Hi. You need to know about Dr. Chris. During COVID-19, my particular ailment creates a lot of stress in my life if I am unable to get the medicine I need. Dr. Chris was very compassionate and structured a way for me to relieve the stress and assure me my medicine was available. He's also very keen on testing and making sure the right problem is being address at the source. Tell Dr. Chris I said hi when you see him. - Rick

One of the only MDs around this area who can do translational medicine and think outside the box. He saved my life in Dec 2018 and at other times too. One treatment he gave me was like 300hrs of therapy in one hour. He's a good dude too.

I have seen Dr. Lawinski three times and am so pleased with his care. He spends a lot of time with me and answers all my concerns and questions. He has a very caring demeanor and is extremely knowledgeable. He is not only a M. D. but is also a notural health care provider. He has really helped me and I am so glad to have found him.
