UofU Patient August 19, 2016
My wife & I love Dr. Lawrence. We love the way he communicates with us & his bedside manner is great...
UofU Patient August 02, 2016Dr Lawrence is awesome. he always has a smile and a great attitude not to mention he is an amazing surgeon, I didn't think I would get any where near 100 % back to normal but I would say I am 99.9% which is pretty darn good considering where I was before and my kids are very thankful they have there mom back to full functioning
UofU Patient July 04, 2016Dr Lawrence understands the situation quickly and acts quickly and to the point. I have great confidence in him.
UofU Patient July 01, 2016Dr. Lawrence is the best!
UofU Patient May 18, 2016Dr Lawrence made me feel like we were long lost friends. He has always shown a concern for my health issues by listening and giving me the time needed.
UofU Patient May 18, 2016I have to have back surgery again and Dr. was suppose to get paper work to the scheduler after my appointment on Friday. He said the scheduler would call me back on Monday and as of Tuesday afternoon had not done so. I'm in so much pain, I'm not sure how much longer i can go. I'm just upset at how much concern I am to my Dr right now. I like my Dr but this will be my 7th surgery. On my previous appt I was told they would go in, take everything out and put in four new rods in. Then on the last appt on the 13th, I was told it would more than likely be three rods. I'm just discouraged at this point.
UofU Patient May 16, 2016We were very pleased with our visit.
UofU Patient May 10, 2016#9 and #10 -- need stronger superlative!
UofU Patient May 07, 2016Dr Lawrence is very professional and includes the patient participation in their care.
UofU Patient April 30, 2016I have already recommended Dr Lawrence to several friends. He is so skilled and kind and concerned for me. He is a genuine person.I feel blessed to have been recommended to him.
UofU Patient April 26, 2016Dr Lawerance has gone out of his way to make sure my medical issues are met and that I understand what is needed. He treat my wife and I like we matter. He was very concerned about my health questions and concerns!
UofU Patient April 26, 2016Good. Hopeful
UofU Patient April 23, 2016Dr. Lawrence is so kind. He is courteous and attentive. He gives one the impression that he's at the top of his game and loves what he's doing.
UofU Patient April 20, 2016Always a great experience
UofU Patient April 05, 2016Have recommended several times Dr Lawrence to others.
UofU Patient March 27, 2016Dr Lawrence understands the situation very quickly and comes up with a good plan.
UofU Patient March 23, 2016The way in which the Dr. Lawerance treated my wife and I made us feel comfortable and assured in his recommendations for treatment. Very personable and willing to get to know us.
UofU Patient March 22, 2016I have already recommended Dr. Lawrence to several people I know. His expertise is way above the rest and his bed side manner is the best I've ever experienced! He let me know he really cared and wanted me to have a good life after surgery.
UofU Patient March 18, 2016Both Dr Lawrence and the other Dr. we met with were outstanding at explaining everything about the surgery, how the surgery would happen and the recovery time for the surgery. I am confident that this surgery will be a success and I will be able to do all the things I used to do once the surgery is completed.
UofU Patient March 16, 2016Dr. Lawrence was wonderful. I am 100% "fixed" with no more pain.
UofU Patient March 15, 2016Care giver lets Dr provide answers for followup & meds
UofU Patient March 12, 2016Very good
UofU Patient March 08, 2016I was treated with the up most respect and treated very good. I would refer everyone to this Dr.
UofU Patient March 06, 2016I'm not sure the doctor had a great treatment option for me. I believe he offered his best solution, but I got the impression (from non-verbal communication) that it might not be effective. I'm not sure though. But I would have appreciated him just being more frank, so I'm not guessing and can make a better decision.
UofU Patient March 05, 2016I forgot how to spell the "Fellow" name. He was really excellent. Very thorough, great manner and explained everything very well. I felt Dr. Lawrence spent very little time with me. He said it was "nice to meet" me when I had a previous appointment with him 3 months earlier.
UofU Patient February 28, 2016Give doctors time to see their patients so they can stay on schedule . . . it is not fair to them or to the patients for whom they care.
UofU Patient February 28, 2016This was an excellent visit.
UofU Patient February 24, 2016I have absolute confidence in my care provider, Dr Brandon Lawrence, and always recommend him to my family, and friends.
