Doctor Lawler She was very good to listen to my issues, a really good Doctor.
Very efficient and pleasant
Erica truly cares and listens to her patients. I finally found a surgeon that cares!! I love her for caring for me as if I were family!!
Personal, genuine, thorough & explained things well.
Great
Dr. Lawler is amazing, very knowledgable and patient, doesn’t just rush in to do surgery until she has ruled everything else out!!
She is the best very concerning understanding loyal I couldn't ask for a better experience
Very pleased with Ericka and you organization.
She treated me like she had known me for years. Then to top it off she re checked my xrays. Personally called me to tell me there was a slight break and what to do. I thought they were all amazing. Very professional, friendly...Top notch group of people 👏
Dr. Lawler was by far THE most patient and relatable doctor I’ve ever had in my life!! She actually took the time to listen to me, examined my wrist, compared images and made a plan to get me back into functional form. I can’t say how much of a relief I felt having an orthopedic doctor/surgeon like Dr. Lawler accept me as her patient!!
