Dr. Lawler is the most patient, kind, and thorough doctor I've ever had--ophthalmologist or otherwise. Dr. Lawler took time to explain everything to me in detail, and he made sure that I understood what was happening and why. Dr. Lawler even took time out of his personal schedule to follow up with me. He really goes the extra mile for his patients, and I'll enthusiastically recommend him to anyone in need of vision-related care.

Dr. Lawler is very knowledgeable and extremely caring of his patients. I would highly recommend him. However the receptionist needs an attitude adjustment and a personality. She is rude and unfriendly.
