I am certain Dr. Lawrence is a very good Pain Management Dr. I saw her once before for the same pain and did not accept medication or an injection which was offered to me. This time I felt she may not have understood my hesitancy to go forward with an injection, although she said that is my decision of course. ***

I arrived 10 minutes early and only waited about 5 minutes in the waiting area. Once the nurse reviewed my records, the doctor was in the room within 1-2 minutes. Dr. Lawrence spent time with me listening to my concerns, reviewing my records and discussing a plan of care and next steps. Never did I feel rushed, and I feel I left with a clear understanding of next steps. Overall, it was a very good visit.
