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.

He’s been my dr for over 20 years. Always takes The time to explain things. Caring and compassionate. I highly recommend him and his practice

Everyone professional, always on time. Very detailed. Listens, which is hard to find in some doctors. Puts you at ease if you have problems. Have been going for years. Have had major surgeries. Excellent facility! Thank you for caring.

2x mom here and I'm expecting my 3rd child in may. I have to speak negative on Dr William Unwin as the last post because he really doesn't care when he services patience (based on my experience) My last visit was on my birthday and he was pushing for me to get a c-section even though I clearly stated to him that I told someone in my first ever visit that I wanted to try VBAC. He kept making smart remarks on what he knows to be right based on other people he delivered. DUDE I am an individual! He

I've been going to Dr. Lawrence for over 10 years since relocating from Chicago. He is excellent. He was with me every step of the way through my third pregnancy and delivered that child via c-section. I've been going to him for my annuals ever since. He is a great listener, caregiver and surgeon and I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Lawrence was wonderful during our stillbirth. He was so gentle and respectful. He delivered our healthy baby boy the following year with the same care and gentleness.

NO, due to the fact that I was not given adequate information in regards to the drug Elmiron. I asked him a total of 3 if there were any possible side effects of using Elmiron and was told no. After experiencing horribly debilitating symptoms and reporting it promptly after seeing on the Elmiron website that these were in fact common symptoms, and speaking with 2 after hours Dr's and his nurses, he didn't respond until 3 hours after I called and told staff I wouldn't be returning to the facility
