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.

**Review for Dr. Paul Lawrence** ?????? If you're looking for a doctor who embodies the spirit of the 1950s, look no further than Dr. Paul Lawrence! He has perfected the art of making women feel as welcome as a cold shower in winter. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt like I had stepped into a time machine—one that should've been left in the past. His comments were crass, to say the least. It's as if he thought he was on a stand-up comedy tour rather than providing medical care. I half-expected him to pull out a cigar and start telling "jokes" about women that would make even the most seasoned frat bro blush. Seriously, can we get a time-out on the misogyny? It’s 2025, and I'm so over the old white man club that thinks it's their divine right to belittle women and sexualize us with outdated remarks. Newsflash, Dr. Lawrence: women are not props for your amusement. We're here for healthcare, not to be the punchline of your jokes! In conclusion, if you’re in the market for a doctor who treats women with the respect they deserve, I’d suggest looking elsewhere. Unless you enjoy feeling like you’re being assessed by a relic from a bygone era, then by all means, go ahead and book an appointment. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you!

My doctor retired this past year and i was referred to Dr. Lawrence by another physician who said he thought i would really like him. I called and the person i spoke with sounded very friendly at first and said that yes, Dr. Lawrence is accepting new patients just get a copy of my medical records from my doctors office and call back and she'd be glad to set me up an appointment. Before hanging up she asked if i was currently on any medication and i told her that i'm HIV positive and take HIV meds daily...then total silence for awhile...then in a complete opposite tone in her voice said just call when you get your records. When i received my records 2 weeks later, i called and left a message on voicemail that i rec'd my records and need to set up an appointment. I never got a return phone call. I waited a week or two just in case they were busy, then called back and was told that Dr. Lawrence has stopped accepting new patients & my name is not on list of people told would be accepted.

Dr. Lawrence has always taken time after each checkup to consult. He listens to my concerns. I love that the office is electronic. I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Lawrence over the past ten years.

After my family Dr retired I searched for a new one and landed here. University of SC med school and A residency at Duke this guy is sharp. Very professional very smart and his level of care is very good. The nurses follow up same day if you call and the whole staff is good. I'm very happy.

I've been trying for about two weeks to make an appointment. I don't usually go to the Dr. so I don't have a primary care Dr. a friend told me he liked Dr Lawrence. I'm having a few problems and yea I guess it's about time I go talk to someone. Well if this is how I'm treated before I even see the Doc. I'm not one to make an appointment for lets just say 1:00 get there at 12:30 and sit around till 3:00 I do have other things to do with my day. Thanks but no thanks Doc.
