Matthew W. Lawless, MD

Got me on fast when I was hurting. Pain subsided

Completely satisfied!

I came in with a complex tear of my Medina meniscus. I recently had an MRI and was referred to go see an orthopedic doctor. When I came, I was told they didn't have my MRI scans so if they needed them, I would need to come and bring them to them. Was never told to bring them, so I said okay. In the next 10-15 of my appt, I feel belittled, stupid and fluffed off. He said he didn't even have my scans to look at what was wrong. (So how can you give me professional advice without seeing what was wrong and having all the information) Pretty much was told, that my pain really wasn't there, that I should never have listen to the ER doc instructions, my own doc instructions of not putting pressure on it, not to drive and to wear a full leg braces. That there instructions was stupid. Was told to lose weight and work through the pain. There was no how are things going, what are you able to do, what are you trying to do, etc I was told not to use my knee as my CB as possible to after a month I was very stiff and he made me feel like that was my fault for not feeling better. They took one look at me and made a judgement. I left in tears thinking I was a fat cow who wasted time and that no one cares and I must be the crazy one who has turned my life upside down along with my family. I have never felt that way before and it literally broke me. I am ready for physically therapy...ready to feel better but was afraid to try on my own in case I hurt it more. I am reaching out to my own doc and thinking about getting a second opinion. It's already hard for me to trust doctors and feel comfortable me around them...so I'm debating if I want to even get a second opinion. I don't want to and can't emotionally take another doc treating that way. I never want to see this man or go to his office ever again!

I felt very knowledgeable and confident with the physician's skill level, his method of communicating the steps of the intricate surgery, the upcoming procedural expectations and the competence of his office staff.

The Resident was willing to Talk with me; Doctor L. was less willing so I ceased asking him questions even though I am making slow, to no, progress despite 5 months (20 hours) of physical therapy. It was a disappointing consultation.

Great experience with everyone from the reception area to the nurse to the resident to the doctor!

Dr. Lawless is the best.

Very pleased and satisfied.

nice office, nice surgeon

Dr Lawless was very attentive and helpful. He explained his diagnosis and treatment options very thoroughly.

Positive

Dr. Lawless never makes the patient feel rushed. He answers all questions. He was also very kind about a difficult family situation impacting my care situation.

Dr and staff were amazing!

I liked Dr Lawless and has he explained things directly and succintly; gave me exercises I can do on my own.

Overall, a very great first appointment. We solved my knee issue, for the time being. Friendly, knowledgeable staff!

Staff and Physicians was wonderful. I felt so welcomed.

Friendly, courteous and clean. I was greeted with a smile which will help a person feel comfortable with their experience.

I like everyone at the facility. They are very nice. Dr. Lawless is so kind.

Dr. Lawless and staff are super professional, friendly and very responsive.

Dr. Lawless is an angel. He's so wonderful and Im just so appreciative of his God gift skills.

Dr. Lawless is very kind, professional and informative

I might have to drive over hour to the facility, but it Worth every moment.

Thanks Dr Lawless I know I'm always asking you to fix me and you do. ?

I've had two knee replacements done, and I totally trust the staff and doctors. Not thrilled about having my left knee replaced after just over 1 year, but I understand stuff happens, and I trust Dr. Lawless to make it right.

Very courteous staff and I was in and out in a reasonable period of time. My health issue was discussed and procedure performed to my satisfaction.

Was a very pleasant visit

Dr Lawless and his staff are absolutely wonderful. Sandy is especially pleasant. This Dr and his staff are the best example of how medical professionals should be. A 10 is not high enough in my opinion. I am very very happy with all of them!!

I would highly recommend Dr. Lawless. He did a complete knee replacement. He agreed to do even though I already had it done two years ago. He has excellent bed side manners. He was a great choice.

Dr Lawless is awesome!

Dr Lawless and his staff are amazing.

I would have liked the physician to actually review my MRI image and radiology report with me. Also, it took weeks to get the MRI and then back in to see the physician. As a result, my condition had changed/resolved in its own to a large degree. Sooner appointment for MRI and follow up with physician would have helped. Because I had no feeedback I remained totally inactive longer than was necessary or ideal.

Dr. Lawless listened to how I was injured and was observing my gait from the moment he walked in. He explained what he was doing and why, and also explained the results of the x-ray in detail. I was extremely happy with how he explained what exercises I should do and why they would help. I would recommend Dr. Lawless.

I am thankful for everyone and I wouldn't want to see any other Orthopedic Doctor. Thank you.

Friendly and professional staff

Grand - in and out, short wait and kind staff.