UofU Patient February 19, 2016The dr was more rushed however he was behind schedule this day. The PA was supposed to ask the Dr about pain medication for me however she never did.
UofU Patient February 17, 2016Dr. Lawrence is the first surgical doctor in the last 10 years that I have liked and that actually wanted to fix my problems; I've seen probably 10-15 doctors in that time. I was hoping that he would actually do the surgery I needed, so when he suggested surgery I was excited to finally have my neck fixed. I had a lot of questions for him about the different types of surgical options I had available and he took the time to go through every question I had and didn't seem rushed or anything like most other doctors do. He actually cared about what I was going through. Dr. Lawrence is by far the best doctor that I have seen and I would definitely refer him to anyone as my first choice to see. Gold star!
UofU Patient February 15, 2016am still concerned about recovery my complications have had a big negative impact on my life
UofU Patient February 08, 2016Dr Lawrence and his staff are very professional and caring.
UofU Patient January 26, 2016I have referred to this provider and am singing his praises. He did not make any statements about the surgery, my recovery etc that have not been spot on. He has been very empathetic and patient with my PTSD of recurrence.
UofU Patient January 13, 2016Cr Lawrence and his staff are great. Would and have recommended him to others having back problems and needing surgery.
UofU Patient January 13, 2016Have all ready recommended Dr. Lawerance to a friend
UofU Patient January 10, 2016Dr Lawrence is amazing. His knowledge, confidence and directness made me feel well cared for and assured that the right decisions had been made. The right decisions were made and my surgery was 100% successful.
UofU Patient January 07, 2016Dr. Lawrence treated me as a person, not just a patient. He is kind and caring and puts the patient at ease.
UofU Patient November 29, 2015This is a hard one. The PA, Jason, was very good but totally unfamiliar with my history. Dr. Lawrence, during the short time he was in the room, acted as though he had never seen me before. He paid very little attention to me or my problem. Just looked at my X-rays and said there is a lot going on there. That was about it. Jason prescribed some pain cream and I was dismissed. I have chronic back issues and a syrinx. The syrinx was not mentioned. I usually have a CT annually, nothing was mentioned about that. I honestly think they had no idea I was a patient of two years with an on going need for followup. I really had no chance to discuss anything with Dr. Lawrence. He was busy and behind schedule, but I was a patient of his! I appreciate that Dr. Lawrence doesn't jump into surgery. This time, however, it seemed that once he heard me say I want surgery only if there are no other options he lost interest. Very disappointed, almost a wasted appointment but for the pain cream prescribed by Jason.
UofU Patient November 25, 2015Overall outstanding experience seeing Dr. Lawrence.
UofU Patient November 09, 2015Dr. Lawrence was very complete with his explanations and gave me a lot of confidence in the surgery.
UofU Patient November 08, 2015Morning at the U, I can choose ehoninwan to see and I chose Dr. Lawrence because I knew I'd be well take care of and I was. Even after hours issues were addressed immediately.
UofU Patient October 16, 2015The visit to the hospital was great. No problems at all, in and out fast, good doctors and help. Any body that thinks the service wasn't up to par should look at some of the outlying hospitals like here in Ely Nv. where it takes up to 30 minutes to register, then sent on to a waiting area. The U. of Utah hospital is the best hospital I have ever visited and I have seen some good ones in Minnesota when I lived there.
UofU Patient October 16, 2015I do not feel that we discussed the risks that may be involved with the anticipated surgery.
UofU Patient October 10, 2015Dr. B.Lawrence organization is top notch from top to bottom,starting with Dr. Lawrence MD
UofU Patient October 10, 2015Dr Laurence is a fine gentleman&great surgeon
UofU Patient October 06, 2015Did not have prepared questions answered. Seeking info re: current techniques and technology. Did not feel Lawrences recommendations were geared to my situation. Difficult to get further answers or another appt.
UofU Patient October 03, 2015I ahve already recommended Dr. Lawrence to others who have seen him as well, and will continue to do so anytime I can. I fell he is a pretty awsome doctor.
UofU Patient September 27, 2015Dr. Lawrence was excellent! I wish there was a dot for beyond very good!
UofU Patient September 27, 2015After I made the decision to have surgery, both Dr Lawrence and his assistant said that if i were their mother, they would have recommended this surgery and gave me great confidence that it would be successful.
