This Dr is not very caring. He is an awesome surgeon and it a great job on my gallbladder however not a caring person. I was admitted through emergency room over night for gallbladder and was told that I would have it removed that coming afternoon so I should fast do to surgery. Dr Lawson came in my room that following evening around 4:30 only to tell me oh know im not doing procedure now not till tomorrow at around 5 PM!! So I then ate. Then the following day had to fast all day yet again and he was late for surgery. Waited and waited in the middle of surgical center in my gown at hospital until his arrival. The surgery went EXCELLENT. I never received a follow up call to check my condition from his office I never received a Post Op visit scheduled from his office THEN received a bill for $275 for an office visit prior to my surgery which I NEVER had. (except when he walked in my hospital room for 5 mins to tell me he wasn't doing my surgery that day

Dr. Larson was the General Surgeon on call when I was admitted into the hospital for abdominal problems. He was the voice of reason that allowed me to keep my perfectly viable gallbladder. His bedside manner is very relaxing and I found him to be extremely intelligent. Although I never needed the surgery, he is the doctor I will choose if ever I do.

since 2004 Dr Larson has been my doctor. In 2004 Dr. Larson saved my life by taking care of a hernia no one else would and it had burst. He was there every day checking on me. Since then he has gone thru various hernias and breast cancer with me. I would recommend Dr Larson for any surgery he feels is necessary. Thank God for a doctor who cares

Dr. Larson cared for me during a recent emergency and hospitalization. It turned out that I was able to avoid surgery, but I very much appreciated his care, wisdom and expertise exhibited in our consultations and would definitely recommend him to others.
