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.

Dilated my eyes, checked them with instruments, confirmed what my ophthalmologist diagnosed and referred me to another doctor.

We were referred to another physician in the office because I suspect he couldn’t physically do the exam. He is of advanced age and the very intricate process of the exam is no longer in his scope.

Rude and unprofessional
He lied during the exam. He is very old and tremulous. I feared he was going to hurt me bc his hand shook so badly. He doesn’t even do the silting of eyes he has his tech do it bc he can’t due to his tremors. He makes you sit there an extra 10-15 minutes in silence while he completes his charting.

The staff was very courteous and kind . I had no answers about an eye ailment I was suffering from for months and with one visit to Dr. Lawton the mystery was solved. He is very patient, explaining each test he preforms and takes time to explain your diagnosis. I definitely will recommend him to both family and friends……. Awesome!
