He's very thorough with questions about symptoms and discusses treatment in detail.The survey doesn't acknowledge that Mychart exists- some of the answers to patient contact questions would be different if Mychart was a choice.
Providence Patient
Dr. Lawton has given me excellent care with a chronic breathing problem I have had for some time. After all the "breathing" test came back in the normal range and he evaluated my cardio testings, he admitted I need more specific testing and that will be done at UCLA in January. He said he will not stop lobbying for my health until he has an aswer!

This was my 3 month checkup appointment, but I had a severre cold and Dr. Lawton took care of me, with anti-biotics; I did get a covid test to be sure I received the right medicine.

Providence Patient
The 8 to the previous question is only because it's not in my nature to recommend to others. However, it would be my wish that everyone needing a pulmonologist, had a Dr Lawton. He is so good, comfortable, he is clear about your heath. I can ask him anything about my health, test results that I don't understand or have concerns about a medication. Not all the doctors leave you with a clear understanding or make you feel ok about asking a question. He is totally different, he always make me feel better, understand my situation better, he is a really good doctor and nice person. Thanks for the opportunity to share my thoughts. God bless.

Dr Lawton identified sleep apnea as a problem worth following up on at my first visit. I am now sleeping better and feel better because of my APAP machine, thanks to him seeing that on my medical history, but which had never been followed up on before.

Providence Patient
It took months to get the appointment for a pulmonology consultation, but Dr. Lawton was worth it. He took the time and effort to review the medical history and its current relevance. He ordered a sleep study test that confirmed untreated moderate to severe apnea and has made a referral for treatment. The apnea was part of the medical history, but it had been left untreated for years, impacting overall health and wellbeing. He actively worked to improve the patient's condition, instead of passing it off.
Providence Patient
Dr. Lawton was excellent. I appreciate his calm demeanor in listening to me.
Providence Patient
Every visit to dr Lawton has been informative and excellent. Would recommend him to any and all for pulmonary care.
Providence Patient
Friendly. To the point. Clear spoken (very important for a person with hearing loss). Efficient, but not rushed. Knowledgeable, but discussions are not buried in medical jargon. Included my wife in all the discussions, also hearing me. And there Is very little "homework " on the internet, to figure out what he was saying. And, he Is willing to actively consider the Impacts of other areas of medicine (heart, vessels, kidneys, nerves, attitude ) A doctor visit I look forward to having, when needed.
Providence Patient
Very nice,knowledgeable,patience. He does care about his patients.
Providence Patient
Dr. Lawton is one of my favorite doctors. He always listens to me and explains things so I can understand them. He is also very kind and caring.