UofU Patient September 05, 2015Good
UofU Patient September 03, 2015Dr Lawrence is amazing. He was especially empathetic, knowledgeable and exuded confidence that he could successfully fix my problem. I was so grateful I started crying.
UofU Patient August 07, 2015Dr. Lawrence is a miracle worker. He is attentive to his patients and answers questions willingly. the surgery made it possible to be active again. I can't thank him enough.
UofU Patient August 06, 2015i tell everyone I know to go See Dr Lawrence, do I get a box of candy if so, I'll tell them to say who sent them???
UofU Patient July 31, 2015Care provider showed a lack of interest also was not prepared for my visit. Complete lack of respect for patient. Very poor communication skills or concerns for well being.
UofU Patient July 13, 2015Confidence in provider ***** Dr. Lawrece's staff *****
UofU Patient July 07, 2015I recommend U of U Orthopedic Ctr and specifically Drs Lawrence and Montgomery to anyone the conversation comes up with
UofU Patient June 27, 2015ABSOLUTELY, trust Dr. Lawerence, with my health care. The most well qualified M.D. I have ever had. FULL confidence in this Dr. I always recommend him. Jason Motgumery is also the best PA I have ever had.
UofU Patient June 20, 2015Dr Lawrence was referred to me by a friend and I believe him to be the very best in his field.
UofU Patient June 15, 2015Everyone has been tremendous. I've already recommended Dr. Lawrence and the U to several other people with back issues.
UofU Patient June 13, 2015Doctor is very gifted and amazing
UofU Patient May 28, 2015good
UofU Patient May 09, 2015All good
UofU Patient May 02, 2015Dr Lawrence and his training fellow, we're both very through in diagnostic tests. Both were careful to fully explain the procedure recommended and the follow up. The decision was lest to me.
UofU Patient May 01, 2015All great no bad.
UofU Patient April 26, 2015Dr Lawrence was so kind and thoughtful. He had a good since of my emotions and helped me fell comfortable
UofU Patient April 23, 2015Have recommended Dr. Lawrence several times already!
UofU Patient April 22, 2015doctor was concerned about my condition and the pain I'm in.
UofU Patient April 13, 2015After he viewed my mileagram he said looks like you have some bone pinching the nerve, then later he said nothing we can do?????
UofU Patient April 07, 2015I recommend Dr Lawrence and Montgomery to anyone I talk to who has a back pain. They are AWESOME!
UofU Patient March 20, 2015Dr. Lawrence must have assumed that I understood that "stenosis" implied that my condition might have been caused by arthritis. However, I did not know that until I was told that by another medical person much later. It actually relieved my anxiety when I understood that this condition could have been a result of arthritis rather than some unknown incident.
UofU Patient March 19, 2015I'm very pleased with Dr. Lawrence. He's enthusiastic about his work and it shows. Also, he's kind and makes me feel important and well cared for. I'm so grateful to him and his staff for fixing my spine. It's a whole new world even though I'm 71.
UofU Patient March 15, 2015good
UofU Patient March 14, 2015WONDERFUL DOCTOR, KNEW WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY SUFFERING AND DID IT.. FOREVER GRATEFUL.
UofU Patient March 11, 2015I was very nervous, but Dr. Lawrence immediately put me at ease.
UofU Patient March 09, 2015Dr. Lawrence and his staff are great! I am so fortunate to have his professional expertise to help me in a very difficult situation.
UofU Patient March 02, 2015DR LAWRENCE IS EXCELLENT AND GAVE ME AN EXCEPTIONAL AMOUNT OF TIME. EXTREMELY PERSONAL.
UofU Patient March 02, 2015Maybe the provider is as frustrated with my condition as I am but I felt like I was a burden and that the provider just felt I was looking/wanting to have surgery. Surgery is not a decision I take lightly and I feel like we keep ordering test after test with no answer to any options I have since all conservative treatments have failed.
UofU Patient February 28, 2015he really listened. I was laying down and in pain, he pade sure he bent down to my level to talk to me.
UofU Patient February 21, 2015dr Lawrence was referred to me and i would refer him to anyone I know in the future.
UofU Patient February 03, 2015Dr Laurence is very congenial and confident. I feel confident in his care.
