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 Doctor.
Dr Lawler has delivered 3 of my babies and soon to be 4th. He is the only physician I trust wholeheartedly. His knowledge and experience keep him level headed and calm in moments where one could panic. He doesn’t. He’s never strayed me to undergo unnecessary testing like many other in the field may have. His practices share our same beliefs and we couldn’t be more appreciative of his wholesome, caring, and righteous nature. Best doctor ever. If he could be my primary too I would be ecstatic! Thank you for all you do Dr Lawler. God Bless you.

Dr Lawler great front desk staff need improvement
Dr. Lawler is excellent and we have had a great experience with him so far. It is unfortunate that there have been several mixups with the front desk staff, including scheduling and excessive waiting times during our appointments. We hope this can be improved so we can have efficient organized visits start to finish. Thank you.

Been seeing him for years
I have been a patient of Dr. Lawler for many years! I have seen him through many transformations of offices and staff. He is very understanding, always listens to your issues and what you would like and treats you like one of his own family members. It’s also reassuring that he is so open to life and does not promote hormonal birth control. He is the only OB in Chicagoland area who is like this. He truly follows the teaching of the Catholic Church and what God’s plan for us is. I was sad to see him have to leave his private practice during covid and join another team but he still preaches and teaches the same.

The visit was rushed. Dr. Lawyer did not address any of my concerns so I stopped explaining. I just wanted my appointment to be over. Left the office feeling worse than when I arrived. It is not a good feeling to have to pay for a visit & gain no knowledge of the reason I’m sick everyday during my pregnancy & having sudden weight loss. Staff not helpful as well. As a first time patient it would have been nice to at the least have been greeted.

Worst doctor and office experience I’ve ever encountered in my life. They have no nurse on staff ( or at least they didn’t the day I was there) the office administrator seems to be doing it all and not doing a good job at that. Extremely unorganized and unprofessional. As a first time mother I warn all new mothers or reoccurring mothers to not use this doctor or his “practice” you will not be well cared for or taken care of.

Absolutely the worst doctor I have used in my adult life! After having slightly high bp during an appointment, I was told to monitor it at home, but during appointments the doctor didn’t even check it! They never actually check to make sure there is no protein in your urine, and their fax machine/printer seems to always be down. I switched to a new doctor because I wouldn’t dare let this guy deliver my baby. My husband hand delivered my release forms and the office delayed sending my records (t
