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.

Very much so.
Dr. Lawson, Margaret, Betty, and the rest of the doctor's team were great.

Dr. Lawson is Awsome
Dr. Lawson was extremely personable. He explained everything in a very clear and understandable way. He always responded to my questions and made sure I understood his response. He clearly made me aware of what was ahead of me. And he never rushed me. He took a lot of time to make sure I was as informed as possible. Gave me several informative handouts and the contact numbers of people I can call if needed.I felt so comfortable throughout the appointment. I'm very happy that he is leading my team.

Dr. Lawson has always been very supportive and positive about my condition. His guidance proved to be very accurate and extremely beneficial. Apparently he achieved his goal as we successfully overcame my cancer and things couldn’t being better for me day. His associates including ENT, Cardiologist and PT all speak very highly of him as a doctor and a person.

Lucky Me
My primary care doctor had recommended Dr. Lawson; she said I would really like him, she was right. He is as good a doctor as I have ever had the privilege of using. Just as important is the team of people that surround him, and you. There are people in that building that have cared for me like I was a member of their family. If you are lucky enough to get to go there, you will know what I am talking about. Cancer is hard, but hope is abundant there.
