“Excellent Doctor for Complex Immune System Issues”

Dr. Chris is one the main reasons I moved frim the mainland to Pahoa, Big Island. I suffered from an autoimmune disorder and was plagued with chronic seizures, allergies and asthma and traditional medication not only didn't help. Dr. Chris has put together a treatment plan that continues to offer improved health on all levels and has given me a 'new lease on life'. I have never met another doctor with the dedication to his patients like Dr. Chris. I am so grateful to have connected with such a top notch doctor and look forward to a life of vastly improved health!
Mahalo Dr. Chris

Dr Lawinski spent a lot of time with me during my initial visit. I am well, but we spent a great deal of time discussing ways to keep me that way. He really seemed to care about my wellness. That's a real pleasure in this day of insurance quotas and assembly line doctor visits.

“Finally relieved from years of pain”

19 years of chronic inflammatory bowel disease, 17 years of mysterious joint inflammation, Dozens of doctors (including top notch university hospital specialists in NJ)- the results: I got worse every year. Through most of 2021 I needed help dressing, getting on & off the toilet, showering because both knees, ankles, and feet were so swollen I literally couldn't wear my normal clothes & shoes. I'm a healthy weight and 35 y/o. There was no reason I should have been that sick.
I happen to meet Dr. Lawinski when getting my 329 card as marijuana was the only thing that helped my stomach concerns even though I don't like being high. I was sure this doctor couldn't help me but when he said he might be able to help I made an appointment for my chronic health issues.
Three months after starting work with Dr. Lawinski I have zero joint pain, no diarrhea. I can do all the normal things like play on the playground with my kids, go on a walk, take care of myself & my house. I'm forever grateful

When I first saw Dr. Lawinski, I was and had taken almost every pain and muscle and nerve pills, I started getting addicted and realized this is not the route I want to take, who wants to be addicted to pharmaceutical drugs because of an injury so for 9 years I took pills and once I started smoking canabis, my health and life started to get back to normal, I am now medication free and basically pain free. I'm living my best life now. Healthy and Happier.

“A medical doctor who very knowledgeable, empathetic and professional”

I initially visited the doctors office for chelation detox therapy.

At that time, Dr. Lawinski also looked at the results of my blood tests.

One test was alarming, as I had a higher than normal CEA level of a blood test. High CEA (11.7 and average range is 0 - 3.8)
This could be indicative of cancer.

He gave me advice and literature on fasting and since then, I decided to seriously start eating better, and do daily intermittant fasting, (Sometimes I break my fasting schedule, but the continue the daily 18 hour fast the next day.

To make a long story short, yesterday I learned the results of recent blood tests from my annual check-up,
and all tests are now normal, incuding the CEA test!

This is just 5 month later!

I think that my body was able to cure itself, thanks to self-discipline to maintain intermittent fasting, and mostly to the good advice from Dr. Lawinski.

Dr. Chris is both an excellent doctor and a extremely caring person. He gives his patients as much of his time as they need, speaks to them in easily understood language, and takes their own thoughts on their health seriously. At the same time he’s professional and efficient- efficiency being a particularly admirable trait in someone who charges by the minute. I like Dr. Chris, but, more importantly, I trust him.

“SUPER GREAT! AWESOME!”

There are many reasons why I am glad Dr. Chris is, and has been, my primary care physician for about the past 7 years. Lucky for me, he is a 'patient' doctor; in both senses of the word. Here in Hawaii, I learned that when they politely say, "you don't have to make another appointment now," they mean "not ever". If Dr. Chris had done that, I would likely not be here now, at age 87, and my most recent CA 27-29 marker 2 clicks below the reference range of 40, down from a high of 60 a few years ago.

“Literally saved my life.”

I have complex PTSD and clinical depression so bad mayo clinic couldn't help me. Honestly a candidate for ECT and they said that would probably not do much.

Dr. Lawinski saved my life and gave it back to where I'm not in a hospital and free. He saved me in darkest hours of me being suicidal and in insane agony. I left feeling transformed and when it wears off I get boosters. Also just a very good, good man. He's a rare one. I've had many doctors. He wins. I'm not pretty sure I'd be dead without him...I'm 100% sure I would be. but I'm not! He has been a beacon of light for me.

“Best i've seen in 20 years of intensive visits with tons of doctors.”

Most doctors dont actually listen to their patients but this one does very much so. if a doctor doesnt know whats wrong with a patient they often say "its all in their head" but this doctor will continue to figure things out because he knows "something" is wrong and will eventually get to the root cause rather than trying to slap a band-aid on the symptoms only. if a patient is willing and able to do their own research and study then he is more than happy to listen to the results of that study and use that in further treatment options and testing. he often will do blood tests that most doctors dont think of doing or perhaps just dont even know about in some cases. he knows mainstream medicine yet is open minded enough to consider alternatives especially when mainstream options are failing which often happens with complex or little-understood health issues. he has lots of devices and equipment that i usually see only at large clinics. cant do much bettet than this doctor!

“exceeded all expectations”

I made my first appointments with
Dr. Lawinski, because going to LA for
ketamine treatments was so difficult due to covid. It was also exhausting due to a long flight from Honolulu. There were docs in Honolulu who provided treatments, but it was obvious that their only incentive was $$$. The charge at Queens Hospital was the highest in the entire country!! 1200. dollars per treatment. In Dr. Lawinski and his staff, I found a team committed to helping patients like myself, with severe clinical
depression, ( as well as PTSD, ETC.), return to wellness. They also had a real understanding of the medication, as well as knowing that every patient responded differently. This was not a "cookie cutter" approach, like at many
ketamine clinics. I have had 6 treatments to date and am no longer plagued by suicidal ideation. It is wonderful to be able to sleep again, and resume activities I once enjoyed. I am ready to return to his office again, the moment I notice a change in my mood.
