Lawson Family Chiropractic

Negative experience: Horrible service. Rude staff. Go anywhere else but here.

Fantastic experience: Hoss(fur baby) was having hip issues. Dr. Meg was great with him. She explained everything she was doing to help his hips. He has been back for his second visit. It was just as good as the first. Hoss is doing so much better. I will not hesitate to reach out to her again if Hoss or myself need her. Donna M.

Fantastic experience: My husband and i have used many chiropractors in this area and Florida and dr lawson is without peer. She is far superior to other chiropractors in the area. Highly recommend her. Jen elliott, rn

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lawson helped me enormously with pain from a torn meniscus. She is thorough and explains things in a way I am able to understand. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg has been keeping me vertical for many years. Her gentle chiropractic method and intuitive touch make her THE BEST chiropractor I have known. When I had serious problems, she went above and beyond to help at times not convenient for her, as well. I cannot recommend anyone more highly than Dr. Meg!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lawson helps me with lower back pain. She is always accommodating when desperate and need an adjustment. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The appointment process was quick and easy. Dr. Meg was thorough and professional. She made sure to explain what she was doing and why. I’ll only use Dr. Meg in the future.

Fantastic experience: Great place for dot physical Caring understanding full process In and out

Fantastic experience: Dr Lawson has treated many of my dogs and cats over the years with incredible results! She helped one of my dogs deal with vestibular disease which improved her quality of life dramatically! She helped my cat when his jaw was dislocated and he couldn’t eat and the chiropractic vet said she didn’t feel confident adjusting his jaw and told me the only route was surgery at the vet school which would cost thousands of dollars. I was desperate and Dr. Lawson came to his rescue and fixed his jaw with one adjustment. As he got older, it became a chronic problem and she continued to treat him, always with great results! She has helped my dog with spinal issues and my other dog when he was limping. When I couldn’t afford to pay her, she saw my animals for free or let me trade with her. She has always helped to improve the quality of life of my pets and I have no doubt, she helped prolong their lives. When they aren’t having particular issues, I have brought them in for maintenance. Dr Lawson cares deeply about animals and I will always be so grateful to her for her kindness, generosity and expertise in helping my pets live better and longer lives!

Fantastic experience: We found a small dog that had been severely abused and then abandoned. He was in horrible condition and in pain from being hit, or kicked in the face and upper body. He had a broken jaw and a bone fragment pushed up into he sinus. He could barely move or eat. My vet recommended Meg Lawson, she worked wonders on him. He began to eat and actually chew, and he was not just walking, he was prancing around the house. I have, and will continue to recommend Meg Lawson for pets who need her knowledge and skill in caring for their fur-kids!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lawson is an excellent chiropractor. She has taking care of my chiropractic needs for years. I was so happy to find out she adjusts animals and have taken two of my dogs for treatments. These adjustments helped them immensely and enabled them to continue with their lives in a pain-free way.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lawson has provided healing canine chiropractic care to my poor puppy, who had to wear a cast on his rear leg due to several fractures , falling out of bed. Having the cast on him had put his vertebrae and hip out of adjustment. He was in dire need of Dr. Lawson’s great affective canine chiropractor adjustments. Her skilled knowledgeable talents corrected my Boxer puppy almost immediately . When I took him to his dog shows all the judges said his movement was great. They couldn’t tell he broke his leg. I give a lot of thanks to Dr. Lawson, and her find practice in contributing to my puppy’s recovery and success. Her pricing is beyond generous and her values and care for the animals well being proceeds monetary values. Her love for animals is real and true! It shows in Everything she does . With Sincere Appreciation, Theresa Breeder of AKC National Champions~Boxers

Fantastic experience: Amazing healer with my dogs! I had a litter once and 1 puppy wasn't walking but his siblings were. I took him in to see Dr Meg and she adjusted his tiny pelvis and just like that he popped up and started walking! I had an older girl who was in a lot of pain from her neck and a slipped disc. My vet recommended euthanasia. I brought her to Dr Meg who got her to live a pain-free life with regular chiropractic adjustments for another 5 years!!! I recommend Dr Meg for humans and animals too, every chance I get!

