One of the best doctors of any kind that I have ever consulted, with many decades of doctor visits behind me. He is the best of all regarding my intracranial aneurysm. He is very conscientious and patient-oriented. He went out of his way on my behalf in 2014 and is the best listener you could ask for. I need his services again in 2023, non-urgently, and am hoping to meet with him soon.

He may be knowledgeable, but he's controlling, domineering, interrupts, and has no sympathy.

Dr. Is so rude, uninterested in your health, and lacks empathy. Don't go because you are certain to be disappointed and discouraged!

90 minute wait for appointment. Did not have my info., nor anything about me. Waited 6 month for his staff to get it together with the VA, and yes I am a Retired Military and proud to have served my country. Had diagnosis from 4 Doctors but his aid nothing really wrong! He needs to get his-self together and know what is happening in his business or he will soon not have one.

I met with him 4-5 times before my P.L.U. M. and 3 weeks in to recovery I cant imagine trusting anyone else! He worked 7.5 hours on my procedure, and during those hours he changed my life! Definitely gifted and dedicated. Great staff!

the wait to see him in the office was a little long, but once he was in our room he spent a great deal of time explaining the diagnosis and proposed surgery.

Dr. Lawson is the most intelligent doctor I have ever met! He treated me for pseudotumor cerebri (iih) and put in my vp shunt. He did a wonderful job & was very meticulous with my incisions! I would definitely recommend Dr. Lawson to anyone who is contemplating brain surgery.