Fair not so helpful The provider shows indifference to patient and doesn't talk to patients with humble and dignity

I was impressed with the time I got there and time they called me back. My appointment was at 10:40 I arrived before the time allotted for me. I was treated very soon after that time. and was leaving at 11:25 all done.

I was very pleased . Only negative us I called and left a message about pain medication . No one ever called me back .

Overall, a most pleasant experience, considering the particular circumstances that were occuring. I fully intend to continue using this doctor and the staff as they were exceptionally helpful with attempting to help this old guy understand what was going on and what should be done to deal with the situation.

Doctor Lawless did an outstanding job. Im very happy after 3 weeks, top notch health care.

I feel very comfortable with Dr. Lawless. Easy to talk to. Explains everything. Gives a great injection. Didn't even feel it.

Appointment time was right on schedule. I appreciate not having to wait!

Dr. Lawless is an amazing doctor. He encourages you oh what to do to make things better for yourself... He's an overall amazing doctor

Awesome people .

I always trust Dr. Lawless' diagnosis and opinions. I don't even live in the area anymore, but made sure to schedule an appt w/him while in town for the holidays so I could get a better understanding of what's going on with my knee.

Dr. Lawless really listened to me. He addressed all of my issues. I really feel very confident in the decision of choosing him.

Good job

Whoever I saw first was kind and explained a lot, but Lawless did not. He said I had a "click in my knee" (didn't explain that at all) and told me to do the exact opposite of the guy before and the people at urgent care. I was told by his colleague and urgent care I had a torn meniscus and to avoid doing what lawless told me to do. He also was laughing my whole visit? Not sure what that was about. Just didn't seem to take anything seriously and felt like he did not believe me. Getting a second opinion for sure

It was great, everyone I came in contact with was very professional and eager to make sure I receive the right care.

Always on time. Clear and helpful explanations

Everybody in the office is very nice and helpful

spent quality time with us and explained everything that we could understand

I had knee injections for arthritis and the pain is gone! We talked about a range of options for treating my arthritis and the shots were a good start. I had lots of questions and all were adequately answered.

The employees that I was involved with were very professional about there job.They made me feel very comfortable

I was out of town and had to make appointment a bit later than I wanted, however, I was treated with enough time to get good results before I leave on my next trip.

Thank you

Everything went well.

Dr. Lawless was very nice and concern about my problem. He was excellent.

Dr lawless and his staff are the best. I would never go anywhere else and always recommend him to family and friends

Dr Lawless is the best. I recommend him to all my friends with knee issues.

Dr. Lawless is the best. He has helped me to keep myself active for a long time. I am very grateful for him.

Doctor Lawless and his staff are exceptional they are friendly and very knowledgeable. Doctor Lawless listens to me and recommended a good course of action.

Great experience and surgical outcome

Could not have been better.

Very nice staff

I was being told that I had a spraing knee it could take up to a year to heel. Then I needed to go back where I went the first time because something did not feel right. Xray, CTScan, now I have a fracture Tibia. I made appt.with Dr. Lawless thank God I did. I just have arthritis flareup that's it. Nothing is broken. God Bless Dr. Lawless, I just love him. He is a wonderful Doctor at what he does and I trust him.

Very nice and understanding

A very helpful staff. Doctor was very informative about what I need to do myself to get my knee back to normal. Most importantly the office was very efficient at getting me seen and on my way.

Very thorough about treatment and options.

Thankful for the quick appointment and service that was received.

Entire experience was professional courteous informative. Top notch!!

Always have a great experience in this office. Everyone is nice from providers to x-ray tech to receptionist

this was my 3rd visit, and each time I've been completely satisfied with the care I've received

I would recommend anyone to Premier Orthopedics. Matt was very professional. He is always caring, respectful and honest. I am very comfortable when asking questions and receiving any feedback that he may offer. I feel very confident with the care that i am receiving from Matt. Looking forward to physical therapy with the help and positive results that i may receive just by talking to Matt. He is inspiring and very motivational.

We left not knowing what will happen next after blood work.And when am I suppose to go back.

As always, all with whom we came into contact were kind and helpful.

All went smoothly.

The doctors and staff were very friendly. The doctors were clear on their diagnosis and treatment. I was impressed.

Wonderful, friendly staff and highly knowledgeable and caring intern and doctor. Beautiful facility.

Dr. Lawless is a very kind, man, professional and knowledgeable. I trust what he tells me.

Everyone was very kind and caring.

Dr Lawless listened and provided a shot for my right knee. The other Orthopedic person I spoke to ignored the fact that I had pain for the past 2-3 years and did not offer any relief for my knee.

