Dr. Lawson is very good from the time I entered the hospital to have surgery emergency to continuing what I’m doing right now with the Care that he’s given me he is awesome. He is wonderful. He explains everything he’s the most caring person of a doctor. I know he gives you information to reach out to help you heal. He gives you what you should do and not do as far as through your healing. He’s very caring. I was very pleased like I say from the time he talked to me in the hospital to begin surgery to the time that I’m still continuing going for the healing and explaining the x-rays and going through everything with me, Shows me everything and answers all my questions and concerns. He is wonderful and I have recommended others if they have problems to go to him that needs surgery in the areas that he provides and of the wonderful things that he has done with me as his Care is concerned and how he is he is wonderful. Awesome I would recommend him he deserves 10 gold stars or more😊👏👏

Have been trying to get some kind of help since last October. A little tired of being pushed around from one doctor to another with statements like "Don't understand why you were sent here" " this doctor doesn't do hip surgery" "I could give you new hips but the problem is it wouldn't help because your problem is in your back" . Finally feel like Dr Lawson may be able to help. Had an understandable conversation with him, some helpful suggestions, and fitted for a brace & a future appointment scheduled. Ask me again after the next appointment in May. Hopefully there will be some answers on my problem & a way to help with the pain control. Try to be patient & optometrist about the next appointment.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Not really sure. Had a good experience with Dr Lawson but only one with him. Liked his bed side manor and honesty with me. The rest of the staff not sure about yet. I have been shuffled around these doctors & offices since [MONTH] last year & just now finally feel like I am going to get some answers & hopefully get so help with the whole painful situation. Time will tell. At least now I feel like the doctor has an interest in helping me.

He’s open communication and out there to get you better to get you back to normal and he’s there for you and I highly recommend him to anybody. His bedside manners were awesome.
