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.

Best GI doc in the area!!

Customer service issues
Excellent practitioner but the practice leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to the handling of customer service. Had a bad experience with a staff member who was totally unprofessional and rude. Regretfully, Dr. Lawrence would not listen to both sides of the situation which leaves me in doubt of returning to this practice.

Great Doctor Knowledgeable and Professional
I had two really good experiences for procedures with Dr. Lawrence. Dr. Lawrence is very through, knowledgeable, professional and personable. He devotes attention to his patients, listens and answered all my questions. His staff is equally professional and attentive. I would highly recommend Dr. Lawrence and his practice.

Dr. Lawrence and his entire staff were first class from the moment I walked into their offices until the minute I left after my procedure. They were helpful and compassionate and I can honestly say that I have never had a better medical experience.
