Starting with Joann which is the receptionist to the RN's Julie and Maria to the financial coordinator Veronica, to Dr. Lawton then Dr. Melish (anesthesiologist). This group of people are true professionals at heart. Dr. Lawton is a man of few words, however, he is a surgeon that genuinely cares about his patients. My friend referred me to Dr. Lawton and told me not to expect much talking from him and to take his advisement, thus, I prepared myself for little conversation. I was met by Dr. Lawton with a smile and a handshake. He reviewed my assessment form that I filled out and he asked few questions; so I thought this guy is actually listening to me and my desired outcome. He did advise me on size and I went with his advisement, because who am I kidding I am not the expert here, he is, hence that is why I went to him. The day of surgery came, I had informed Dr. Lawton that I have anesthesia awareness (wake-up during surgery), he arranged for Dr. Melish to be the anesthesiologist for my surgery, since he specializes with other equipment to monitor my brain waves; to ensure I don't wake up. I also told Dr. Lawton and Dr. Melish that I have an allergic reaction to anesthesia, so they both were prepared for my allergic reaction. Sure enough I had the allergic reaction and it was severe. I knew it would be bad, but had the confidence in both doctor's and nurses to care for me. They did an excellent job post op. Dr. Melish and Julie were by my side monitoring my breathing etc. I was okay. I want to emphasize that nothing the doctors' did during my surgery caused me to have an allergic reaction; my body does not mix well with anesthesia and it is a risk I take every time I go under anesthesia. Well Dr. Lawton saw me for 6 weeks after my surgery; I had the pleasure of getting to know him and his staff and learned that they are a great bunch of people that care about their patients. I waited to write this review because I wanted to see my results at 3 months and guess what???!!! I LOVE THEM. I am sure they are not settled completely but they are beautiful. Dr. Lawton takes pride in his craft and is a man of few words, but I would rather have him listening than talking any given day. Because he listens, he creates beauty inside and out. My friend is actually having a different procedure with Dr. Lawton in December 2014. My surgery date was 8-19-14.
