July 16, 2012

Dr. Lawrence is amazing. So is everyone on his team

July 10, 2012

How can anyone complain about the best visit to the Doctors office that I have ever had.

June 19, 2012

I did not get an answer to my problem, it seemed that the provider was not sure what was causing my pain.

May 12, 2012

Since we were trying to make an informed decision regarding a high risk surgery for our son, Dr. Lawrence was a breath of fresh air for us. He was respectful, listened well, and explained things in a succinct yet complete way. We feel fortunate that we had the opportunity to seek his counsel after the many health challenges our son has faced.

May 01, 2012

Dr. Brandon Lawrence is definitelt the best orthopaedic surgeon I have ever been treated by. He has an outstanding level of care and support to me, as his patient. He is so kind and comforting. Always there for me answering my questions and tackling my concerns through his assistant of through his e mail. I do appreciate the fact that he is generous enough to reply to my e mails if I have concerns about my injuries even while him being on vacation or on the weekends. He made me say and feel that I got lucky that I had the surgery while he was on call on that day. He is a great doctor and a great person.

April 18, 2012

Dr. Lawrence renewed my confidence that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that I won't just be sitting in limbo forever.

March 28, 2012

We have recommended Drs Daubs, and Lawrance and Dr Lawrance has seen another friend. This is also the third major surgery I have had with Drs Kubiak and Daubs, all with excellent results.

March 21, 2012

I had been to 2 other Orthopedic Surgeons before Dr. Lawrence. Dr. Lawrence is the only one who took the time to explain things and did more testing to get to the bottom of my problem. He took the time to explain things and he was reassuring. Very caring person.

March 14, 2012

The doctor was very nice and so was his assistant. They seemed very compassionate and helpful. The meds they gave me don't seem to be working. But they listened intently. I will come back. They prescribed a visit to a neurologist but I haven't heard from anyone yet. They were supposed to call.

February 29, 2012

I do not feel the Dr took my concerns seriously. I feel like he passed them off. I have felt that way ever since he took over for Dr Patel. He does not know my history and does not really seem too interested to learn it.

February 25, 2012

Dr Lawrence was excellent.

February 18, 2012

Every physician should take a few lessons from Dr. Lawrence .......

February 18, 2012

I will reserve most of my comments until I get satisfactory results from this doctor.

January 25, 2012

exceptional willingness to spend additional time explaining planned operation and addressing my concerns.

January 21, 2012

My first visit I felt like Dr. Lawrence was excited to help me but this time he didn't seem to be listening to what I was saying and in a hurry to get me out the door and into a different type of doctors care.

January 21, 2012

good
