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.

100 % great doctor and 100% good man!!
He is a compassionate and caring physician and genuinely interested in you as his patient. I feel like I was treated as well as he would treat a member of his own family. My entire journey was excellent from pre-surgical visits, physical and occupational therapy, pharmacy and nurses. The knee replacement surgery went very well and I had excellent care while I was in recovery. I went home the same day and Dr. Lawrence himself called me that same evening to check on me. My recovery went extremely well. I would and already have recommended Dr. Lawrence to many other people.

Knee Replacements
This is a very comprehensive well run practice starting at the top with Dr Lawrence. All questions and concerns answered with care. Never rushed or made to feel like I was bothering him with unimportant problems. He paid attention! His office staff are the best. They are warm and welcoming. The surgery team anticipates my needs and treats me like a friend not just “the next case.” Visits to the physical therapy department are upbeat and it feels like everyone is on the same page. I’ve recommended Dr Lawrence and his team to family and friends and will continue to do so.

The entire process was thoughtful and well-thought out, from the pre-surgical visits preparing me for the surgery (Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Nursing, Pharmacy), to the same day follow up phone call by Dr. Lawrence himself. I felt completely supported and prepared to have a successful procedure

Two total knees…Grand Canyon here I come!!
Dr. Lawrence is not only the ultimate surgeon with cutting edge technologies who is in a constant state of perfecting protocol and techniques based on the latest data and research (much of which he is at the forefront of gathering and developing) but to make it even more of a patient focused experience, you can feel that he takes time and gives attention to you as a person and your unique goals and questions etc. I simply cannot express my gratitude that he agreed to take me as a patient. His team, his process and his approach is best in class. Worth the drive if that’s something you need to consider. He is improving lives everyday. I’m no longer dreaming of the things I want to do. I’m planning them and DOING them. Forever grateful-

Successful surgery and recovery
My family and I were most pleased and satisfied with the highly professional team that were involved in my two total knee surgeries within 3 months. All were personable, professional, and available for questions and input. I am extremely grateful for the good results and good care I received over these past months. I selected Dr. Lawrence's team due to professional recommendations, continually amazing health quality statistics, and his Apollo methodology for surgical hardware placement. I am content with my newly stable good functioning knees; that I can walk, climb stairs with, and work with. I am able to do exercises and activities that I have not been able to for about ten years.

The entire process of my hip replacement was smooth and easy. From the initial consultation to laying out some requirements that I needed to follow prior to surgery to the day of, and the post op visits. The entire staff made my first surgery at 48 years old go seamlessly.

Excellent Surgeon
As a retired healthcare professional, I can say with confidence that Dr. Lawrence is a consummate professional, compassionate, thorough in this answering of questions, and has a wonderful sense of humor. His multi-disciplinary team also display the same compassion and professionalism. I researched surgeons in my geographic area for my knee replacement surgery. Having heard positive feedback on his surgery skill from family, I drove three hours for my initial visit. At this visit, there was no question that Dr. Lawrence would be my surgeon. I am three months post-op and doing very well. Thanks Dr. Lawrence and team!

Great Experience
I can't say enough about how positive my experience with Dr. Lawrence was. All aspects of my total knee replacement, including the pre-op regimen appointments, OT & PT exercises, surgery prep, procedure itself, and post-surgical follow-up, were positive. I highly recommend Dr. Lawrence to my friends and several of them have gone to Dr. Lawrence for their joint replacements.
