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.

Amazing Doctor and Staff.
Incredible! Dr. Lawinski, & every staff member have provided life changing care for me and I am sure many others. It is such a releif in todays medical system to find an office filled with such compassionate listeners. The services offered here a witre aligned with a more holistic and powerful view of health, and have been extremly effective for me in curbing the decade long trends I have had around insomnia and chronic pain. I fly to the Big Island specifically to visit this office & it is beyond worth it everytime, I would not have the quality of life I have today without these visits.

19 years of chronic inflammatory bowel disease, 17 years of mysterious joint inflammation, Dozens of doctors (including top notch university hospital specialists in NJ)- the results: I got worse every year. Through most of 2021 I needed help dressing, getting on & off the toilet, showering because both knees, ankles, and feet were so swollen I literally couldn't wear my normal clothes & shoes. I'm a healthy weight and 35 y/o. There was no reason I should have been that sick. I happen to meet Dr. Lawinski when getting my 329 card as marijuana was the only thing that helped my stomach concerns even though I don't like being high. I was sure this doctor couldn't help me but when he said he might be able to help I made an appointment for my chronic health issues. Three months after starting work with Dr. Lawinski I have zero joint pain, no diarrhea. I can do all the normal things like play on the playground with my kids, go on a walk, take care of myself & my house. I'm forever grateful

Doc went into careful detail about the full spectrum symptoms of my internal body - He gave me explanations I was looking for and is using blood tests to check for things that I have wrongly told by traditional doctors! Amazing experience!

I made my first appointments with Dr. Lawinski, because going to LA for ketamine treatments was so difficult due to covid. It was also exhausting due to a long flight from Honolulu. There were docs in Honolulu who provided treatments, but it was obvious that their only incentive was $$$. The charge at Queens Hospital was the highest in the entire country!! 1200. dollars per treatment. In Dr. Lawinski and his staff, I found a team committed to helping patients like myself, with severe clinical depression, ( as well as PTSD, ETC.), return to wellness. They also had a real understanding of the medication, as well as knowing that every patient responded differently. This was not a "cookie cutter" approach, like at many ketamine clinics. I have had 6 treatments to date and am no longer plagued by suicidal ideation. It is wonderful to be able to sleep again, and resume activities I once enjoyed. I am ready to return to his office again, the moment I notice a change in my mood. jane mastro

I have being helped by Dr. Chris for several years now with detoxing my entire body and all systems within the body. My results thus far have been completely unbelievable. He is an amazing physician and healing doctor vs a doctor who just hands out prescriptions. He has completely changed my life, my health, my mental and emotional well being all by his remarkable homeopathic protocols for detox and healing. Im so very Thankful for Doctor Christopher Lawinski, MY Primary Care Physician.

Dr Lawinski spent a lot of time with me during my initial visit. I am well, but we spent a great deal of time discussing ways to keep me that way. He really seemed to care about my wellness. That's a real pleasure in this day of insurance quotas and assembly line doctor visits.

I initially visited the doctors office for chelation detox therapy. At that time, Dr. Lawinski also looked at the results of my blood tests. One test was alarming, as I had a higher than normal CEA level of a blood test. High CEA (11.7 and average range is 0 - 3.8) This could be indicative of cancer. He gave me advice and literature on fasting and since then, I decided to seriously start eating better, and do daily intermittant fasting, (Sometimes I break my fasting schedule, but the continue the daily 18 hour fast the next day. To make a long story short, yesterday I learned the results of recent blood tests from my annual check-up, and all tests are now normal, incuding the CEA test! This is just 5 month later! I think that my body was able to cure itself, thanks to self-discipline to maintain intermittent fasting, and mostly to the good advice from Dr. Lawinski.
