Meet Dr. Lawson-Myers
Hello! I am Dr. Heather-Dawn Lawson-Myers.
I grew up in Jamaica and returned here to practice dentistry.
I have been a Dentist for over three decades.
But let me back up.
I received my dental training from Howard University College of Dentistry in Washington D.C.
I then practiced dentistry in the United States for a number of years.
But my desire was always to return to Jamaica.
Together with my dental team, we serve a broad cross-section of patients in the Kingston and St. Andrew metropolitan areas, where significant emphasis is placed on exceptional quality dental care and optimum customer service.
Through transformative coaching and impactful speaking engagements, I am unwaveringly dedicated to shaping not just smiles, but also futures, instilling confidence and reassurance in those I work with.
I am a Maxwell Leadership Certified Team member.
Trained by John C Maxwell, one of the world’s foremost leadership experts, I utilize my leadership training to empower individuals and teams to achieve their highest potential.
I am a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach.
I’m trained and certified in Gallup’s research-backed CliftonStrengths methodology. I help dental teams uncover and harness their unique talents, empowering them to optimize performance, boost engagement, and drive sustainable success.
I am honored to serve as a trusted mentor to aspiring dentists and dental students.
I actively serve the Dental Program at The University of the West Indies.
With a deep-rooted passion for cultivating growth and igniting potential, I sit on the management committee for the Dental Program at The University of the West Indies, ensuring the next generation of dental professionals receives top-tier guidance and support.
I am an active member of the Jamaica Dental Association and have served three terms as President and three as Vice President.
Overseeing 25 international dental conferences and chairing five, I am a dedicated supporter of professional growth.
Prior to that, I served the council for six years and have held various positions, including Chairperson of the Dental Board of Examination Committee and Chief Dental Examiner.
Most recently, I developed a series of innovative online training course for dental assistants and other dental team members. I am passionate about empowering others to embark on or advance their careers in dentistry.
That’s why I created an easy-to-access and easy-to-digest online experience that will provide them with the training essential for success as a dental assistant – my online course series, Dental Assisting Made Easy.
I am the proud mother of son, Jarell, and daughter, Shauna.
I am actively involved with the Liturgical Dance and Women’s Ministries at the Swallowfield Chapel where I worship.
I also enjoy participating in modern dance classes, walking in the early morning, and entertaining friends and family during my leisure time.
