This rating is not for this doctor. It is for whoever I actually seen today.I actually did not see Dr. Lawrence I saw a different gentleman. I don't know if he was whatever the equivalent of a Nurse practitioner is in orthopedic offices, but he listened to everything I said I didn't jock to conclusions without even looking at me. He was kind, never sarcastic and genuinely seemed interested in what I was saying, even if he really wasn't 😊

Dr. Lawrence always takes time to explain what is going on and how he can help… I have seen him previously and have had excellent results! Dr. Lawrence is top-notch! I’m so happy I found him!

Loved him. Listened then explained problem and showed me on xrays. Explained options starting with least invasive that we were going to try. Felt very confident he knew exactly what was wrong. Didn"t make me feel like I was over reacting when I told him the severity of the pain like my regular doctor did with 'you are just getting older and being in pain is part of it.'