Great Job by ALL THANKS

Very kind, professional and answered all my questions. Prompt attention with NO wait time!

Dr. Lawless listened carefully to my concerns and reviewed both surgical and conservative options for my issues. He reviewed the results of the imaging tests and explained what to expect. I was very pleased that we discussed all treatment options, not just surgery.

Friendly and felt comfortable with the decisions made about my health.

I'm grateful to have Dr. Lawless as my orthopedic surgeon. His staff is as conscientious as he is.

Prompt, very knowledgeable, provided best solution on my time. I felt very comfortable with Dr Lawless and his staff.

i enjoy going to a well run office

Great experience, treatment was explained and initiated and I appreciate being able to begin with some rather simple remedies. The resident did an EXCELLENT job of explaining my condition and it was reinforced by Dr. Lawless.

I had a very good visit. Everyone was friendly and professional. Dr. Lawless took the time to listen to me and gave excellent recommendations. I had an office visit, Imaging and treatment all in one visit.

So far everything is fine

Seen on time. Friendly but professional and efficient. Treatment offered has been effective (thus far) and in line with my expectations. Osteoarthritis, although not fun, was a better diagnosis than what I had feared (not wanting surgery, if possible).

Dr. Lawless and his staff were able to see me very quickly and the results have made a major difference in my comfort level.Thank you very much.

I had a wonderful experience

Was beside myself that no one notified me that the X-ray showed 2 broken screws in my thigh ! I found them later at home in my chart Was very disappointed No mention or direction given

I do believe that when several doctors have worked on the same patient with different issues they should both be aware of how they are related and also this would help with the patient (person) who is dealing with issues. This doctor is great.....another doctor not so much....

Very nice, explained everything to me. Took his time to make sure I knew what I needed to do

Failed to remind me avoid strenuous activity for 24 to 48 hours after shot.

Have recommended to others! ?

Always friendly and professional

My appointment was almost three weeks from when I called in, but with summer vacations and busy work schedules ,maybe it was longer to see this surgeon. When I went to my appointment I was pleased with their concern ,time and attentiveness to my problem.

Always on time

i found everyone to be friendly

The doctor was cordial spoke very rapidly and concisely-seemed in a rush

Good experience

I was early 45 minutes. Not an issue.

Been going there for years. Always in and out in a timely manner. Great staff, very kind and attentive to my needs.

Dr Lawless is kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable. I appreciate his kind attention and understanding of my goals

Tremendous professionalism and a great experience

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Lawless and his staff.

good guy

Just wish the Orthopedic Center was not so far from the parking lot. It's a long way to walk on a bad knee!

the Resident was good too!

He had everything decided when he came in. without even talking to me or doing an exam. I usually get good Doctors their. but I think I will be looking else-wear next time.

He helped me more than any other orthopedic doctor has before. I'm so appreciative.

I recommend Dr Lawless and staff constantly to friends and family. All are amazing.

Excellent caring team!

Everyone was friendly and courteous and wait time was minimal.

I have been to this Dr. twice, and I am very happy with everybody who works there

1 year after TKR - things are looking good

Was treated with respect. All questions answered

Great and caring group a of people!!!!

I would recommend your office to anyone that needs your services. Thank you for the time and excellence you provided for me.

It was a very positive expedience with Dr. Lawless.

The staff is always polite and most efficient.

I was told to move around and work my knee but I hurt it again

Dr Lawless is an excellent surgeon who perform my knee replacements with the highest degree of professionalism. I was fortunate to have him as my surgeon.

Great friendly people.

Dr. Lawless told me the surgery suggested by another surgeon would not benefit me due to the type of injury I had. Instead he gave me an injection and a script for PT. Saved me from an unnecessary surgery. Appreciate his ethical considerations and openness during our discussions.

Wonderful doctor.

Great experience. Arrived early and was still seen as soon as I got there. Very friendly and listened to what I said

The best experience always!

Always on time.

Dr.Lawless is the best!

Very respectful and good communication.

Found Dr. Lawless and his staff to be excellent!

Always polite and caring

The experience was better than I expected, scheduling appointments & surgery was very expedient & the Dr.& staff was very accommodating

Very courteousand knowledgeable. Friendly from the word go. Very cool doctor!

The parking lot NEEDS IMPROVEMENT & Expansion. There was much difficulty in finding a place to park not to mention the extensive walk . I feel the physician and office did a great deal except I would like to have been given the opportunity to view the multiple X-ray taken and provided a print out or office visit with diagnosis etc.
