About Dr. Carlton Lawrence

Dr. Carlton Lawrence, Ryan Health’s newest pediatrician, brings both a global and local view to Ryan Health | Women and Children’s. He was born in Nova Scotia, Canada, and grew up in rural Maine before studying cultural anthropology and pre-medicine at Duke University in North Carolina. He subsequently spent time conducting health equity research in both Uganda and South Africa before completing his Medical Degree and Master of Public Policy at Harvard University. After his medical and policy studies, he moved to New York to complete his pediatric residency at Mount Sinai Hospital, picking the city because, as he says, “You can see the whole world in three blocks.” Dr. Lawrence came to Ryan Health after witnessing the organization’s commitment to reach those often left behind by other healthcare spaces and their dedication to providing evidence-based, equitable, and compassionate care to all. He hopes to bring his passion for adolescent medicine and healthcare advocacy to deepen the organization’s impact. Too often, whether in South Africa or here in New York City, Dr. Lawrence says, our patients feel disrespected and disempowered by healthcare and medical professionals because we fail to listen before we act. “The patients know themselves best, not us, he says. “It’s important to look inward in the medical field. Ryan Health is doing that, and that’s one of the reasons I wanted to be here,” he says. Dr. Lawrence’s policy training taught him to partner with patients to think creatively together to solve their health needs. “Medical problems are not always solved with a prescription,” he says, and providers must work together with their patients and the broader community to combat the larger systems that are too often the root causes of our patients’ symptoms. At Women and Children’s, Dr. Lawrence sees patients daily and runs the weekly Teen Clinic.
