Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

4 surgeries with success
When I saw Dr Lyon I was diagnosed with subclavian steel syndrome and he was hand picked by another doctor for me. Come to find out I had many other issues going on and in a matter of 6 months I had 4 surgeries to fix these and every one was done successfully with no issues. Two of the procedures were bypass surgeries and besides the pain afterwards that he had no control of they went smoothly. I would 100% recommend him!

Not so wonderful
His rudeness.... basically telling my adult daughter to "shut up " when she attempted to ask the doctor a question. I guess he is very intelligent but quite arrogant. We found him lacking in any compassion.

Dr Lydon was able to remove a tumor located in an area where no biopsies could be done without surgery. I was hoping for a biopsy of the tumor but Dr Lydon was able to remove the whole tumor between 2 main arteries. I am forever grateful to Dr Lydon and his team throughout this whole process. I was scared but he gave me reassurance and support, answering any questions I had. Dr Lydon and his staff visited me everyday for 9 days during my hospital stay. Basically saved my life and forever grateful. 10+ stars for Dr.Lydon !

Top of the charts for bad medicine. He was rude, condescending and insistent on passing me off to another provider while neglecting to provide any evidence or facts to validate his theory.