Fantastic experience: Updated post after a few years: About five years ago, my dog's back went out and she was in so much pain she couldn’t lift her head. The vet has her on a nerve medicine, pain medicine, and muscle relaxer and said the only other option was to have surgery at the UGA vet hospital. I was seriously considering putting her down because I couldn’t hear too see her hurt like that. I took her to Dr. Meg as a last ditch effort. After a few adjustments, my girl was back to new, jumping over 5 foot fences and running at a crazy fast speed. About two years later, her back went out again and immediately set up an appointment to see Dr. Meg. This time her back legs wouldn’t hold her body up. Dr. Lawson's adjusted the vertebra back into place and used laser therapy. My dog got back to normal after two visits. My husband has horrible migraines and at the time had a migraine and it lasted for at least a month. I got him to go to see Dr. Meg the last visit we took my dog to. We immediately both signed up to get chiropractic adjustments. He was terrified of Chiropractor ‘s prior to that from previous experiences. He got relief after the first or second appointment. Now my husband, my five year old son, and I all get our backs adjusted by Dr. Meg (Dr. Lawson) once every three weeks. She’s the first chiropractor we’ve had who does a completely different adjustment on all three of us. My husband and I my back problems are totally different so it’s awesome that she uses completely tailored techniques with each of us. For my young son, she does very simple adjustment but he always feel so much better and he loves to jump on the table and get adjusted now. I think Dr. Meg is the best chiropractor. I wish everybody had to train under her. A lot of chiropractors only specialize in one technique. She is trained in 24 techniques and actively uses 12 of them to tailor each person’s adjustments as well as lasers, percussive instruments, ice packs, stretching, etc. I selfishly wish. I selfishly hope she never retires! Thank you, Dr. Meg!

Fantastic experience: I've trusted Dr Lawson for mine and my dogs chiropractic care since 1998. She's an amazing healer and I've seen her work miracles on my dogs!!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg Anne Lawson has been our Chiropractor for almost 20 years now. She has done more to help us with several medical issues than our former primary care clinic. Not only does she have multiple human degrees and additional training workshops, she has practical knowledge and understanding of how to integrate the various systems of the body: both human and animal species. Dr. Meg has veterinary training and clinical experience. She has a quiet, calming touch with her animal patients. She successfully treated our somewhat fiesty cat for an injury. her soothing touch kept him relaxed and calm during his procedure and he recovered well. We highly recommend Dr. Meg Anne Lawson for the best Chiropractic care and treatment for not only human, but all the animal family members in our lives.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg helped me with adjustments for my dog when he injured his leg. She’s amazingly perceptive, helped relieve his discomfort through multiple adjustments and gave him red light therapy all while making sure he felt safe and comfortable. I can’t thank her enough for her care. My dog was visibly moving better the next day and his pain eased a great deal. I definitely recommend consulting her care for pet adjustments.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg is excellent. And as we have a doctor and several nurses in the family we have some insight into this sort of thing. If you think she isn't charging enough, please ask her to adjust her rate just for you.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Lawson Chiropractic for 28 plus years. My entire family including our pets (3dogs) have received excellent care. Our dogs are playful & happy after getting adjusted. Thank you doctor Meg!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg is absolutely amazing! She has adjusted lambs, goats, and pigs for us on many occasions with great results!

Fantastic experience: Easy to make appointments online or over the phone. Great health safety and disinfecting during COVID-19. Reasonably priced. Dr. Meg is super knowledgeable. Been seeing her for over 5 years now. Would highly recommend. Recently started having Dr. Meg adjust my 15 year old cat. The difference is like night and day. My cat is so much more chill and her hips are so much more mobile after being adjusted. Definitely increased quality of life for my fur baby.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been going to Dr. Lawson for 10 years. I go once a month. She has helped me tremendously. She is by far the best chiropractor we have ever been to. She truly cares about her patients. We both highly recommend her. I used to suffer from really bad headaches, and I do not anymore. She has been a life saver. Very educated and knows how to help me get through my struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Along with her dietary and exercise advise, I feel much healthier. Great doctor and great person!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lawson has been my chiropractor for many years now, and I attribute to her that I can stand upright and walk without limping – she is just wonderful. When my 15 year old lab mix began having a lot of trouble walking and having seizures, I asked Dr. Meg if she thought she could help her. She said chiropractic treatment could indeed help with those issues, so I took Daisy in to see her. After her very first treatment, she was walking so much better., and she never had another seizure! Dr. Meg is the best, and her fees don't break the bank-A real blessing in this day and age.

Fantastic experience: This lady is amazing!! I don't go to anyone , I am one not to even go to a dr, but once, sure going back!! She is amazing! Honest! 10 stars for sure!! Was sore but now best I felt I cant wait for Weeks til my next appointment !

