Dr. Mark Lawler, MD

Dr. Lawler explained all the options regarding my hip problem. I decided on a cortisone shot into the hip area, and I have been without pain for the last 2 months. So much better than a surgery. I can’t say enough about what a caring person Dr.Mark Lawler is. Sincerely, Laurel Young

Dr Lawler is a physician’s physician. Personable, compassionate, experienced and kind, he’s everything one could want in a physician. I recommend him highly.

I had PRP injected into my knee and it is better now than it was 10 years ago. I thought that I would need surgery, but the PRP fixed it. I have now been getting injections for my tendinosis in my elbow. Dr. Lawler and his staff are so caring and kind. I am looking forward to similarly successful results.

Dr. Lawler has treated nearly every member of my family. When the 4-year-old broke his collar bone, Dr. Lawler saw us immediately, patiently answered all of my frantic, worried-mama questions, and saw us through to recovery with frequent check-ins and reassurances. When the 12-year-old broke his wrist, Dr. Lawler saw us immediately and then met us at his office ON A SATURDAY to take x-rays and have his amazing staff cast the wrist. He told us exactly where we could pick up a shower sleeve, again patiently answered my bazillion care questions, and realistically set our expectations for heal time. When I blew a lumbar disc, he personally delivered a prescription TO OUR HOME and got us in to see a surgeon in short order. Dr. Lawler makes you feel like you're the most important patient he has. He provides top-notch orthopedic care, with a big heart. He will go out of his way for your health and well-being. If he can't help you, he will find the best possible person who can.

Dr Lawler is AMAZING. He talks to you like a real person, excellent bedside manner. He is very knowledgeable and takes as much time as needed to explain everything. My surgery went perfectly. The after care is outstanding. Everyone in his office is friendly and helpful. I am so glad to of gotten to have him as a doctor.

Dr Lawler is kind, empathetic and clinically excellent. His office staff are friendly, outgoing and efficient. Dr Lawler spent a great deal of time with us and explained what the isue was and the proposed treatment. I could not have been more pleased. Extraordinary orthopedic surgeon

In addition to Marin Sports and Orthopedics, Dr. Lawler is part of the Future Medical Group- the Center for Regenerative Medicine, also in Novato. About 3 months ago I had stem cell injections in 3 joints in an effort to stimulate cartilage growth and prevent the need for surgery in these joints. It takes 2-8 months to fully determine the results of the procedure, but I feel that I got excellent care from Dr. Lawler. The procedure was simple and he is clearly expert at what he does.

Words can't express how amazing this surgeon is. After years of pain and being brushed off by other MD's Dr Lawler took the time to review all my records and to listen. I mean really listen. He came up with a plan and we are working through it. He is incredibly responsive to email, he never ever has made me feel rushed when I am there to see him. He is kind beyond words and truly wants to help. If your looking for a skilled, yet compassionate and kind MD, this is the right doctor for you. I am a

I had arthroscopic knee surgery to clean up a torn meniscus tendon 5 days ago and I have been crutch-free since I got out of the facility! I cannot believe how little pain there has been and I have had no problem sleeping through the night either. Dr. Lawler is kind, funny, professional and explained everything to me so I could understand what was wrong and what would be happening to make it better. And the staff was also very friendly - I would totally recommend him for care!

I had arthroscopic hip surgery to repair a torn labrum eight years ago. I have not had a pain free day since then. When I followed up with the doctor regarding the pain sent me to a pain management doctor and I had no improvement. He concluded he could not help me further. When I returned several years later he did not know why I was still experiencing so much pain and weakness other than to suggest I might have bursitis.
