Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

If you value human decency DO NOT GO!
His front staff is appalling to the patients! Rude in every sense of the word! If this was even a vets office I wouldn’t allow an animal to be treated in such a foul manner. Dr. Lawlor is completely aware of these interactions and apparently with this lack of change or repercussions he approves. If you no longer care how your staff is treating YOUR patients, maybe it’s time to throw in the towel and retire! Save yourself the time and aggravation and DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR!

Very likely
I tell everyone I know that he and his staff are awesome and very knowledgeable and supportive. He never ends an appointment without asking if there is anything else he can help you with. He is informed and up to date on medical issues. My husband and I absolutely love him and all his staff.

Dr. Lawlor is friendly, kind, caring and thorough. I've never felt rushed ; he always takes his time with me. The nurses, lab tech and front office staff are all friendly and efficient. I really appreciate the excellent health care I receive at this practice.

I have been going to Dr. Lawlor for several years now. I feel he is very competent. He always asks if there is any other concerns before he leaves the room. He is usually on schedule. Would highly recommend him.

Two staff who sit at the counter in the back, one of which takes patients back and documents symptoms but I believe they both do, behaved unprofessionally toward me as I passed by where they sit. Dr. Lawlor was in the vicinity when it happened but I can’t say whether he observed the event or not. There’s something wrong with this practice where such odd, childish behavior could happen to anyone. I'm now looking for another provider where all staff treat patients with dignity and respect.

Unfortunately, my family member, who is a long time patient of Dr. Lawlor has not received adequate medical care. Some major symptoms were ignored and a stroke went undiagnosed.

I can't imagine anyone finding fault with Dr. Lawlor, or his staff. He is a very caring and complete in his exams and questions about why you are there. He has been my doctor for a long time and cared for my mother through her dementia. I can't imagine finding a better, more involved doctor. I have never had a problem with any of his staff either. I love Jill the nurse practitioner also.

Dr,Lawlor is my father's doctor, the doctor was very good and asked appropriate questions. His nursing staff especially Paula and Tiffany are rude and extremely disrespectful. I have worked in the health care field for almost 10 years and have never seen a nurse talk to a patient so disrespectfully not to mention them telling me they didn't have time to deal with me. This treatment is unacceptable and needs to change.

Dr. Lawlor is wonderful! He takes extra time and listens to ALL of my problems (when other doctors wouldn't.) He always asks if there is anything else I want to discuss, even if I'm seeing him for a sinus infection. He caught my mother's cancer when it was still treatable - I credit him for saving her life! Highly recommend.

Very rushed and impatient. I suffer from Renal Artery Stenosis, which results in uncontrollable high blood pressure. Dr. Lawlor just assumed I wasn't taking my meds, never even considered other possibilities. He also failed to diagnose a Cerebral Aneurysm, a huge mass in my neck, and a 44mm tumor on my left kidney. I was treated like a drug seeker by him from almost the 1st day I saw him.
