Nicole Zanin Lawrence, MD

"Dr. Lawrence is board-certified in internal medicine and most recently completed a geriatric medicine fellowship at UCLA. She loves taking care of patients in a variety of settings, including the clinic, home, hospital and nursing home. She earned her MD from Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine in Dayton, OH and completed her internal medicine residency at the University of California, Irvine. During medical school, she was chosen to participate in a research program on aging at Harvard Medical School, where she learned from the nation’s top faculty in geriatric medicine. She is currently a staff member at Torrance Memorial Medical Center and Little Company of Mary Torrance.

Dr. Lawrence has a true passion for helping people live their best lives. She will go to any length to ensure that her patients have the care they deserve. She feels personally invested in her patients’ health and their lives as a whole. Being a physician is a calling for her, not just a job. That’s why she brings genuine energy and her positive spirit to every interaction with her patients.

She likes building long-term relationships with her patients and working toward the shared goals of optimal health. She believes that giving her patients the ability to contact her at any time is the healthiest, safest and most satisfying way to care for them. Her primary areas of focus include caring for older adults, managing chronic diseases and dementia, women’s health and weight management."

"For the past decade, healthcare in our country has been undergoing significant change, continuing to create uncertainty for physicians and patients alike. Each day, traditional primary care physicians are seeing a growing number of patients, with less and less time to spend with each one. The physician-patient relationship, key to ensuring patient satisfaction and top-quality care, is increasingly at risk.

In 2006, Skypark Preferred Family Care began providing personalized family practice medical care that allows us to put our patients at the center of the healthcare experience, exactly where they belong. The ability to provide personalized, comprehensive family medicine, promptly and in an unhurried fashion, is proving transformative for all. Our patients truly appreciate the gift of more time… for longer office visits, for discussion and collaboration, for a real focus on health and wellness. We are equally gratified to serve as dedicated healthcare advocates, available wherever and whenever we are needed. The vital connection with patients has never been stronger or more meaningful. We believe the promise of concierge medicine is being realized every day, with every visit."
