Dr. Lawler was wonderful. She was very thorough with my exam, took time to listen, answered questions and made me feel like she cared about me as a patient. I truly appreciate the time she spent with me. I appreciate the entire staff at Steindler- their kindness makes them stand out compared to other orthopedic offices I have been to.
This visit was very different from past visits to Steindler. This visit I felt listened to, like the doctor, and multiple other professionals that helped me, weren’t just checking off a list. They took into consideration the length of time I have been feeling pain, what tests and treatments have been done, and
Super professional - described things in a way that were easy to understand and made my daughter feel very comfortable
