Born and raised in Arizona, Dr. Lawlor obtained a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies with emphasis in Sociology and Chemistry from Arizona State University. Upon graduation, he moved with his wife and children to Kansas City, Missouri and attended four years of medical school, graduating with his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences.

In his final year of fellowship, he served as Chief Fellow in Rheumatology and assisted in the teaching of residents working in rheumatology.

In pursuit of clinical excellence, the doctor is board-certified in rheumatology by the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine (AOBIM).
