Dr. lawler explained the procedure and options extremely well and also provided me with a colleague who may be able to help another condition I have. Very prompt for getting appointments and scheduling. I’m very grateful!
My incision was never sewn up correctly from the original surgery. It never healed when I went to my postop appointment the physicians assistant attempted to sew it up again, but didn’t do a very good job. Next I had to have an OR debridement and Cleaning, I am on antibiotic In addition, the wound never healed and got infected from the original surgery So now I was just informed that they found two types of bacteria, so the infectious disease department is going to be calling me to discuss what we’re going to do next. Not going to lie I am a very upset right now. Dr. Lawler did my original surgery and everything went great This has been a mess since the start and it hasn’t gotten any better, every time I go in there’s something wrong and I don’t see an end in sight to getting this healed up
Straight to the point and listened to my thoughts.
So very nice and competent.
Very friendly, and explained procedure so well.
I felt very good about my appointment with Dr. Lawyer. She was very thorough, friendly and professional!
