Cort Lawton, M.D.

Dr Lawton was patient, took time to listen and answer questions I had about my upcoming shoulder surgery. I left feeling informed and in good hands.

Dr. Lawton is great and so his is staff. The wait in the waiting room for a appointment is long.

Very knowledgeable doctor that took time with me and discussed my options.

Patients waiting more than 45 min. Cannot meet schedule on time.

I did have to wait almost a half hour to even see him.

Very informative, great manners, and thorough!

He takes his time and explains procedures well!! I don’t feel rushed.

He is the best.

Top notch doctor. Love him

Very knowledgeable and thorough. like him a lot

I’m delighted to have found an effective solution for my injury, thanks to the expertise of Dr. Cort Lawton. His treatment made it easy to make the right decision without any hesitation.

He explained all my choices about my medical problems and took his time to explain everything

Great first meeting. Felt as though he was willing to listen to my issues and work out a treatment plan. I was impressed..

Listens to his patients

Great doctor who took time to explain things and listen to you.

Did see him , saw his pa! Great job!

Felt a little rushed and like I wasn’t being listened to when I told him something didn’t work for me.

I actually never saw Dr Lawton, I saw his PA, disappointed in that but he offered to bring him in but I did not want to take him away from other patients.

Very to the point.

Really took time and showed genuine concern for my ailing right knee. Top notch! Made the decision easier to take a cortisone injection and follow-up with him in a month.

Great experience

Took the time to listen to me and give me a couple of options I can go with.

He was great and gave me all my options!

Listens to sx issues & some things try to help with following with pain

Great experience from start to finish. Professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Dr. Lawton is incredible!! He did an amazing job an my daughters ACL surgery. He also is so kind and caring. He takes the appropriate time to explain everything before the surgery and throughout the entire recovery. He gave my daughter so much reassurance that her recovery is on track and she is doing great.

Dr. Lawson is very professional and caring. I felt that it was very caring to my needs.

Everyone was good

I believe I seen someone different but whoever he was was amazing

Dr Lawton is at the top of his game. He has great experience, is very thorough, and is a great surgeon.

He is by far the best Dr for a sport injury! He has such knowledge about my son’s injuries I wouldn’t want to see anyone else!

Great guy.

Exceptional professionalism!!! Quick and efficient, thoroughly answered all of my questions

He was very thorough and patient.

Always very professional and kind...explains everything clearly so I can understand

Thorough, great bed side manner, knowledgeable, makes certain you understand plan of care . I’ve seen him for knee and hip. Excellent doctor

Friendly, good scheduling options. Laid out the issues and treatment options. Efficient office visit, (which is very much appreciated from the patient/client perspective)

Dr.Lawton is without a doubt one of the best doctors that has treated me. A ten all the way.

I didn’t actually get to see dr Lawton( who I’ve normally seen) I saw his pa who was super informal and short … I felt a little lost he came in for 3 minutes said he’d submit for knee injections and then said they’d call when they got approved

I didn't even get to see the doctor just the PA. Felt rushed the whole time. Waited for 1 hour to even get an exam but only spend 2 mins with the PA. Was supposed to get a note for work but they never came back with it. Just the lady with my mri referral. No answers on what is going on with my knee.

Very professional. First impression is he knows what he is doing.

He took all the time needed to answer any questions. Not making me feel rushed or as if he didn't truly care. I felt he gave his advice and treatment with care

Outstanding bedside manner and communication skills. Excellent surgery skills.

Fantastic doctor. Extremely knowledgeable, and very informative, walks you thru and takes his time on what he is going to do or has done. If I ever break a knee again, it's right back to him I will go.

He looks at your overall situation to provide you with the best options for your body not general situations

Took time to explain my injury in detail and answered all my questions. He was excellent!

Excellent care.

Always makes me feel like I am his only patient. Explains everything in detail and shares what he would do if it was him in the situation.

Loved his energy and relatability to my 14 yr son. Very knowledgeable and showed care and concern! He's awesome!

The surgery that you guys provided was very very good. I’ve had this operated on before, and it doesn’t compare to anything that I’ve had done prior he did excellent work if I had to give him a reading 1 to 10 I’d say it was a 12. I’m just impressed by everything that has been done. Thank you.

