    Dr. Lawlor was excellent with our son's circumcision procedure. He acted as a true professional - explaining all aspects of the process all while performing the procedure with us parents in the room.

    Dr. Lawlor is incredibly knowledgeable and has a wonderful bedside manner. He takes his time to not only treat my daughter's issues but went above and beyond asking about any other concerns. We have seen a lot of doctors and he is one of the best. His assistant [redacted] was also terrific in helping schedule the appointment.

    I confidently recommend Dr. Lawlor to any family seeking a dedicated and highly skilled specialist.

  • Reviewed on 5/13/2025

    Was our first visit with Dr Lawlor and he seemed both competent and calm, explaining the history of the procedure we were discussing and his personal feelings about how he prefers one or the other, juxtaposed with the medical communities recommendation. All very helpful and made sense

    Every time we see this provider, he listens to us and without a doubt makes sure we understand everything he's explaining. He's takes his time and makes us feel like we're his only patients on his schedule when we're with him
