Did You Know?

Did you know that prolonged screen time and a lack of outdoor play can increase your child’s risk of developing nearsightedness? Fortunately, simple habits such as taking regular screen breaks and spending more time outside make a powerful difference in supporting their healthy vision.

I cannot recommend Dr. Duss and her team highly enough! I had strabismus (misaligned eyes) that began in childhood and progressively worsened as I got older. Dr. Duss performed my eye surgery, and I am beyond pleased with the results! From the very beginning, Dr. Duss and her staff took the time to explain the procedure, what to expect, and any potential risks in great detail. On the day of surgery, Dr. Duss personally came to greet me and put my fears at ease. Her compassion and reassurance meant so much to me. What truly sets Dr. Duss apart is her exceptional bedside manner and genuine care for her patients. She even called me personally later that evening to check on me and make sure I was doing well. That level of personal attention is rare and speaks volumes about her dedication to her patients. The quality of care, professionalism, and customer service provided by Dr. Duss and her entire team are second to none. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care I received and the wonderful outcome of my surgery. Thank you, Dr. Duss and team, for making this such a positive experience! I highly recommend you to anyone considering strabismus surgery.

Dr Duss is the best of the best. Knowledgable but cares deeply about the community and has dropped everything to help us more than once when my son has had eye emergencies.

Dr. Dawn Duss and her staff offer top notch and compassionate care. We have entrusted her in our daughter’s care for over a decade. Dr. Duss can handle any level of medical complexity and will support the whole child as they develop.
