Dr Christopher Lawrence

Written by a patient at Lister Hospital

What an amazing doctor, I have so much trust in him with my life. When I go to see this doctor for my transplant clinic he always tells me how it is and never beats around the bush and straight to the point especially when my blood pressure is high. I’m so greatful for everything he has done for me

Absolutely first rate in every respect- a doctor who cares about his patients, and gives the most thorough care. I cannot recommend this doctor highly enough as an exemplar of his profession-would that the Hospital gave him (and his colleagues) the infrastructure in the clinic that they deserve- the rooms are shabby and to have to discuss the details of one's diet and medicines with no privacy (in the waiting room!) is disgraceful.

I see different specialist doctors but Dr Lawrence is the best. After my kidney transplant 5 years ago he has always been very encouraging and takes his time to patiently explain what is going on with my health. He is very professional but also manages to put me at ease so that I’m relaxed. If I have any concerns about my care and health he is supportive and he listens patiently. He helps me in accessing the right support that is available to me and I can count on him to be honest with me all the time without scaring me. He is a great doctor and goes the extra mile for his patients despite his busy schedule. If I had to choose doctors I would choose the ones that had his work ethic. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor and I am sure that all his patients would agree with me.

Dr Chris Lawrence is a highly professional and knowledgeable Renal Consultant, he is confident in answering questions, actively listens and what I like the most is that he is able to "think outside of the box", he encourages independence in managing my condition as well as I can and is creative when considering ways of improving outcomes. He was extremely supportive when I went into end stage renal failure and had to consider my options and with his support I went onto the transplant waiting list and have been very fortunate in receiving a very good transplant. As others have mentioned he gave me his email address which I have tried not to take advantage of but this has been very beneficial to providing prompt treatment. I have been involved in hospitals both with family's renal health and my own renal health for the past 48 years and have to say that Dr Lawrence's involvement in my renal care has been a very positive experience. Thank you!

Dr Lawrence is highly professional, knowledgeable and caring, everything a Dr should be. I have total confidence in him and always feel respected and important. He has helped me to understand my condition and medication that goes along with it. I am only in my twenties so being given a devasting prognosis was shocking and upsetting but he was very kind, patient and informative and after I had calmed down I felt a lot better especially knowing he was in charge of my care. I like that there is continuity of care also with Dr Lawrence always requesting that he see's me when attending clinic. He has given me an email address to contact him which is a lovely personal touch that I appreciate immensely, going above and beyond I'd say. All in all Dr Lawrence is a superb Consultant and we are lucky to have him on the NHS.
