We have to drive six hours to see this doctor .. her assistants, like Reagan and Marsha and others in the office are warm, friendly, sincere and affectionate and appear to be happy working there. That very thing makes the trip bearable.
The doctor leads the way for this attitude and if an awesome eye surgeon who is as excited about the awesome results as her patients are.

After caring for our child’s vision for the past year, we recently moved forward with strabismus surgery and it went great!

Dr. Dawn Duss is truly the best. She made us feel confident and informed every step of the way, and her care for our child was exceptional. The surgery was smooth and recovery was easier than expected.

We’re so grateful for Dr. Duss and the entire team!

Loved meeting Dr. Duss! She was thorough and explained the next steps to my child’s eye health. I didn’t feel rushed and appreciated the aggressive approach she recommended for child’s eye development. I left the appointment with optimism and a plan. Will see her again, soon. Thank you!
