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.

Very likely! Very comfortable with Dr. Lyons.
The intern working this date was very professional and helpful in describing my x-ray. Shot I received was practically painless.

Left Knee Pain
This was the most organized Physicians office I have even been treated at. Total time I spent at location was 50 mins which included X-rays, consult with Phyician Assistant, and attending Physician S. Lyons MD - unfortunately I have osteoarthritis and will treat currently with injections but will probably need knee replacement down the road. Staff are great and informative - highly recommend.

Only disappointment is I didn’t get to see him.
The PA, Ethan, was excellent. I know that Dr. Lyons is a teaching doctor since I have had his fellows in the past for follow-up visits. Diagnosis was bursitis. Had injection which started making my hip begin to feel better within one day. PT was recommended. Had my first appt today.

Great Work
I just had Dr Lyons do my second knee. The recovery from the first surgery went so well I couldn’t wait to get the other one done. I am 5 days post surgery and have virtually no pain and am walking around on my walker. If your knees are hurting don’t wait, call Dr Lyons now. You will be so happy that you did.

Dr. Lyons is an excellent compassionate surgeon!
Seventeen years ago he did a total right hip replacement on a hip that had complications from a previous surgery. It was successful and I have never had problems. I went to see him today about a knee problem and will definitely trust his expertise.

I had to wait too long for my apt. I did not see Dr. I saw his P A. He was not very friendly and pushed me out of office quickly. I had to explain I had a unispacer and where to give injection. I had questions and he was not very interested in answering them. The first injection did not hurt at all, but this injection was extremely painful. Today was not the best office visit.
