Robert Dawe's Online Review Report Card

I do not know why these reviews for Dr. Dawe are so low. I have been his pt since I was an infant. He treated me for bilateral clubbed feet. He gave me the ability to walk normally as a child, and now as an adult. He know's his specialty like no other. I highly recommend him and OSG to anyone having any ortho issues. If my baby ever needed to see an ortho, he'd be the guy!

Dr. Dawe is a very straightforward Doctor, he diagnosed my infants issue with club feet early on and treated her so well that she ended up not having to go through with a heel release surgery (very big deal to me being the mother of a newborn). I would recommend Dr. Dawe to family and friends, simply because he knows his stuff, if something doesn't work he tries a new approach, and if you as a parent do your part then efforts made by both you and the Doctor together will truly surprise you.

What a rude...dismissive man. Treated my wife & I with derision. The appt's were for our 10 yr old. He's a terrible communicator and won't answer questions and in fact doesn't want them. Terrible with children. Insulted we had 2 other Dr. opinions (not surprising with this jerk). Reversed his prior opinion this was injury related now saying congenative and refused to say why reversed his opinion and the opinion of independent Adv Radiology MD write up saying was injury related. Find another Dr.!

I don't doubt this doc knows his stuff, but he has zero people skills and an unprofessional manner. We will be getting our follow up care elsewhere.

Dr. Dawe was cold during our first meeting and ended it rather rudely. I left there actually feeling upset. A few weeks later I heard from the therapy staff and have now had two appointments wherein nothing happened but lying down for 20 minutes with a heating pad, which I do at home for free. And I have had no followup from Dr. Dawe.

Mt initial meeting with Dr. Dawe was one that left me dissapointed as explained in my last letter.After seeing him twice more I am relieved in that I find him to be thorough and knowledgeable in assessing and explaining my condition and and in drawing up a corresponding course of action.Working light duty is difficult but it is better than staying at home.

Dr Dawe stated that he could not accurately evaluate me without x-rays which my previous doctor did not send over or a mri or cat scan that the insurance company is refusing to authorize.These being needed to assess my healing in a compression fracture of the 4th vertabrae.Totally understandable.He then proceeded to put me on a 25lb.limit back to work status without telling me.This authorization being given to the workmans compensation insurance company.He did this without having any knowledge of my character or what my work as a mover truck driver consists of.I was informed by this change in status a week after seeing him.I went back to work on 10/4/10 and although my employers treated me kindly any bending or excessive standing caused me an aggravated pain which I expect will only get worse.I am flabbergasted by these events with a shattered hope that I would receive better medical treatment.

Good doctor. Horrible people/social skills, especially with children. It takes a special heart to work in pediatric specialties, and I don't think he is the right fit for it.

Your back may or may not feel better but you'll leave with a sore butt because you'll feel like you were screwed. Don't go there.