UofU Patient January 24, 2015I realized I left a bit unclear as to what the doctor was thinking. What may help with my particular concerns. I felt that my initial complaint was acknowledged, but not really discussed. A possible underlying issue was discussed and orders given, but I am not real sure why. This concerned me a bit as I had just traveled 12 hours each way to get there, arranged lodging, etc. yet, left unclear as to the direction he is thinking. Dr. Lawrence was kind, with good bedside manner, and seemed very knowledgeable. Hope to get more insight soon.
UofU Patient January 21, 2015I have, and will continue to highly recommend Dr Lawrence & Montgomery to anyone I talk to. They are AWESOME!
UofU Patient January 17, 2015I liked Dr. Lawrence very much and I have full confidence in him. I also liked his associate that was in the room and helped with the exam.
UofU Patient January 06, 2015They are THE VERY BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UofU Patient January 03, 2015This was my third back surgery and Dr Lawrence has been the best care provider by far. I will recommend him and the UofU medical center to anyone.
UofU Patient January 01, 2015This doctor completely disregarded my pain, which doesn't make sense as I have NEVER requested pain medication. He spent less than 5 minutes with me and brushed me off. He has no compassion, and only wants to help the patients who will improve his success record. He has no interest in helping the patients who do not have "typical" injuries and may need something other than standard surgery.
UofU Patient December 27, 2014Doctor was very good at explaining my condition
UofU Patient December 15, 2014I appreciated the time Dr. Lawrence spent in explaining my condition and needed surgery. he answered all my questions and took time to listen and explain.
UofU Patient December 12, 2014I have lived more than half of my life in very bad pain. I didn't honestly didn't think anyone could help me. 6 weeks out and I have some pain, but it is nothing compared to the last 10 years! Thank you Dr. Larwence
UofU Patient December 04, 2014Dr's Lawrence and Montgomery are both willing to take the time for me to ask questions and give answers. We have always had a very open discussion of what options there were and they have listened to my concerns and suggestions. THEY TRULY CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS AND HELPING THEM!!!
UofU Patient November 22, 2014Very Good
UofU Patient November 17, 2014I felt like I had a lot of questions that could have been answered along the way to reassure me about the surgery and not wait until right before. This surgery may be done regularly but it is a difficult thing to have done and should be treated that way.
UofU Patient November 16, 2014I felt a little rushed like he had other patients he needed to get to. Luckily, I made sure I had short, specific questions to ask and he answered every one that I and my husband had. He also helped answer some specific questions regarding my particular condition and got me the X-rays I requested before we left.
UofU Patient November 13, 2014Both Dr Lawrence and Dr Montgomery have been very friendly, open, and straight forward about my problems and treatment. I totally trust the two of them and know they are among the best there is anywhere. My back was a total mess & is getting musk closer to GREAT and it is because they had the confidence in themselves that they could help and made me feel confident in them
UofU Patient November 13, 2014The wait time was so long, I feel the doctor didn't have any time to really listen to my questions and concerns. This also happened on my first follow up visit after surgery. This is a total turnaround from my first (pre-surgery) visit.
UofU Patient November 05, 2014Dr. Lawrence was good at providing pros/cons of back surgery--it's a huge step, things may go well or not so well, a long healing process, put it off if you can, etc. It wasn't like he was trying to "sell" his services.
UofU Patient October 27, 2014Excellant
UofU Patient October 26, 2014With regard to question ten, Dr Lawrence is so busy that I don't want to compete with anyone else for an appointment so I won't tell anyone!
UofU Patient October 24, 2014Dr. did not seem to want to determine a way to get me out of pain. I have pain meds but want to be able to not take them. I have been in major pain for 6 weeks.
UofU Patient October 20, 2014great experience. got rid of major pains. enabling me to live on!!
UofU Patient October 20, 2014There was very little contact with Dr Lawrence; he simply came in, asked a couple of questions, gave his opinion and walked out.
UofU Patient October 08, 2014He provided a good discussion about treatment options.
UofU Patient October 04, 2014I found Dr. Lawrence to seem caring and interested in me as a person.
UofU Patient October 01, 2014This was a one-year post-surgical followup visit. There was no discussion of medications.
