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.

Immediately got appointment from her for neurology tests recommended by another doctor. She was my dr years ago for some anatomical issues. Very professional and helpful. Happy to find her in Aiken.

Dr. Lyon is thorough and listens to me. One of my favorite things about Dr. Lyon is that she accepts my decisions even though we may not agree on treatment. She is very knowledgeable in her profession and yet she is kind and does not talk down to you.

She was very dismissive. Told me that I needed to treat mental issues and stress. I will definitely seek a second opinion.

Dr Lyon is one of the most compassionate, caring, thorough, and helpful doctors that have ever helped me with my migraines or any issues in general. She adds a personal touch to her care and treatment!! I would recommend Dr Lyon to anyone because she takes the time to listen and she really hears what you say! She values patient input!!

She listens and works WITH you! Kiara at the front desk is also amazing. BEST Neurologist in the CSRA. I have seen most of them in the area in my 20 years being here. She is more helpful than the MS Clinic in Augusta ever was.

A lot of attitude and unprofessionalism in the office. No help at all. I might as well have flushed my co-pay down the toilet.

I found Dr. Lyon to be very condescending and considered my visit with her a waste of time. I was referred to her for possible chronic migraines. During the less than 15 minutes I saw her, she focused more on criticizing and questioning my current medications and NEVER really addressed my concerns. I also tried to discuss my fibromyalgia with her to which she replied was only a catch-all diagnosis given when no real problem can be found and wasn't even a valid condition.

Dr. Lyon is my most favorite Dr. She takes the time to listen and understand my situations. She explained very well why and how my physical being works. She is very sensitive to my needs. She does everything she can to keep me Paine free when no other dr. Would take the time with me. I sincerely treasure her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great Doctor.