Great guy. Great doctor

Dr. Lawton is professional, intelligent, medically knowledgeable, articulate in details of your care, patient, and thoroughly impressive! Other medical professionals ant the hospital stated he is one of the best- and after my surgery I agree.

My daughter saw Dr. Lawton for a knee injury. He was very thorough, compassionate and knowledgeable. He took his time to explain everything so we understood.

He's an amazing Doctor. He truly cares about his patients. He takes the time to explain everything. I am extremely grateful for everything he's done.

Awesome!! Doctor was very unstandable and clear.

Dr. Lawton was very precise and very good explain things very clearly to me. However we waited an hour for an appointment. Some thing that has never happened before at Ortho Illinois. Very disappointed understand that things can happen but we were called twice into x-rays which I did not need had an x-ray the week before and an MRI a few days before where we got the diagnosis I was there to see Dr. Lawton for the diagnosis that had already happened and what we could do about it not to have another x-ray so things were very confusing. Everybody seemed out of sync, but overall we were very happy with the doctor

Amazing.

Dr. Lawton was quick, concise, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. No complaints whatsoever.

Excellent, knowledgeable and very sports-minded !

Nice man, straight shooter with a good bedside manner.

Always professional and explains his plan perfectly.

Dr Lawton listens to my concerns and offers options for treating my injuries. I trust his guidance and appreciate his giving me a referral for pain management.

Awesome put me back together with ease

He was very professional and timely. Took time to explain everything. They are a well oiled machine!

Excellent, very personal, detailed & easy to understand explanations. Was not rushed at all.

Really like Dr. Lawton. One suggestion. I brought in the sling he gave me post-surgery. It was perfect condition, but procedure is to not reuse. I get it that reusing presents issues, but not reusing is wasteful, and contributes to a larger problem with medical care - expense side. There really is no reason not to reuse items like slings. Besides that issue, which is bigger than Dr. Lawton, I am grateful for his care.

Great Doc! Tells it like it is.

Dr. Lawton identified my hip issue, and tried all other options before jumping to surgery. Ultimately I required surgery. He and his team did a great job preparing me for surgery and my after care. Dr. Lawton did a fantastic job on my repairs and I would highly recommend him.

Explained my situation very simply, very clearly, explaining my options very clearly.

Again very thoughtful and made sure I understood everything.

My appointment was at 9:30am and I was never seen. Got there at 9:05am. Was told at my scheduled appointment time that there were 2 people ahead of me. Ended up leaving at 10:10am with out being seen. I was referred by Dr. Mox. This was to be my first time meeting Dr. lawton to schedule a surgery Date. This was a bad experience. And no one even was able To reschedule an appointment.

Very nice dr very informative

Very personable & down to earth

Dr. Lawton is very compassionate and keeps me informed of what he's doing every step of the way.

Him got loud when my wife asked him questions a couple of times, not very professional

Great bedside manner and is a terrific surgeon. No complaints from me. A number1 in my books.

This Dr is one of the best specialists we have ever had. He did my daughter’s knee surgery for both legs and my husband’s surgery for his back. All surgeries were successful! He is very patient, kind and makes time for his patient’s questions. Highly recommend!!

He takes his time, he treats you like the individual that you are and not just another number! Compassionate is an understatement! I’m VERY grateful I found him and the rest of the team of Orthopedics, at Ortho Of IL! They’ve gone over and beyond for me and my AVN! Highly suggest for any ortho related injuries/problems!

Extremely professional and took the time to answer all my questions. Doesn’t push surgery but works with you and takes time to discuss all options.

It was a real pleasure meeting you today, Dr. Lawton. This was my 1st visit for pain in my right shoulder. It started out with some right shoulder x-rays. When Dr. Lawton came in he started out by moving my arms around to determine where the pain was. Dr. Lawton was very professional, exceptional people skills (very easy to talk with), and efficient in explaining what was wrong with my right shoulder in a manner that I could understand. Dr. Lawton took the time to completely examine, diagnose and come up with a plan to relieve the pain. I highly recommend Dr. Lawton and his staff, exceptional!

Very professional and well qualified.
