Essentially what Dr. Lawrence lacks in social skills - which by the below testaments should be a decent indication - he does possess in his technical expertise. He is a first-rate technician (all doctors & dentists are technicians first & foremost) and can provide dental solutions as well as anyone, which is unusual nowadays. He is not an effective communicator, however, so if that is necesary for your dental experience you may be disappointed. However, it should also be pointed out that with changes in the last few years to... read more
We trusted dr lawrence! We knew there were negative reviews. He was close by and accepted our insurance. I had a root canal that turned into a tooth extraction. Dr lawrence was BARBARIC!! I sucked it up. A month later had another tooth that was slightly bothering me. Went in and he filled it and said "don't be surprised if you call me tonight screaming". Well, I bit into a soft piece of deli meat and fell to my knees!!!! Dr. Lawrence knew exactly what he was doing!!! ALL OF THE REVIEWS are true!!! He is deceitful!!! He shoul... read more
I had a very pleasant experience for my first time seeing this dentist. The girls at the front desk were all extremely nice! His hygienist Sue did such a wonderful thorough job! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for a cleaning! Dr. Lawrence came into the room after my cleaning and xrays were done, he did the exam and said I had one cavity and was able to take care of my cavity right away! Who needs small talk with the dentist when you have all the other nice people working for him! I would recommend this dentist and his staff!
I go to this guys Port Jefferson office. He has done my cleanings, fillings and a cap over the past 3 years. What he lacks in bedside manner and small-talk, is made up with a quick and thorough visit. he has always explained the necessary procedures in detail, and although he is rushed for time, he gets the job done. I am not seeking a new friendship with my care providers, and could give a rat's arse if the dentist had a nice weekend, or if he is enjoying the weather. I actually appreciate "business medicine", less talk, no... read more
First of all he is a dentist so don't address him as doctor. He does not have an MD. His staff wants u to sign up for more services and stretch what can be fixed in one sitting to 10. He clearly has a complex. Even real doctors with MDs behave with more humility than this one
Do not go here! Dr. Lawrence doesn't sterilize his instruments properly. He treats his patients and staff with no respect.
Worst dentist I've ever encountered. My husband had an appointment with Dr. Lawrence at his Port Jefferson location in March 2012. I told the staff when I set up the appointment that my husband has very sensitive teeth, that we would only be going for a consultation to see what needed to be done, and set up appointments for dental work from there. We got there and the doctor made us feel very rushed. He took my husband back while I stayed in the waiting room to fill out paper work. He was back there for a few minutes for the... read more
Dr. (if you can call him that) Lawrence should end his practice. Honestly the man is completely unprofessional and rude. Clearly there's something psychologically wrong with this man and he should be under investigation. Upon my very first appointment, this man didn't bother introducing himself and he rushed through a butchering of my gums. I'm not an overly sensitive person, by any stretch, but he did just about everything he could to make me feel uncomfortable. I was in shock at his total lack of common courtesy and tact. ... read more
Today was my first experience with Dr. Lawrence and my last. I found him to be condescending and entitled. When I asked if he would be able to fill any cavities today he ranted that appointments were for 30 minutes only, because it was not to his benefit to schedule patients for longer appontments. He made it clear that everything was about money and he did not demonstrate any type of compassion or tact. I was referred to Dr. Lawrence by a friend who said he was somewhat aloof but ok, so I trusted her opinion. When I told he... read more
