Patient Reviews
May 24, 2024
My husband had severe spinal stenosis that had gotten progressively worse over the years. After doing all that pain management recommended with no relief, he was referred to Dr. Lawson, and ONLY Dr. Lawson, because of his complicated medical history. Dr. Lawson did a successful laminectomy with astounding results. My husband is able to walk again, and his back pain is GREATLY improved 5 months post-surgery. We BOTH have quality of life back! Danielle, Dr. Lawson's assistant, is extremely knowledgeable and helpful as well. We are grateful!
