My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

My top priority is to personally connect with my patients in a meaningful way, to fully understand your concerns, needs and desires for optimal health and to build a trusting and caring doctor-patient relationship with you. My goal, as your personal physician, is to draw on my communication and teaching skills to ensure that you get the information and answers you need in a comfortable, unrushed and supportive environment in order to partner with you to help you achieve your health goals. 

My MDVIP-affiliated primary care practice currently serves El Paso and Teller counties in the Colorado Springs area. I am passionate about my own personal fitness and health, which helps me bring additional insight into my treatment of hypertension, diabetes and the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Lawson

from JAMES in CO March 13, 2024 for Theodore Lawson, MD

It's a bit of a long story, but a good one to highlight how important Dr Ted Lawson has been to my "life". I started seeing Ted as my Primary Care Doc back in 2007 or 2008 when I was still in the Air Force. I appreciated his very professional and knowledgeable demeaner... as well as the fact that he laughed at most of my stupid "opportune humor." In June of 2014 I started feeling lethargic and… See more

from Marcia in CO February 10, 2024 for Theodore Lawson, MD

I just became a patient of Dr Lawson January 1st. So far I haven’t had a need to make an appointment.

I was fortunate to be able to speak to Dr Lawson at my previous doctor’s retirement. I was introduced to him by his wife. I was sitting next to her as speeches and introductions were being made totally unaware of who she was.

I’m so happy that Dr Lawson agreed to take on some… See more

I had a lot of trouble with my shoulder. Through different tests and exams the orthopedist had found rotator cuff tears. Exercises and therapy were recommended. After a few months of that I still had trouble. I was given a shot. That helped for awhile, but the pain came back. A final choice I could make was surgery. For different reasons that kept being delayed. Dr. Lawson strongly advised… See more

from Douglas in CO February 10, 2024 for Theodore Lawson, MD

AS one enters the evening hours of one's life, it is critical that one has a doctor to turn to to provide light and understanding on how your way of life will change as you age. It is not only how life might change and I do not refer to drastic or life threatening moments, but more importantly how to address the change and still enjoy the evening. This testimonial is not about a significant… See more

Dr. Lawson has been my personal primary physician for 27 years. Not only has it been helpful having the same personal physician for so long, but also, Dr. Lawson's treatments and referrals have always been outstanding. I would refer him to anyone as their primary physician.

from Eric in CO January 22, 2024 for Theodore Lawson, MD

I retired after 20 years of active military service where I had access to free healthcare. Post-retirement I wasn't sure what healthcare would be like in the civilian world. I had seen my wife bounce from, often ineffective providers to marginal ones at best over the years. So I stayed in the military healthcare system because I didn't know better.

My company paid for MDVIP… See more

from Jaron in CO January 19, 2024 for Theodore Lawson, MD

When I moved to Colorado from Connecticut, I asked some new colleagues about a medical practice. I was referred to Mountain View Medical Group where I was assigned to Dr. Lawson. I found him to be knowledgable and just a good person to chat with during my routine visits. He always , even though I knew he was busy, responded to any issues I had. When he joined MDVIP , I moved with him. I… See more

from Rick in CO February 10, 2022 for Theodore Lawson, MD

Dr Lawson was of great assistance in helping me with my gout condition. He explained the importance of diet weight loss and exercise. As a result I am doing great. The medications for blood pressure and cholesterol are doing the job.

from Paul in CO February 10, 2022 for Theodore Lawson, MD

Dr; Lawson takes the time to thoroughly review my history and shows that he understands what I am talking about. He responds approprioately to what concerns me. He has performed some lab tests no other doctor had done on me. When I call or contact him through the portal he responds promptly.
