He’s a excellent doctor ! He did my left hand long ago now trust him to do my knee !!!
Great Dr.
Great
I don't trust anyone else to work on my knees! He's awesome! 👍
First and foremost, the waiting period took over an hour and was seen by Dr Lawrence for approximately 5 minutes. No introduction, as a matter of fact, I have to ask him if he's Dr. Lawrence. I wasn't ask if I have any questions or concern, especially his findings will most likely a 98% surgery. I left the clinic with some doubts and a more stressful state of mind.
I think he is a great dr.
It was very thorough and explanation and wasted no time in finding a solution
I'm very pleased. Only a few minutes wait time, and Dr. Lawrence was very thorough and friendly. Got a shot and feel better already!
