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 professional and caring

Highly recommend Dr. Lyon's.
Dr. Lyon's thoroughly review my medical records and answered all my questions in a pleasant manner. He presented the options for my laminectomy spinal decompression and herniated disk solutions. He was always available for my messages as I do not reside in Arizona. I highly recommend Dr. Lyon's. My surgery was done on January 2, 2024 at Mayo Clinic Arizona.

I was in excruciating pain from a ruptured disk at L 4-5, Dr. Lyons was thorough in his explanation about the procedure, and performed my surgery perfectly. He literally gave me my sanity and life back. It's really amazing being strechered into the hospital-couldn't walk, have surgery, walk-out hours after the surgery and pain free!