Fantastic experience: Great chiropractor!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lawson is very attentive and dedicated to providing the best individualized treatments. I would recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Lawson for over 26 years and would not trust anyone else to the everyday care of my spine. She has a thorough knowledge of the body and how all the systems work together. She takes the time to listen to my health concerns and offers solutions by detailing how each solution will provide positive results. I have referred several friends to her over the years and no one has ever been disappointed. I also trusted Dr. Lawson with treating my daughter as she grew up, giving adjustments to her growing spine and helping ease pain from stress and very heavy bookbags. She does not overcharge for her services and there are no unnecessary services to charge a higher fee. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This office offers much more than your typical "crack your back" experience. Dr. Meg accesses your particular situation and offers a variety of techniques to provide the best results. She does not aim to keep you coming back to the office but to keep you in good health! I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Dr Lawson provides the care you need and a holistic approach at your overall health, with a cute little dog to entertain while you are there.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lawson has helped me overcome severe headaches with regular chiropractic care. She is flexible with my irregular schedules. Gracie is a welcome bonus.

Fantastic experience: Awesome customer service. Dr Meg genuinely cares about her patients and after my many years of going to her for treatment I proudly call her my friend.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lawson is a vert intelligent chiropractor. She has always been thorough and listens well to all my complaints. I have a neck problem and I'm so glad I found her. I recommend her to all my clients.

Fantastic experience: My family has been going to Lawson Family Chiropractic for years. Dr. Meg Lawson is fantastic! She is extremely knowledgeable and has been able to help keep us healthy and pain free. Recently she discovered the reason for my wife's ongoing pain in her leg and after treatments with Lawson Family Chiropractic my wife is finally able to walk again without pain. Dr. Meg is someone that I recommended to people all the time.

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Dr. Meg for some severe chronic foot pain I was having. She worked me in quickly and has been flexible with my work schedule. Her pleasant demeanor and expertise in her field are unmatched. She gave me homework and stays on top of my progress. I am basically pain free at this point, thanks to Dr. Meg!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg is the absolute best! She came highly recommended by my Chiropractor in Michigan when we relocated to Athens, Georgia back in 2017. She is compassionate and caring. Her techniques are painless and her direction priceless. The office therapy dog, Dixie passed away this year leaving little Gracie Lou alone to greet patients. Dr. Meg keeps me up & running. She has always returned my calls and if possible fit me in on a busy day. My health continues to improve with her treatments and guidance. Give her a try. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Oh I love this chiropractor! Dr. Meg has impacted my health and wellness in so many ways! My visits to her office have been incredibly helpful, especially during acute discomfort and pain. After my car accident I struggled with low back pain and neck stiffness that I was afraid would never go away. Her holistic knowledge and chiropractic skill changed that for me only after a few visits! I have been particularly impressed with the way the office has handled patients during COVID. Her cleanliness and care has been thoughtful and wise during this difficult time. I highly recommend this office!

Fantastic experience: Dr Meg has been my chiropractor for almost 18 years, including through 2 car accidents, knee surgeries, and the day in and day out of growing older. I had only been a patient for a few months when I was T-boned by another driver. After a trip to the ER and X-rays, I was sent home with a few prescriptions for pain relief & muscle relaxers. I saw Dr Lawson the next morning. By then the bruises, aches, pains and mental fog had really set in. After a gentle and thorough exam, she gently did a little adjusting, moist heat, wonderful advice for the serious bruises from the seat belt, scheduled another appointment with her for in a few days AND the strong recommendation to see my primary care physician that day for a probable concussion. I have had a few other serious and painful problems that her timely care was the healing touch I needed. I say all that to say why Dr Meg Lawson will always be my chiropractor, she will always be part of my wellness journey. I so appreciate her gentle, professional chiropratic care. (She was not my first chiropractor, but she’s my forever chiropractor! And my family!) She always has positive, helpful advise for specific issues or problems AND she also makes referrals when appropriate. Dr Meg is very conscientious about providing a safe environment in her clinic, especially during this COVID-19 pandemic. I highly recommend Dr Lawson for all people, all ages and issues.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Dr. Meg for years now. She always pays attention to the issues I’m having at each appointment and adjusts me accordingly. She has a fix for everything! I’ve been in several car accidents and had falls and injuries, all of which she’s helped treat. Chiropractic care works best when you get adjusted on a regular basis — it’s like getting regular oil changes for your car, rather than going to the body shop for an overhaul when you have an accident. I highly recommend Dr. Meg for your regular maintenance!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg and her staff are AMAZING!! She’s ALWAYS just a phone call away. I didn’t visit a chiropractor regularly until finding her. She is always very thorough, answers all questions and even makes suggestions about health in general. She always suggests things for me try to keep my chiropractic costs low. She really cares about your total care. I recommend her at every given opportunity and will continue to do so. My children are adults now and I have referred them. I can’t rave enough about how sincere, thoughtful, experienced, and friendly Dr. Lawson is. If you are ever in need of honest chiropratic care please see her. You’ll be so glad you did!

