Deeply committed to patient-centered care, Dr. Lawrie believes that understanding a patient as a person is the first step toward effective treatment. He takes time to get to know his patients — not just their joint problem, but their story and lifestyle how their hip or knee condition affects their abilities. He collaborates with his patients to develop a personalized care plan that reflects their unique challenges and recovery goals — whether it’s returning to work, staying active or simply being able to move without pain. When he's not caring for patients, Dr. Lawrie enjoys spending time with his family and staying active through outdoor pursuits like kiteboarding and cycling — activities that reinforce his belief in the importance of mobility and quality of life.
