Dr Lawrenz is the best. Thanks to him and his talent, and the plastics surgery team I can walk on my leg, versus a possible amputation. He's a nice man, gives you all of the information you need. As far as I'm concerned he's miracle worker. Have told anyone who asked when they saw my brace, to seek Vanderbilt for medical treatment.

Dr. Lawrenz always takes time to explain test results, etc. Never makes me feel rushed.
