Client Testimonials

Professional, practical and the kindest, most down to earth and genuine bedside (chair side?) manner imaginable. Dr. Lawler puts patients completely at ease, but also is highly technically qualified and skilled in discussing options and medical findings with depth and clarity. Actually makes getting an injection in the knee - dare I say?- a pleasurable experience.

Everyone in the office was very personable and Dr. Lawson was a joy to get to know. He listened and conversed with us as if there were no other patients in the office. And his knowledge is commendable. I highly recommend him as an orthopedic surgeon!

Dr. Lawler was awesome. Very attentive to my needs - listened very well to what I told him about the incident and the subsequent and persistent pain. He ordered up a knee brace and an MRI (to be approved), and he gave me an injection to relieve the pain.
My experience with him was 5 stars out of 5 stars.

I was just talking to a friend and realized I never left a review for Dr. Lawler! I've seen him over the past several years for multiple injuries, a torn rotator cuff, hip issues, and a partial hamstring tear. He's done PRP in all 3 areas, and I've had great results every time.
Dr. Lawler is super nice with an amazing bedside manner. He's a fast talker, but he's incredibly knowledgeable, and I 1000% trust him.
I've been a registered nurse for 20 years, working in the surgical specialty, and I only recommend doctors I'd send my own family to. I'd recommend Dr. Lawler without hesitation. You're definitely in good hands!
