About Dawn M. Gary, MD
My name is Dawn Gary and I’m a pediatrician at Children’s Physicians, Embassy Park.
I was a neonatal intensive care nurse first, and that really got me interested in becoming a pediatrician. I wanted to take these children from being little tiny babies clear up through adulthood.
My patients would describe me as caring, compassionate, a good listener — but still fun. I try to help them figure out what’s going on and then make the best decisions they can for a good, healthy outcome. I listen to what the parents have to say and what the child has to say — and then try to figure out what the problem is and what their possible treatments are.
We are part of a medical home — so that means that we’ve got all of Children’s services at our fingertips. We have social services, psychology services, lactation support, nurses who are qualified to give good triage advice, and also help us keep up and make sure everyone’s coming in for their preventative care checkups. If our patients need to see a specialist, we’re connected with Children’s — which has the best specialists in the area.
The best advice I can give to parents and families is to make each day special — and that goes back to the fact that even though we can’t cure everything, we can do something to make your day better.

One thing I really appreciate about this office, is their willingness to find a spot for us in the schedule when the children need to be seen the same day. The doctors, nurse practitioner, nurses and staff are always friendly, from the first greeting by the receptionist, and I never feel that we are being rushed. This recent appointment was for my medically complex daughter, and she was seeing an NP we had never met, because our pcp was off that day. She was thorough and kind and I left the appointment feeling that my daughter was well cared for. I appreciate having such a competent team for my four kiddos ages 1 to 17. It's hard as a mom and foster mom when your kiddos are feeling sick, especially if you tend to be a worrier. I really like knowing that everyone there knows us, knows all of the childrens' situations, and they treat my medically fragile child like a human being, rather than being scared of her. The social worker who is part of the team there has helped us find a good therapy for my foster son that is really helping our relationship. She has even helped me fill out paperwork for my daughter's SSI, etc. Their new office is beautiful and the rooms are large. I can't think of any negatives about this group.
