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.

Carried grandson for a checkup. Everyone was very helpful. Would recommend to anyone

Fantastic surgeon!
Fantastic surgeon for a child's knee surgery. Dr. Lawley took into account the growth plates of my child and took time to suture, leaving the prettiest and cleanest knee scar I've ever seen. Highly, highly recommend!

Completely Dismissive
He was funny for the children, but he completely dismissed all issues. He did not review the xrays prior to entering the room. We were never shown the xrays. It was rushed. It felt as if we were being pushed out of the room with a bandaid for our ridiculous booboo that we should have never bothered him with. They did not care enough to even schedule a follow up to see if his advice worked or if there were still isssues.

Great Ortho!
Dr. Lawley has always been excellent for us! He understands my son's condition as it relates to his field and gives sound advice. He always explains everything and really takes the time to understand the issue and provide the best advice. I would recommend him to anyone with a child that has a need for an Ortho. He's the best in the area!

Child with scoliosis
Dr. Lawley is hands down amazing with my 10 yr old little girl. We was so discouraged facing a case of scoliosis that led us to a brace and he stepped up and made everything a wonderful experience along with great treatment and is there every step of the way. He has given us such a positive outlook on things. I’m so glad we are under his treatment. We could have not ask for better!

Dr. Lawley was great. He explained my daughter's xray results and diagnosis in layperson's terms to us. He was personable and efficient. I felt that he took the time necessary to explain things to us. I would definitely recommend him!

Compassionate & caring
He's a good listener when it came to our concerns and questions. I went in knowing what could happen and wanted clarification on what that looks like and how it would impact healing.
