Dawson Integrative Medical Center, LLC is a Primary Care office with a Twist! Our promise to you is to provide comforting, unique, and effective treatment options for your healthcare, medical needs, and conditions. We specialize in Integrative & Functional Medicine, which means we combine traditional medicine with natural, holistic, and alternative healthcare. Our goal is to work with you in prevention and wellness, treating the root cause of your symptoms/diseases and to reverse chronic conditions. We view the body as an integrative whole and believe that when there is an imbalance in one area, it can manifest with symptoms in other areas. Our physicians are trained and versed in both Traditional Western Medicine & Alternative Eastern Medicine. This allows our patients the best chance for optimal treatment outcomes and wellness.
We offer:
Our providers always perform thorough and thoughtful evaluations and we will order any laboratory tests, diagnostic or screening tests/radiology and/or give referrals as necessary. While we always try to keep treatments as natural as possible (including supplements, herbal medicine and even dietary considerations), there are times that traditional medications might be necessary and will be ordered and prescribed appropriately. We also have an on-site lab for a variety of laboratory testing.
Rest assured that if you are seeking alternative, acupuncture, herbal medicine and/or Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments, all modalities are performed by highly educated, trained, and experienced Board Certified & Licensed Acupuncture Physicians and Herbalists. Unlike other providers that perform dry needling or acupuncture after only basic training of approximately 1-2 weekends, our providers have had over 3 years of classroom and theory-based education and clinical setting experience. So, you will receive true alternative treatment. To ensure the highest standard of care for yourself, always check to see if your Acupuncture Physician and Herbalist is licensed by the state as such and that they are Board Certified with The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
As a patient of our practice, you will receive Patient-Centered Care and "concierge-like" services without the costly fees!

Primary Care & Acupuncture Physician
Dr. Walter Dawson is a licensed and Board Certified as an Acupuncture Physician and Primary Care Provider. Traditional Chinese Medicine treats a variety of health conditions, including, but not limited to: PTSD, stroke rehabilitation, Bell's Palsy, chemotherapy/radiation symptom relief, addictions, headaches, and acute and chronic pain syndromes. Dr. Walter specializes in Cosmetic Acupuncture, embracing the desire of patients looking to rejuvenate and revitalize regions of their face and neck.
Looking back, Dr. Walter recalled an interest in in medicine at an early age. In his childhood he found himself immersed in reading medical-related books and watching medical television shows. Upon graduating from high school, Dr. Walter joined the military, where he served for 10 years. He would first serve as an Army Aviation Mechanic before re-enlisting to become an Army Medic. He proudly served his country in many special military operations and conflicts around the globe; including "Operation Desert Storm."
Dr. Walter's interest in alternative medicine developed after his mother was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. In less than one year after being diagnosed, she lost her battle with the disease. Western medicine had put forth and earnest effort in treating his mother's physical body; however, concurrent treatment of her spirit and mind were left neglected and unattended to. One day while reading an article on Chinese Medicine Philosophy, Dr. Walter became captivated by its theory that "the mind, body and spirit are considered one. Any imbalance in one, leads to an imbalance in another. " This sparked his interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Prior to attending medical school, Dr. Walter worked 20+ years in the medical field. His experiences included work as a medical assistant, telemetry technician, phlebotomist, and a paramedic. In 2014, he enrolled in the College of Integrative Medicine in Orlando, Florida. In 2021, Dr. Walter obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Professional Health Studies and a Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine. In 2022, he became nationally Board Certified through NCCAOM as a Diplomate in Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture, and Herbology. Dr. Walter is licensed by the State of Florida as a Primary Care Provider and Acupuncture Physician.
In his spare time, Dr. Walter enjoys working out at the gym, reading, learning, spending time with his family, traveling and exploring diverse cultures. Other interests include motorcycles, movies, and following wherever his adventurous nerd side takes him.

A message from Dr. Walter and Dr. Christina....
Hello and thank you for taking some time to visit our website to learn more about us and our practice.
Before we became Dr. Walter and Dr. Christina, we were eager medical students ready to make a difference in the world. Having met in school and unfortunately sharing an all too familiar story of losing parents to cancer, we both were passionate about wanting to bridge the gap in the current healthcare system. We envisioned an integrative practice, whereby we were able to combine a variety of treatment options that included natural, alternative, and conventional medicine; supporting the patient's mind, body, and spirit in a truly holistic manner. Undoubtedly, the advances in traditional Western Medicine are amazing, but what if that cutting edge technology can be combined with a doctor that offers patient-centered care? One that takes the time to get to know their patients and focuses on root-causes of their symptoms? A doctor that works to reverse chronic diseases or focuses on preventative care, or better yet, one that actually PARTNERS with their patients?
We envisioned a family run practice where we would be able to support the needs of our patients no matter what they were going through. Our hopes were to be able to break the mold of how healthcare is and practice how it SHOULD be. We wanted to make patients feel like part of our family and not just a date of birth on a piece of paper.
In 2021, we founded Dawson Integrative Medical Center, LLC and opened our office in the Conway area of Orlando with an amazingly warm welcome from the nearby community. Together, we have been able to offer an inviting environment for our patients to seek treatment for a variety of healthcare concerns. Furthermore, we pride ourselves on ensuring excellent continuity of care should the need arise to refer or collaborate with other providers or specialists. We also welcome the opportunity to work with other providers in collaboration or in a supportive role for patient care. Community participation and support are very important to us and we welcome the opportunity to give back when we can. We also proudly partner with nearby schools, such as Conway Middle School, to provide on-site School & Sports Physicals at their campus events!
It would be our honor to be your healthcare provider. We hope to see you soon!
