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.

On February 14,I had appointment scheduled to see this doctor for a hospital discharge follow-up. Since he was my PCP, I arrived for the appointment and was told if I did not have all my medication he would not see me. In the past, I used my medication list but the medication had not been pickup from the pharmacy. I was asked if I could run back home to get the medication and I told her no. Therefore, I did not have any medications to bring with me. The person at the front desk started answering phone calls and left me standing there. I started calling for transportation home while standing in cold weather. I am 72 years old and Dr Lawler front desk person was very demeaning and unprofessional. I tried several times to get this doctor to look at my toe turning black. It’s been several medical issues he’s ignored which is scary. Basically, I’ve diagnosing myself all of 2024. Village Medical have doctors that feels older patient have one foot in grave so provide minimal medical services.

Big Difference in being attentive!!!!
I realize a HUGED a difference in this provider’s ability to evaluate a patient in comparison to others. He displayed true professionalism and even though it was my 1st time seeing him because my PCP could not see me I was absolutely AMAZED in his attention to my prior medical history and showed concern and asked questions. He did NOT rush me off for the reason I was schedule for an emergency visit! Honestly, I switched my Primary doctor to be established as Dr. Theodore Lawler Jr! Hands down HUGE difference and I welcome that from any doctor in practice. I definitely would recommend and have!

Not like the other, I changed my PCP to be Dr. Law – Sep 11, 2024

Senior Citizens Conditions
This is the worst primary care doctor and requesting a second opinion for my conditions. I pretty much handle my medical condition such as review my medical records. It is unfortunate he sees mostly Senior Citizens and add conditions to their medical records that does not make sense. I’ve had 3 different specialists to question medical conditions listed on my records. Apparently, Village Medical adds unqualified MDs that could and will cost someone their life. Especially, if that listed condition on their medical records which does not exist.

Today was my 1st time seeing him.His bedside manners are horrible, he does not listen to your concerns. He reviewed my chart and entered the room discussing a medical problem I was not there for, I was pre-judge before he even seen me, he has a problem with people in chronic pain, cool. Wanted 2 test my Thyroid function and migraines. He entered the room telling me about a Psych MD. Never examined nor asked about my symptons, he lefted the room,paid the copay and now I have 2 go 2 an urgent care
