April 9, 2025
Dr. Lawler is a really good doctor, very thorough and works with you to figure out cause, effect, and possible solutions (not just band-aids, pills, and guessing). It's EXTREMELY hard to find a good doctor these days, It's like these school don't have the ability to produce a competent doctor with knowledge, skills, and desire. I've seen so many doctors in my life and Dr Lawler is the 2nd who holds quality care in my view. If you need a doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Lawler, other doctors are such a waste of time, money, and energy. I travel from the south side of Chicago for his competent care and will continue, that hour long drive is worth it.

Took the time to get to know a little about me since I was a first-timer with him. Has a good attitude about getting treatment for "nickel/dime" maladies.
