    I recently visited Dawson Dental, and I am beyond impressed with the level of care and professionalism provided. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly and made me feel at ease. The clinic itself is modern, clean, and inviting, with a calming atmosphere that instantly put me at comfort. Dr. Dawson and the entire team took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process, addressing all of my questions and concerns. It’s clear they are highly skilled and committed to providing top-quality dental care. The treatment I received was both gentle and efficient, and I left feeling confident in the care I had received. I truly appreciate the attention to detail and personalized care that Dawson Dental offers. It’s rare to find a dental practice that combines expertise with such a genuine and caring approach. I highly recommend Dawson Dental to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and friendly dental team.

    Dr. Gakhal was very pleasant and answered all of my questions. Appointment with him was brief when compared to the dental cleaning with the lovely hygienist. Prices were higher than what I was quoted prior to attending, but everyone was lovely and I had a good experience. Shauna was especially wonderful.
