About Me

Dr. Aaron D. Dotson is an ophthalmologist whose practice centers on cataract surgery, corneal transplantation, and the care of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the eye. He is committed to surgical precision and clear communication, making sure every patient understands their diagnosis, options, and recovery plan. In addition to his clinical work, he enjoys teaching and regularly mentors medical students and residents, bringing the latest evidence and techniques into day-to-day care.

Away from clinic, Dr. Dotson is a classically trained pianist and multi-instrumentalist, a discipline that informs his thoughtful, detail-oriented approach in the operating room. His professional dedication has been recognized with advocacy honors from national ophthalmology organizations, and patients value his calm manner and focus on individualized outcomes. Whether addressing a complex corneal problem or planning routine cataract surgery, he aims to help each person see comfortably and confidently again.
