Dr Lawrence is a Good listener and she has a very calming demeanor. She is trying to help me feel better.
Outstanding experience in all respects.
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.

Dr. Lawrence listens and values your input. She wants to work with you instead of just telling you what she wants to do.

Dr. Lawrence is a real pro- caring and highly competent. Straightforward, answers all questions and explains treatment without speaking in " medical tongue". She was highly recommended by orthopedic PA and I am very pleased with her expertise and professionalism. ***
Excellent, caring, and easy to talk to. The doctor explained all options available to me, and said they are ready to help when I am ready to move forward.
Very professional, provided all the information I needed to move forward with treatment.
Dr Lawrence and I focused on finding out why I have the pain in my back and down my right leg. She and her assistant were very thorough in checking my reflects to see what might be causing the pain. We decided together that an MRI was needed to see if an Injection or some other medical procedure Is appropriate.
