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.

Dr. Lawhon is my OBGYN and delivered my little girl on September 29, 2020. He was so knowledgeable and caring throughout my entire pregnancy. I started having some bp issues at the end and symptoms of pre-eclampsia...which made me nervous and he could tell. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "You are going to be fine. I am not going to let anything happen to you or your baby." And gave me a hug after he said it. I knew he meant it. Also, I got into a car accident when I was 34 weeks pregnant. I went to the ER, but when I went to my appointment the following week, he asked for an ultrasound (I wasn't scheduled) and he actually sat in the room and looked at the screen to make sure my baby was okay. (As you know, doctors do not sit in the room for an ultrasound.) I can't say enough good things about Dr. Lawhon. If you are in need of an OB, please consider him. He will treat you right and you won't regret having him in your corner!

Dr. Lawhon is the best OB/GYN on earth. He delivered my brother and sister in 2010 and 2013, and he recently delivered my first child on July 27th. Dr. Lawhon is a very caring individual who cares about the well being of not his patients but the child as well. He’s very informative and understanding. He answers all of your questions and makes sure that you have a good understanding of things before you leave the office. I would recommend anyone to him. He’s great.

Each time I see Dr. Lawhon I am impressed by his enthusiasm for what he does. He is brilliant, but always explains everything so it is clear and understandable. He is happy to answer my questions and never makes me feel rushed. Dr. Lawhon is the most caring doctor I have ever had and I will continue to see him for as long as he remains in practice.
