AI Overview
Overall sentiment is strongly positive: patients consistently praise Dr. Lawson for being attentive, knowledgeable, compassionate, and thorough. Many mention respectful, friendly staff and clear communication; several say they would recommend her or have referred family members. A few comments note gaps—occasional reluctance to order tests, not prescribing desired medications, or perceived billing-focused care. Administrative issues (scheduling callbacks) and rare bedside-manner concerns appear but are infrequent. Long-term patient trust and successful diagnostic care are recurring strengths.

Sep 26, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I'm disappointed with not being able to discuss concerns with Dr. Lawson during a wellness exam. Supposedly I am to make a separate appointment to discuss these concerns with the doctor. I have better things to do with my time than make multiple appointments when I'm already meeting with the Dr. This seems like a Medicare money grab instead of actually being concerned/invested in the patients' health. I'm assuming this is not Dr. lawson's protocol but rather a mid Michigan one.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
My visit with DR.Lawson and her staff exceeded my expectations. Truly a caring facility and MUCH needed. Health care in eastern northern Michigan is sadly lacking. I have lived here 3 years and have searched for health care that was consistent and caring. Dr Long and her staff have been highly recommended by friends and neighbors. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to this facility. Thank you.
