Yolanda Lawson, MD

I have been a patient of Doctor Lawson's for more than six months, and have been to the office for both obstetrics and gynecological needs five or six times. She has always been professional, competent, and caring. Though I know the office keeps a busy schedule, she always takes the time to discuss my particular needs with no hint of rushing the appointment. Due to the personal attention, I do typically wait about 15-20 minutes for my appointments. To me, it is a worthy trade-off. When I have needed any type of testing or treatment, she clearly and fully explained the reason for the treatment and the effects. The rest of the staff in the office is always friendly, laid back, and willing to help in any way possible.Dr. Lawson has a partner as well as at least one nurse practitioner available if she is called away unexpectedly to attend a birth or emergency. This occurred during one of my appointments, and the nurse practitioner who saw me was very professional and competent.Probably most impressive: When I expressed an interest in a natural childbirth, Dr. Lawson was extremely supportive. This attitude is uncommon among Ob/Gyns, despite the statistics supporting midwives over doctors for normal births. Not only did she support my choice, but I learned she has just opened a birth center with a highly trained nurse midwife. Overall, I am very confident in my care under Dr. Lawson's supervision, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and competent Ob/Gyn.

After a bad experience with another OBGYN I ended up here. Dr. Lawson was friendly and knowledgeable, and the wait time wasn`t very long. On the other hand, she seemed a little rushed and didn`t

I just wanted to let everyone know that Dr. Lawson is a very knowledgable doctor and is very caring and kind. I have a rare gland disease and she knew exactly what to do about it and what to recommend during my pregnancy. Most doctors have no clue about the disease or how to treat it. I was very impressed with her knowledge and level of professionalism.I searched for a long time to find a Doctor that I was comfortable with and a friendly office environment, I found all of the things I needed at Madewell. I would suggest that any pregnant women that is looking to have a doctor that cares and a staff that treats you with respect and concern...go to Madewell and visit Dr. Lawson. I am sure that after 1 visit you will be convinced.

I have been with Dr. Lawson for four years now and love her. Her staff could use a little of her "TLC", but they have improved.

I've been going to Dr. Lawson since I was 17 (exactly 5 years now). She was my mothers' doctor through the birth of my baby sister and she's always been nothing less than amazing. She's always taken a great interest in me, my personal life and encourages me to stay healthy no matter what. I am totally comfortable with her and her staff and would definitely recommend her to others who prefers a caring spirit.

I had the same issues with the staff. I think that Dr Lawson has to be a great doctor, but if the staff and her are not working together. They are all failures. I had several appts with Dr Lawson and had to wait over an hour for a scheduled appt. I have c

Dr. Lawson is a great doctor, however here staff including the nurse were kinda rude and slow. My appt was 7/15 and i had lab work I never received a call with my results, so I had to call them 20 days later( thats when I finally got intouch with her nurs

I had a flawless pregnancy and felt Dr. Lawson did a great job until the end. I feel she let me down when she went to Hawaii on my 40th week and left me with her horrible partner Dr. Graham. She arrogant, rude, and non-communicative. As a result of her lack of caring our son lost oxygen at birth and NICU spent 18-20 minutes reviving him. He had severe brain damage. Our son looked like someone punched him in the right eye where Graham hit him with a forcep. Dr. Lawson was back from her trip to Hawaii the morning I was in the delivery room. Dr. Lawson knew I was in the delivery room and chose to let Graham perform the delivery. Shame on you Dr. Lawson for not caring. I was YOUR patient! THEY'RE CARELESS, SLOPPY AND NEED THEIR MEDICAL LICENSES REVOKED! Do not let your baby be the next victim. Please read our story and select your OB/GYN wisely. preston.pinsukanjana.com