Fantastic experience: Dr Lawson was amazing!!!! I went in with issue I had been dealing with for a while. She had me share exactly what was bothering me and took a very thorough medical history. I have an autoimmune problem and so she was very aware of how my body would flare up with too much too soon! I felt relief about 24 hrs after my appointment and it just keeps getting better! The fact she also works on and loves dogs is just an added bonus! Id recommend her to anyone!!!

Fantastic experience: I’m so thankful to have found Dr. Meg after a few years of dealing with upper back and neck pain after a car accident! My boss recommended her, I was hesitating at first bc I’d never been to a chiropractor before. Once I got there I was very pleased. The atmosphere was homey, yet professional. It made you feel very comfortable and that’s important to me! Doctor Meg is very professional, and very skilled at what she does! After I leave my appointment I feel honestly like a brand new person! If you’re looking for a family chiropractor I’d highly recommend Doctor Meg! She’s the best around in my book! She definitely can get you to feeling your best!

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Lawson for 20 years. She has decreased my back and neck pains greatly. I worked in a high stress job and her treatments decreased my pain, improved my health in general as I have not been sick in 15 years. Dr Lawson is professional, treats me with respect, listens to my concerns, and explains how she is treating my problems. She also suggests exercises which help decrease my pain. I cannot imagine a better doctor who addresses my concerns in a wholistic approach.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Dr. Meg for years. She consistently offers the best treatment and the best prices. Her concern for my entire health and well-being goes above and beyond anything I’ve experienced elsewhere. I appreciate how her care and education has helped me continue to be a successful teacher!

Fantastic experience: Doctor Meg is by far the best and most professional chiropractic I’ve had the opportunity to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and is constantly working to expand her knowledge. Exams are thorough and comprehensive. She is my choice as my lifetime chiropractor.

Fantastic experience: Meg Lawson is a knowledgeable chiropractor. She has helped keep me pain free when other medical professionals wanted to just add more medications to hide the pain. She has gone out of her way to accommodate my needs. She fully understands the body and the cause and effect of misalignment. She spends time educating me on ways to prevent repeating the same misalignments. I would highly recommend her for all chiropractic needs. She has done a great job keeping her practice safe during these trying times with COVID.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg has kept me moving and functional for a number of years. Besides her expertise as a chiropractor, her knowledge of how the body works as a whole enables her to give great tips on stretches and exercises I can do to help myself.

Fantastic experience: Great chiropractic care. I like that Dr. Lawson explains why I am in pain and what she is doing to correct it.

Fantastic experience: Dr Lawson is awesome. Best chiropractor ever for me. She’s very knowledgeable and professional I’ve had great results

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg is fantastic. She uses different techniques to relieve pain and discomfort, so my treatment is customized each time I visit. She is knowledgable and cares about my health and well-being, and provides muscle-specific stretches to do at home. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Years ago, I had a bad experience with a different practitioner and avoided chiropractic. About nine years ago, my Atlanta Functional Medicine doctor referred me to Lawson Family Chiropractic. I'm so glad she did! Dr. Meg is efficient and effective. She goes above and beyond to help her patients heal. I see her regularly for "maintenance" and prevent those really bad spasms I used to have. I refer her to anyone who needs care.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Meg regularly for several years. I have found her to be intelligent, consistently kind, and hard working. She is an excellent diagnostician and is wonderful hands on.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg Lawson is a good caring chiropractor, attentive to each patient's needs. We highly recommend her!

Negative experience: This office is apparently short-staffed and full of excuses. I initially made an appt for a meet/greet even though I had a gardener's back pain at the time of my call. Thought it would subside. It got worse. Called the day before the appt which was 3 days later, leaving a message on the answering machine, to see if it could be changed to an adjustment only to NEVER receive a return call. Called again only to get the machine. Show up a FULL 26 hours later and THEN am told the appt could not be for an adjustment, just a meet/greet. Full of excuses that she worked until late hours alone the day before and didn't open until 1pm today. I guess for her assistant sitting at the desk to take FIVE minutes to call me and say no adjustment can be scheduled at the appointed time would be too much of an effort. Well I met and find this lack of courtesy to be horrendous. Guess they don't need the patients.

