He took the time to explain things with the procedure and so genuine! Although i was upset about having to wait due to my BMI, i understand his concerns for me and im so thankful. I know in the end the hard part will be worth it and I'm looking forward to doing my surgery with him! :)

Dr. Lawson is great, he actually listens, and clearly explains any questions. I think he’s super caring and he remembers our conversations from previous appointments.

Amazing. From consultation to after surgery Dr. Lawson has been wonderful. When it comes to plastic surgery we all know there can be judgement and stigmas around it. He seemed genuinely excited for me to get my body back to pre baby and weight gain/loss. Any uneasiness I may have felt disappeared after a visit with him. Highly highly recommend
