Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Dentist, fantastic care!
Dr. Lawson is absolutely fantastic! Just before Christmas I broke a tooth that needed a crown, he and his office was quick to get me in and he made me feel completely at ease throughout my entire appointment. He explained everything clearly, and genuinely seemed to care about my dental health. The staff is also incredibly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Lawson to anyone looking for a top-notch dentist who prioritizes patient comfort.

Great dentist
Dr. Lawson is the combination of being very personable plus very knowledgeable and a great dentist. He has fixed a cracked tooth for me. I had no pain and it was done before I knew it. I have trouble with doing molds-I don’t care for the goopy stuff. He and his assistant were creative in helping me do that without choking. The assistants I’ve had have been very nice and supportive. I definitely recommend and will be going back to him.

His patients are not just numbers to him
Telehealth
Dr Lawson is my dentist and I found out early on that he likes to get to know his patients, we are not just a nameIn an appointment book. The better he knows his patients the more help and guidance he can give them. The atmosphere in his office is very relaxed and if you listen close you may hear some laughter from his office staff. I would recommend Dr Lawson to my family and friends and all others.

They were nice but very persistent on the removal even though I was clearly in a panic and not wanting to do it because the Novocain wasn’t working.