Fantastic experience: I've been seen by many chiropractors over the last 49 years and I've worked for 3. I am pleased to recommend Dr Lawson as the BEST!! She has more knowledge in many areas than any I've seen and knows which techniques to use and HOW to do them. I'm very impressed with her and will continue to go to her. She has helped my problem that doctors can only throw pain meds at!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg has been a key player in maintaining my health over the last two dozen years, helping through a couple of serious health challenges and keeping me tuned up between those episodes. She stays current on advances in her own and related fields especially nutrition and clearly explains how such info relates to a particular symptom. She always instructs on simple exercises to help maintain the adjustment and which ones to avoid. Most importantly, Dr. Meg is a good multi-modal "listener", paying attention not just with her ears, but with her eyes and her hands to the status of your body and how it responds to treatment. Several friends of various ages also value her work for themselves and their families.

Fantastic experience: I have had back and foot problems for a long time. When I moved to Athens I started seeing Meg and she has been great. She always takes the time to make sure I am feeling better before I leave. She has helped me stay healthy and has been a lifesaver.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a lot of the chiropractors here in Athens but I’ve been at Dr. Lawson‘s practice for 5+ years because she offers long-term management not quick fixes at lower costs than most of the other chiropractors. She has a wide knowledge base not just in chiropractic care but alternative therapies for other health issues plus her in-depth knowledge on nutrition and supplements.

Fantastic experience: I have been seen by Dr. Lawson for many years, and have been helped with numerous conditions that may have otherwise hindered me from enjoying my work and family.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg is without question one of the best and most trusted medical professionals in Athens. I have been going to see her for 20 years, and I have referred countless friends and UGA co-workers to her, all of whom are as pleased with her care as I am. I have seen her over the years for running- and weightlifting-related issues, back pain and shoulder pain, and preventive care and overall health maintenance. On every visit Dr. Meg has been extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. She spends plenty of time with me, listens thoroughly as I explain my problem or symptoms, and asks thoughtful questions to make sure she has all the necessary information. Then she clearly explains—in language I can understand, and often with visual aids—what she thinks is going on and the treatment she recommends. This is exactly the kind of interaction I wish I could have with all of my medical providers. I always leave Dr. Meg’s office feeling much better and if I came in with pain, my pain is reduced (sometimes so significantly it seems miraculous). She regularly gives me printouts of exercises I can do at home and makes recommendations for other home-care strategies. Dr. Meg and her staff create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere and the office is in a very nice, clean, well-kept building that was originally built as a ranch house, so the reviewer who references a “trailer” has clearly never been there. I highly recommend Dr. Meg Lawson and Lawson Family Chiropractic to anyone looking for a highly skilled, caring, experienced chiropractor.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg is amazing. Her office has a great relaxed home feel and I love being greeted by her little dog, Gracie. I’ve been a patient of hers for the last two years and she has helped me in more ways than I can count. I have degenerated disc disease in my lower back and she has kept me off the surgical table thus far with her many methods. I would strongly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Suffering from back pain, and migraines, I started going here 3 years ago. I had never been to a chiropractor before, and I am so thankful my first experience with one, was with Dr. Lawson. She is personable, and knows her stuff. She has helped me so much along the years, and I could never thank her enough. The facility is clean, and maintained, and the other staff are warm and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I don’t know who Kelly Nguyen is, but she did not show up at Dr. Meg Lawson of Lawson Chiropractic if she said it was in a trailer and dirty. I’ve been going to Dr. Meg for the last 5 years and her office is nice. She is really amazing with her treatment and very good at explaining exactly what is out of place and why your body is experiencing certain pains. She also doesn’t try to sign you up for un-needed treatment. She’s so good that I travel over an hour to get to her office. It’s well worth it! I believe the bad review was from a competitor or a friend of a competitor. Dr. Meg is Great!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lawson was able to relieve the excruciating pain of a pinched nerve in my neck with one treatment. She employs a more gentle (but effective!) approach which I prefer. I will continue to see her while I need follow-up. My children were both treated by her about 15 years ago and she has continued to be a wonderful resource for many health issues. I recommend her without reservation.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg's adjustments are first class and when needed, she suggests exercises to do at home. As a patient, I realize that I have to do my part as well. Also, she is not at all pushy in re-scheduling. I highly recommend Lawson Family Chiropractic.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Meg has competently treated me and my family for 20+ years. She is knowledgeable in many areas including vitamins, supplements, exercises and will not hesitate to refer someone to another healthcare professional if a condition warrants. I appreciate that she does not overcharge in order to lavishly furnish an office. She is conveniently located in a more-than-adequate house/office on Gaines School Road. It is her expertise and care for patients that is important to me.
