Kevin Lawson, M.D.
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.

Dr. Lawson was great. He understood my problem and is helping me with a walker and back brace. Wants to get some more x-rays of my lower back and I'll see him in 2 months.
