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.

One year ago, I had a terrible fall in my home. Dr. Lawson was up to the challenges I faced over the months ahead of me. He listened to any concerns, and I followed his advice. I continue my physical exercises, but they are done at home now, and on 3/18 I DROVE MYSELF to my appointment! Next visit: "See you in one year". Thank you, Dr. Lawson.

I am very favorably impressed by Dr. Joshua Lawson. He completely resolved my issues with strained quadrecepts. He is very professional: expert, concise, congenial. I should have gone to see him sooner.

I was blessed to have Dr Lawson as my Orthopedic Surgeon. I had severe arthritis of my hip with much pain and loss of function . Dr Lawson did my total hip replacement. He is very up to date on surgical techniques that are least invasive. I am very pleased with my new hip , sleeping well at night and walking without pain . Dr Lawson is kind and caring , skillful , and knowledgeable. I would choose Dr Lawson as my surgeon .
