Doctor is great!
Doctor Lawhon is the absolute best!
Nothing great job
Dr. Lawhon is phenomenal and has such a great way of communicating with children and making them feel safe and comfortable. I wouldn't take my children anywhere else.
Having a child with many medical conditions comes with challenges in our healthcare system. To have a doctor you trust is crucial and helps ease any stress a parent carries worrying about their child's health. I trust Dr. Lawhon and I appreciate his willingness to listen and help us with any concerns we have.
Dr Lawhon is a physician we trust with our child's health! We have seen him for several years now, and was able to diagnose a problem our child had, and see us through the surgery. He is very thorough, is a great listener, and explains things extremely well. He has also reached out to us via MyChart answering any questions I have had, or explaining things further. I am saddened by the thought of phasing out of Akron Children's Vision Center in just a few short years!
Dr was amazing! Professional. Kind. Answered our questions. Nurse who did (Patient's) initial eye testing was wonderful! So sweet and explained what tests she was doing. Great office staff also!
The doctor and the assistants are phenomenal. They're truly caring and compassionate. My son has been a patient here for years, and it's always a wonderful experience. Our family couldn't ask for a better provider!
Dr Lawhon has taken care of my grandson since he was (age) yrs old ((age) now) I've always felt very comfortable with his diagnosis and conversations with us. He does need more help in his office, staffing is limited.
