M. Shane Dawson, MD, FACS

Dr. Dawson is fantastic, and I would recommend him to anyone without a second thought. Every step of the way was great - the ease of scheduling the first appointment, welcoming (and very helpful) staff, beautiful and clean office, his easy to understand explanations of whatever your issue might be and the procedure that will take place, the calm and confidence he instills on the day-of surgery, and his regular check-ins and close monitoring post-op. With Dr. Dawson you never feel like you are just a number. Excellent surgeon and team, very highly recommend.

Dr. Shawn Dawson — truly an exceptional surgeon I recently had laparoscopic gallbladder surgery performed by Dr. Shawn Dawson at Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the care I received. From my first appointment through the day of surgery and recovery, Dr. Dawson showed such kindness, patience, and professionalism. He took the time to explain every step, eased my worries, and made me feel completely confident that I was in the best hands. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery has been much better than I expected — a true reflection of his skill and attention to detail. I also want to thank the entire team at Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital for their compassion and support. Everyone made me feel comfortable and cared for throughout the proc

Dr Dawson is patient, caring, empathetic I can go on forever. Truly wants to help and get you well. Sends text messages to check in on you. He also responds quickly to any questions or concerns. Kim and Jose at the front desk are awesome as well. Friendly, professional and welcoming. They are also very willing to answer any questions. I am so happy that I found Dr. Dawson's practice and will forever be greatful to him and his team.

Dr. Dawson and his team are absolutely amazing! This is how medicine should be practiced. From the very first appointment, Dr. Dawson was warm, thorough, and made me feel completely at ease. He took the time to answer every single question and never made me feel rushed. What really blew me away was the follow-up care. Dr. Dawson personally checked in every day after my surgery. That kind of attention is so rare and speaks volumes about how much he cares about his patients. His team is just as incredible, special shout-out to Kimberly and Jose! They work together like a well-oiled machine, and the whole process was smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a skilled surgeon who truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Dr. Dawson and his team enough!

I am a 74 year old woman who had developed a large incisional hernia as a result of two emergency surgeries for bowel obstruction. Needless to say recovery from these surgeries took a toll on my body as well as my psyche, and I did not want to undergo another long surgery. When it came time to address the hernia, one of my referrals was Dr. Dawson. I remember leaving my first consultation with him knowing that I was in the right hands. He took so much time to explain the process and procedure and when I wasn't sure if I wanted to have the surgery, he didn't push me but said "we can watch it". I chose surgery.
