Providence Patient
It took months to get the appointment for a pulmonology consultation, but Dr. Lawton was worth it. He took the time and effort to review the medical history and its current relevance. He ordered a sleep study test that confirmed untreated moderate to severe apnea and has made a referral for treatment. The apnea was part of the medical history, but it had been left untreated for years, impacting overall health and wellbeing. He actively worked to improve the patient's condition, instead of passing it off.
Providence Patient
Dr. Lawton was excellent. I appreciate his calm demeanor in listening to me.
Providence Patient
Every visit to dr Lawton has been informative and excellent. Would recommend him to any and all for pulmonary care.
Providence Patient
Friendly. To the point. Clear spoken (very important for a person with hearing loss). Efficient, but not rushed. Knowledgeable, but discussions are not buried in medical jargon. Included my wife in all the discussions, also hearing me. And there Is very little "homework " on the internet, to figure out what he was saying. And, he Is willing to actively consider the Impacts of other areas of medicine (heart, vessels, kidneys, nerves, attitude ) A doctor visit I look forward to having, when needed.
Providence Patient
Very nice,knowledgeable,patience. He does care about his patients.
Providence Patient
