Bio
I received specialty training in emergency medicine at Ohio State University. I spent over 20 years practicing Emergency Medicine in the Milwaukee area. I had to retire from emergency medicine after suffering a back injury. I began a medical consulting business called Lawrence Consulting LLC. I also developed an interest in health and well being, especially weight loss. I am now the medical director for Nouvelle Weight Loss Centers located in Madison, Janesville, and Milwaukee Wisconsin
