About Jeffrey M Lawrence

Care Philosophy

As a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, I believe everyone has a unique orthopedic problem that affects them in different ways. That's why I take an individualized approach to care that meets the needs of every patient. I want you to have a thorough understanding of your condition and feel confident with your treatment options. I will take the time to answer your questions and put a plan in place that moves your care forward. The most enjoyable part of my practice is seeing patients heal and return to the activities they love.

Personal Statement

As an innovator in robotic knee arthroplasty, I am on the design team for the Apollo robotic platform and was the first user of this technology in the world. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife, sons, daughters-in-law and grandson. I also like hiking, biking, playing pickleball, listening to music, cooking, reading and traveling.

Clinical Interests

  • Computer-navigated hip replacement
  • Robotic-assisted knee replacement

    I had Dr. Lawrence do my left knee or do the total knee replacement on my left knee about five years ago and it's been very good. It's worth the couple of weeks of pain to get good use out of your legs and since walking is my primary exercise, it will be very beneficial. Thank you.

    I was at my appt. early. The woman checked me in so I sat down and waited. I was sitting there for quite a while and then asked another woman what time it was? I had been waiting for 50 minutes because for some reason I was Not checked in. This woman checked me in and let them know that I was indeed there for my 8:45 check in time. I don't know what happened....glich in the system? Everyone was very sorry I had to wait and I didn't goof up Dr. Lawrence's schedule. (I was glad about that) Everyone is always very nice and I really like Dr. Lawrence.

    The abrupt discontinuation of my Quartz Health insurance has left me unsure that I can continue utilizing Gundersen Lacrosse & Viroqua services. Even present appointments in 2026 are in question. This is very sad due to my use of both to have Cardiology, Orthopedic surgeries and Cancer Radiology followed by excellent post care. The people and teamwork I experienced were very good and will be difficult to replace.

    I had both of my knees done and they both went really, really well. I had good follow-up from people calling. I had nurses I could call with questions I had. Dr. Lawrence explained things excellently. I am doing really, really well. He, at my last visit, I had some concerns and he said that, assured me that I would continue to keep improving and that I was only like eight weeks out. And I am improving. And so I'm so thankful to him and have heard so many good things about him and I definitely will recommend him to everyone. He explained the robot things to my husband and that was great. Just great how ?
