Dr. Lyon is top tier in her expertise, willingness to answer questions, and dedication to patient health. In addition to my own appreciation of her capabilities, I will add here some unsolicited comments stated by patients seated across from me in the waiting room. One stated multiple times that she felt truly privileged to have Dr. Lyon as her doctor, and the other noted that she was highly sought after and despite having a heavy workload, she was willing to take him on as a patient (having treated his wife years ago) and he is very grateful for that.

If I could give Dr. Lyon 5,000 stars, I absolutely would!! I've been seeing her for over five and a half years, and I can't express enough good things about my experience. I first came to Dr. Lyon's office after undergoing surgery for a torn retina. At the time, I saw things quadrupled and could not tolerate any light. My previous doctor hadn't addressed several issues related to my surgery, so I decided to seek a second opinion. I'm so grateful I found Dr. Lyon. She took the time to examine my eyes thoroughly and discovered five different issues, even suspecting I had underlying conditions contributing to my problems. The journey was long, with many appointments, surgeries, and consultations with specialists, but I've never met a doctor as dedicated and caring as Dr. Lyon. Thanks to her efforts, my vision has improved dramatically—from 20/400 to around 20/25-30! I've worn glasses for most of my life and only need light prescription lenses. I can even drive without glasses, which I never thought was possible! What I admire most about Dr. Lyon is not just her brilliance but also her genuine compassion. She always takes the time to answer my questions and ensure I understand everything. If she has concerns, she doesn't hesitate to consult other specialists. My primary care doctor has even asked her for advice about my eye issues to help diagnose other health concerns! I feel fortunate to have Dr. Lyon and her fantastic team by my side. She is truly one of a kind, and I will always be grateful for everything she's done for me. Thank you, Dr. Lyon, for giving me my vision back! I am eternally grateful.

Dr Lyon is exceptional. She is brilliant, caring and thorough. I also had the opportunity to observe her interacting with a resident doctor. Her approach to hands on and observational teaching was extraordinary and clearly very effective. Lucky resident to has such a great memtor! Lucky me to have such a great doctor.

I respect Dr Lyon and trust her for my ophthalmic care. She is well sought after but it does cause 3-4 hours wait time between exams-scans before finally seeing her.

SHE IS ABLE TO 'MULTI-TASK' TO SEE A REASONABLE NUMBER OF PA. IF GIVEN A REASONABLE NO. OF PA. IN A GIVEN TIME PERIOD-- WITHOUT PATIENTS WAITING, WAITING , WAITING A PURELY RIDICULOUS TIME !!! MUST ONE--WE COLLECTIVELY-- GO TO OUR NEARST HOSP. + GET A SPECIALIST THERE. IF SO, WE-- I MYSELF -- WILL DO SO--IT'S A CHOICE EASILY MADE.

Dr. Lyon's expertise and commitment to her patients goes above and beyond what many retinal ophthalmologists would be able to or dedicated to provide. Particularly given the complexity of my case, I am confident that she is considering all aspects and taking paths that have been successful in achieving the best results possible. Her consistent willingness to answer questions is also always appreciated.
