Reviews for David Lawrence, MD, FAAP

Very detailed assessment and took extra time to discuss/educate on my child’s needs.

Dr Lawrence always listens to any and all concerns then gives informative feedback. I never worry if my kids are getting good care because I know they're getting the best of care by the nursing staff and their doctor.

The visit was great. Just like any other visit that I have had, the doctor is excellent and answers any question that I have. I'm very comfortable with him being my child doctor.

Dr. Lawrence always takes the time to listen to my concerns about my son and is thorough in his examination. He doesn't hesitate to send his patients for additional testing if he feels it is necessary. He is an awesome Pediatrician

It's always great, Dr Lawrence is very good at what he does and has been doing well for my family..great doctor

Dr. Lawrence checks all the boxes for a good pediatrician. He makes sure your little ones get the best care and does a great job monitoring development.

Had to see Dr. Lawrence for a follow-up visit and my son had the flu and an ear infection. Dr. Lawrence always gives time in order to listen to our concerns for our son. He reassured us to finish out the medication doses prescribed for Kaden and scheduled another follow up to discuss my son's ear infection issues.

My last visit was much the same as every visit with Dr Lawrence in the last 20 years. I knew him as my own pediatrician and now my children and my nieces all see him as their primary care provider. He has always listened to any and all concerns I've had. He gives me his honest opinion on medical and personal problems. I wouldn't take my children to anyone else.

THE WAIT TIMES ARE EXCESSIVE, I HAVE NOTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT DR BUT MY TIME IS VALUABLE AND I AM A BUSY MOTHER, IF MY APPOINTMENT IS AT 2PM I EXPECT TO BE SEEN RESPECTIVELY AT THAT TIME. WAITING EXTENDS TO ONCE CALLED TO BACK ALSO. 2 TO 3 HOURS WAIT FOR A 20 MINUTE VISIT. I UNDERSTAND IF THEY GET PAID BY THE HOUR BUT MY TIME IS EQUALLY VALUABLE.

Attentive, caring, friendly, and willing to listen!
