Dr. Melissa L. Dawson

Urogynecology is a field that offers me an opportunity to improve the lives of women in all stages of life. The biggest compliment I receive is when patients tell me how much better they feel and how they are able to live their lives to the fullest after completing treatment. I spend a lot of time talking with each patient and figuring out how her problem is impacting her life. Then I try to exceed her goals and expectations with excellent care. I want to give my patients hope by offering a treatment plan that improves or cures their condition.