UofU Patient September 28, 2014excellent results, doctor knew what to do and did it. professional and kind
UofU Patient September 23, 2014I recommend Drs Lawrence and Montgomery to anyone I talk to. Without Dr Lawrence, I would probably be in a wheel chair as Dr Daubs had refused to try to fix my back when it was much less serious than when Dr Lawrence fixed it.
UofU Patient September 17, 2014care was good but obviously I was just another number
UofU Patient September 11, 2014Dr. Lawrence was exceptionally professional, genuine and kind. He expressed sincere interest in my concerns and condition.
UofU Patient September 03, 2014I've recommended Dr. Lawrence and co workers several times. I've had nothing but good care by Dr. Lawrence, Jason Montgomery, and staff.
UofU Patient August 29, 2014no medications.
UofU Patient August 28, 2014good
UofU Patient August 13, 2014I've recommended others to Dr. Lawrence several times over. Just concerned about the rods in my back that keep breaking. surgeries always seem to go well, that's not my concern, it's on down the road that I'm worried about! Don't see why titanium rods break...
UofU Patient August 12, 2014DR. LAWERENCE IS MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UofU Patient August 11, 2014Dr Lawrence, Dr Montgomery, and their entire team are totally AWESOME ! I will continue to recommend them to all I meet and PROUDLY BRAG of ALL they have one to help me!
UofU Patient August 09, 2014The doctor seems highly competent but very busy.
UofU Patient August 08, 2014This is the first time I have seen Dr. Lawrence. Other than this visit I know nothing about him...
UofU Patient August 07, 2014Provider exceeded our expectations. Explained everything very well and addressed our concerns. Did not appear rushed or anxious to move on to another patient. Was friendly and genuine.
UofU Patient August 04, 2014The PA mentioned a steroid multi pak that I forgot to follow up with the doctor as possible medication option.
UofU Patient July 06, 2014excellent caring physician
UofU Patient June 25, 2014I felt the doctor spent a lot of time with me and took time to answer my questions. He explained things using words I could understand. He did not seem rushed to get rid of me as some doctors tend to do.
UofU Patient May 27, 2014Dr. Lawrence was as good as anyone could have asked!
UofU Patient May 26, 2014continues to be the best overall medical experience I have ever had.
UofU Patient May 21, 2014dr lawerence saved my life.
UofU Patient April 11, 2014The physician took the time to discuss a very serious potentially surgical intervention with consideration to my lifestyle and concerns. He spent a substantial amount of time describing suggested procedures and I will definitely recommend to anyone and everyone with potential back problems to be seen by Dr. Lawrence, one of the best I have ever met.
UofU Patient March 13, 2014good
UofU Patient February 21, 2014Excellent Provider!
UofU Patient February 19, 2014Very pleased with Dr. Lawrence and PA
UofU Patient February 17, 2014The numerous times I have visited Dr. Lawrence over the last few months he has always shown concern for my health issues and dedicated more than adequate time for each visit.
UofU Patient February 10, 2014awesome care.
UofU Patient February 07, 2014I have always felt that I have been given the best care in a compassionate manner.
UofU Patient January 16, 2014Best medical experience I've ever had. A wonderful and heartening encounter with a real human being.
UofU Patient December 26, 2013Although the reason for this visit was serious, Dr. Lawrence did an excellent job of gaining my confidence in his abilities and the likelihood of a positive outcome from my upcoming surgery.
UofU Patient December 13, 2013Dr. Lawrence and his team are the best. Always a positive experience.
UofU Patient December 06, 2013At first I was very apprehensive about having the surgery. Hindsight now indicates my worries were unwarranted. I have gained a great deal of confidence in Dr. Lawrence and his staff.
UofU Patient December 06, 2013Doctor lawrence was the nicest and best doctor I've ever been to can't wate to come back
UofU Patient December 04, 2013Dr. Lawrence is friendly, courteous, and communicates well. I would recommend him very highly,
UofU Patient November 18, 2013explained everything remember complications at last surgery was very impressed
UofU Patient November 11, 2013Dr. Lawrence is a great surgeon and a very caring individual.
UofU Patient November 10, 2013My whole experience with Dr. Lawerance and his staff along with medical clinic has been great from start to finish. Thank you.
