About DR. FELECIA L. DAWSON

Dr. Felecia Dawson didn’t spend decades in medicine to rush patients through a checklist. She spent them listening.

With more than 30 years in clinical practice, Dr. Dawson built her career in women’s health, where care is rarely simple and never one-size-fits-all. Over time, she saw a familiar pattern: patients doing “everything right,” yet still living with pain, anxiety, sleep issues, and chronic symptoms that conventional treatments alone weren’t resolving. That curiosity — and concern — is what ultimately led her to medical cannabis care.

Grounded in traditional obstetrics and gynecology and expanded through integrative medicine, Dr. Dawson approaches cannabis the same way she approaches everything else: cautiously, deliberately, and with context. No buzzwords. No promises. Just an honest evaluation of whether cannabis may play a meaningful role in improving a patient’s quality of life.

Her style is unhurried and deeply personal. With a hard-fostered penchant for asking questions before handing out solutions, she believes in ensuring that patients understand not just what they’re being recommended, but why. For Dr. Dawson, cannabis isn’t a shortcut — it’s a tool, and like any medical tool, it should be used with intention and care.

Having spent decades inside traditional healthcare trenches, Dr. Dawson understands where patients often feel unheard or dismissed. At MMJ Health, she’s committed to doing the opposite: meeting patients where they are, acknowledging what they’ve already tried, and helping them move forward with clarity, confidence, and support.
