I had already heard great reviews about Dr. Lawrence and my experience reflected the same. He took time to explain and recommend the course of treatment and procedure (colonoscopy) and we had a very good two-way discussion about the timing and what made the most sense given my history and his comprehensive understanding of the guidelines. It was great.

I can say I was treated with respect by everyone I incurred. Dr. Lawrence was special. We discussed my heath issues that had nothing to do with the procedure he was going to do. He gave me insights into things no other MD has done. Three cheers for Dr. Lawrence.