UofU Patient November 08, 2013I have already recommended Dr Lawrence to anyone I talk to about my surgery and emphasize my confidence in him and his associates
UofU Patient November 04, 2013Dr Lawrence was great. Took time to review X-ray and MRI which was very helpful.The whole visit was positive and felt very comfortable with the long term plan
UofU Patient October 12, 2013Actual time with provider seemed rushed, which caused me to not ask all the questions that I had. His response to the pain question was to "stay active". Now weeks later the pain has not diminished even though I have been active with walking and physical therapy sessions. It would be nice to have input as to the possible length of recovery will be. I realize this is not "time specific" however it would be helpful to have an average estimate.
UofU Patient October 07, 2013I really like the doctor, but I did not like the resident.
UofU Patient October 01, 2013Very considerate and competent care
UofU Patient September 30, 2013Dr. Lawrence was very pleasant and spent all the time with me I needed to be comfortable with my diagnosis.
UofU Patient September 24, 2013I am thankful and very grateful to Dr. Lawrence for his expertise and genuine care and I feel confident that I will have support throughout the rest of my recovery.
UofU Patient September 07, 2013I was seen by all the above except midwife! Dr was there about 5 minutes, but gave a lot of encouragement. First time I have seen him so he wants me to come in 6 months which makes sense.
UofU Patient September 03, 2013med student well informed
UofU Patient August 27, 2013Dr. Lawrence and his team are Absolutely WONDERFUL. I have had 10 surgeries on my back and neck in the past 11 years and I have seen 3 different doctors and I have HUGE respect for all of them, especially Dr. Lawrence. He is a very effective, caring!!!
UofU Patient August 14, 2013he seems to be an excellent surgeon, just an over booked dr. for after care to give each patient the time they need for follow up
UofU Patient August 12, 2013Excellent all around care!
UofU Patient August 06, 2013I was extremely pleased with my visit with Dr Lawrence. All aspects of my visit were superb once I got behind the front desk.
UofU Patient August 02, 2013Awesome man!
UofU Patient July 26, 2013Have already referred someone to Dr. Lawrence. He rocks. Just sad I don't get to see him for a whole entire year! :( But love everyone up there. You're all great!
UofU Patient June 18, 2013I love this man...
UofU Patient June 17, 2013I have had nothing but good care and experiences in this office
UofU Patient June 16, 2013I've placed a lot of trust in Dr. Lawrence, and I'm honestly perfectly comfortable doing so. He's earned my trust through his level of care and genuine concern.
UofU Patient June 12, 2013Decisions re care and next steps were clearly made prior to discussing with me. I continue to find this frustrating considering my professional background and the chronic, degenerative nature of my disease. Better collaboration would be appropriate and appreciated!
UofU Patient June 04, 2013I would have liked to see the xrays and know what he was looking for to know good or bad in my progress.
UofU Patient May 03, 2013Well blessed to have such skillful and intelligent practioners.
UofU Patient April 30, 2013I was impressed with the time Dr. Lawrence spent with me after the difficulties he had earlier that put him behind with the scheduling.
UofU Patient April 24, 2013Many thanks to Doctors Patel and Lawrence
UofU Patient April 22, 2013Dr. Lawrence did an excellent job in explaining that a secondary condition exists that may complicate my condition and any subsequent surgery.
UofU Patient March 19, 2013Dr. Lawrence spent a lot of time explaining my problem and answering my questions, and he did not appear rushed at all.
UofU Patient March 05, 2013It took 2 months to get into the Dr. This is my only concern.
UofU Patient February 25, 2013i already have suggested him to friends and family since my experience.

UofU Patient July 10, 2012How can anyone complain about the best visit to the Doctors office that I have ever had.
UofU Patient June 19, 2012I did not get an answer to my problem, it seemed that the provider was not sure what was causing my pain.
UofU Patient May 12, 2012Since 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.
UofU Patient May 01, 2012Dr. 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.
UofU Patient April 18, 2012Dr. 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.
UofU Patient March 28, 2012We 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.
UofU Patient March 21, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient March 14, 2012The 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.
UofU Patient February 29, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient February 25, 2012Dr Lawrence was excellent.
UofU Patient February 18, 2012Every physician should take a few lessons from Dr. Lawrence .......

UofU Patient January 21, 2012My 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.
