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.

Dr. Dyer responded to my request for a consultation the same day. I visited with him two days later and he read my MRI images and showed me the images as he went through them. I was referred for a possible spine issue but after viewing the images he couldn't see any blocking of the nerve canal. Dr. Dyer also had a colleague examine my right knee to help determine where the pain was centered. After examination, he referred me to the Charlotte Hip and Knee Center and his referral greatly assisted my being seen the same day as a walk-in. I can't emphasize enough his approach to my care and his follow through with the Hip and Knee Center.

Excellent Visit
Dr. Dyer was thorough in going over my MRI after listening carefully to my presenting symptoms. Transparent, he explored options and explained what he could do to address the etiology of my pain. His care and genuine concern were very apparent.

The Best!
After trying conservative measures to resolve my leg numbness and pain, Dr. Dyer recommended surgery. This highly skilled surgeon was able to take me from pain and immobility back onto the tennis court with minimal pain and recovery time. I am so thankful for his skill and compassionate care.

First meeting
It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Dyer for my first visit. We discussed my options for spine surgery, and after explaining our path forward I was pleasantly surprised of the path we will take. A consummate professional who took the time to study my case, I feel I am in good hands and fortunate to have Dr. Dyer to perform my surgery.

Empatic
Telehealth
Dr. Dyer, is empathetic, who first listens to your annoyances and concerns, dedicates the time to you without looking at his watch so I waited about 1 hour and 15 to see it, but the moment you are with him you are his priority and nothing more. Dr. Dyer has a lot of knowledge and mastery in his area. He tells you about all the options you have according to your medical diagnosis and he is not in a hurry to take you to surgery if it is NOT necessary and if he does not do the type of surgery you need or that is the best according to all your medical history, he suggests another doctor of the same caliber as him. According to all my research that I did on him before seeing him, which showed that he was the best here in Charlotte NC, I can say that he is one of the best, if not the BEST in my opinion. It was worth waiting almost 3 months for my initial visit despite all the pain I'm in.

Best doctor!!!
I have had 2 spine surgeries and luckily I was referred to Dr Dyer. Before my first surgery I was unable to use my arms very well. I couldn’t even pick up a drink. Although it was a long recovery, I got my life back completely. When I had problems with my lower back, I decided not to wait so long to have the surgery. He did an awesome job! I am 3 months out and doing so much better! Dr Dyer is not only an awesome surgeon but a very nice person to talk to. I would definitely recommend Dr Dyer!

Absolutely the best!!
This was a follow up visit after a fusion surgery at L4-5. I have been working with Dr Dyer for years and he always tries the least invasive option first. He is caring, listens carefully and is so personable that he is a “Marcus Welby” to me. Other old folks will get the reference. I simply can’t say enough about his outcomes which have always been excellent. “Nuf said”

A family friend recommended Dr.Dyer to me. Dr. Dyer was very informative to my options and after choosing to go forward with surgery, I could not have been more pleased with the results. He is a very understanding and goes the extra mile with his approach to his patients. I could recommend him to anyone that falls in his specialties.

Excellent Physician!!
I have been seeing Dr. Dyer now for about 30 years relative to my back issues. Over all these years the level of care I have always received has been outstanding!! You might think that over this long of a period of time the level of care might have decreased, NOT one bit. Dr. Dyer cares about his patients and always spends whatever time needed to discuss your particular medical needs. I have highly recommended him over the years and will continue to do so!!Mark Jarvis

I love this crew headed up by Dr. Dyer. Dr. Dyer is an extremely knowledgeable efficient and pleasant doctor. His bedside manner is wonderful. After my research I waited 2 months to have Dr. Dyer perform my surgery (And I was in excruciating pain). I am so thankful that I did. I cannot imagine not having had Dr. Dyer and his staff care for me. IMO you will not regret visiting with Dr. Dyer having his expertise in taking care of you.
