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.

Awesome. Best health care professional I've ever had the pleasure of seeing.

Gifted Practitioner
Tom listens to his patients. He explains in detail patient concerns and makes excellent suggestions to resolve issues. He takes time with patients. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant. It is rare to find someone like him. You feel heard and armed with solutions when you leave him. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Tom is great!!!
I've seen Tom several times and each visit was great. He is very knowledgeable and gets right to the root of problems. I appreciate his mannerism - he is approachable and kind. Once, he even came to my place of work to look after me - such an awesome thing. I am a big fan.

Be sure to ask detailed questions about your condition. I had made many assumptions that were note accurate. The provider gave me very clear instructions on how to properly help the healing process.

Rush visit for weekend right knee MCL and Hamstring injury. On line request on Sunday and seen by 1Pm Tuesday so happy about that. Got X-ray and good advice to handle with no feelings of being rushed. Great previous experience with Tom on both B/4 and after total left knee replacement with Dr. Lescault. Very highly recommend them both! Absolutely no problems or negative experiences with Emerge Ortho over past years!

Leg was giving trouble 7 weeks after right knee replacement. SI Joint appears to be inflamed. Got a shot in the hip that is helping some the next day. Tom is a little brutal in his assessment of my progress after surgery but he appears to know what he is doing.

I was very impressed with Tom Lawson. Some x-rays were taken at first, but it was difficult to determine exactly where the problem was between my elbow and my shoulder so he suggested we take another x-ray of my elbow, it had three fractures which had healed properly, but I still could not lift my right arm high enough to come my hair. He diagnosed the problem as bicep tendinitis and offered a Cortizone shot as well as topical creams. I chose the Cortizone shot because he explained that there should be little degeneration Of boneAnd the problem was not resolved after four weeks. I must say that he is very thoughtful and thorough in his examination. Appreciate his care very much. Thank you Tom

I appreciated the professionalism of all the staff I encountered. Mr Lawson took time to answer my questions and provided options that allowed me to choose invasive (joint injections) or conservative treatment. I left with answers and a feeling of being in control of my own health!
