  • Dr. Lawrence is an exceptional care provider for my medical circumstances. It all starts with his high level of experience, and his strong communication and interpersonal skills. For example, his knowledge of melanoma clinical studies over the past 15 yrs made me realize that he is the best Dr. for me. His understanding of my concerns and address them in a clear and caring manner always built my confidence and provided a measure of relief in my stressful medical journey. Recently, I met a person who was just starting a medical journey similar to my own. This person mentioned that Dr. Lawrence was recommended for his treatment and had not met him yet. It was so easy for me to recommend and state all the reasons why Dr. Lawrence is an exceptional care provider. It goes without saying that the entire melanoma team is also exceptional.
