My son has had these skin issues for a while. While Dr. Lawley was nice I did not feel as if she really wanted to clear up the issues. Recommending a follow up after 3 months instead of saying use this for a few weeks and call us and let us know if the treatment is working. It was very hard to get an appointment and I thought it would be a little more thoughtful. Having to wait for 45 min in the room did not help either.

As described earlier. Left feeling uneasy and unnecessarily scared over something that isn't known.

Dr. Lawley is the best! Very grateful to have her pediatric dermatology expertise at Emory.

We love Dr. Lawley. She is outstanding and I couldn't be happier. I've never had a Dr that is up to date with new information and provides me with that information so I can make well informed decisions and take action on my son's health. She is a top tier Dr we travel to see; when no one else can get it done/right. I feel we are in the best hands when we come to her. My son has complicated skin issues that normally go misdiagnosed a lot, prescribed medication that's unnecessary when we come here to Dr Lawley she gets it right every time and sends us off on a healing journey. We are here for the second time in my son's life for relief of many misdiagnosis. With months of issues we are already seeing a good response within 24 hrs. If we lived in Atlanta we wouldn't ever leave.

Dr Lawley had a PGY with her. He was also great. Professional, courteous and used great age-appropriate care/words when addressing my son.

Dr. Lawley's resident Dr. Smith was welcoming and willing to answer any questions or concerns in depth. However, Dr. Lawley was quite the opposite. I felt as though if I had not come to the appointment with many questions, I would have left without much information. She provided answers but was hesitant to elaborate or explain details to help me understand the disease condition, progress, at home care and medical treatments.

Dr. Lawley is very knowledgeable and pleasant. My hesitation in recommending her is her wait times. It's very difficult to get an appointment and the appointments are very long because she's overbooked.
