Douglas Dawson, MD
Otolaryngology — Board-Certified ENT
Nice to Meet You
Hi, I’m Dr. Doug Dawson, a Sinus and Snoring Surgeon at ADVENT. I grew up in Burbank, California, and my path to medicine started early, working as a lab courier and asking questions everywhere I went. I’ve always loved science and figuring things out—medicine just felt like the perfect fit. I trained in ENT at the University of Iowa, stayed on staff there, and have spent more than 20 years caring for patients in Iowa and Montana. I’m excited to be back closer to home and part of the innovative team at ADVENT.
What drew me to ENT—and keeps me passionate about it—is the chance to make a real difference in how people breathe, sleep, and feel. I’m also board-certified in sleep medicine, and I love helping patients connect the dots between nasal health and their overall well-being.
At ADVENT, we keep things simple and effective. Gone are the days of long recoveries—our in-office procedures are cutting-edge, with minimal downtime and maximum results. I take pride in listening first, explaining things clearly, and partnering with you to find the right path forward.
I look forward to meeting you at ADVENT!

More About Me
Outside the office, I’m into fitness—CrossFit, hiking, skiing, and biking. I’ve even started spending time in Switzerland, where my partner lives (and yes, I’m trying to keep up with her in the Alps!). I’m also a proud grandpa with two granddaughters and four grandsons.
Sinus infections? Snoring? Sleep apnea?
