Amazing experience! Dr. Lawrence treated me like I was his priority, and unfortunately did not receive that at another provider. Dr. Lawrence did not talk over me-he explained everything, in detail, in an easy to understand way, and made me feel important and a priority to him. Highly recommend making TOC your first call.
Dr. Lawrence is an awesome doctor/surgeon!
Great, very personable and efficient
It was my 1st visit & my husband & I felt great that we selected him.
He was lit. Got straight to the point and was funny in a professional way. Sincerely 4x State chump
very good dr being going to him for years
This doctor found my problem within a short time. I had been going to another orthopedic doctor for six weeks of PT and still was in as much or maybe more pain. So glad I gave up and went to TOC.
Yes, total knee replacement..Excellent care…explained everything! Fantastic follow up!
Great doctor couldnt ask for better
Took time to explain MRI and what to expect from surgery. Personable and listened well.
