I had already heard great reviews about Dr. Lawrence and my experience reflected the same. He took time to explain and recommend the course of treatment and procedure (colonoscopy) and we had a very good two-way discussion about the timing and what made the most sense given my history and his comprehensive understanding of the guidelines. It was great.
