    Dr. Lawlor has been extremely patient and kind during our visits. We appreciate his timeliness, expertise, and empathy when we have seen him. He is open to discussion and explains very well.

    We went in for our second son's circumcision. He is very precise and efficient. He talked us through the whole procedure. You want that kind of thing with a procedure such as this. It was over very quick and he explained all post care, medications, and any negative healing side effects to look out for. He's very kind and keeps us chatting the whole time.

    Doctor was nice but pushed surgical procedure which I did not want as the first attempt to fix the issue.

    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.
