Dr. Lyons and his staff is great. My only issue was my surgery was scheduled for 2:00 and I checked in at 1:45. I got my numbing shots about 2:20. I never saw anyone and at 3:30, I finally went out into the hallway to look for someone since no one had updated me of the long wait and I thought I had been forgotten. It wasn't a problem to wait if the Dr. was behind, I just should have been updated. To wait way over and hour after my numbing shot was too long to wait without an update.

Check out wasn't good.

Too long of a wait due to over-booking

What a nice caring doctor.

Sorry to see Dr Lyons leave
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/31/2024
The staff have always been wonderful! Appointments have always been within a reasonable amount of time. My only recommendation is as follows. When I am waiting in the exam room for a physician, I should be told if there is a delay or if I will be waiting more than 10 minutes. This gives me ownership of time and can make decisions regarding the time. I understand if it takes longer with another patient or if physician ran late in surgery but just let me know.

Dr. Lyons was a little late coming in. I had a 8:15 am appointment and sat in the room for over 30 minutes.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/12/2023
Greatly appreciate Dr. Lyons and how clearly he explains what is going on with my finger/hand and the options.

Had to wait too long. Then say provider for maybe 10 minutes
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/20/2023
The only negative is that the wait time during my procedure was longer than they said. For something that sounded would take an hour, I was there 2 hrs and 45 min
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/20/2023
Dr Lyons is professional and friendly. I trust his skill and experience. I am so grateful for his care. Note to office manager: He was not aware of the length of time I had to wait for a follow up treatment appointment with him.

Wait was 65 minutes past appointment time. I couldn't get an appointment any sooner than 4 weeks, and then had to wait a long time. No apology from staff.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/1/2023
Very informative and professional. Great office staff and Dr Lyons is the best !!!
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/1/2023
The wait was very long. I had a previous appt at a later time. They called me and wanted me to come in earlier. I did and sat there and waited until My original time came . They finally told me that there had been an immediate person that had to be reseen and that was the delay. I know things happen to put them behind but they should have been better about telling me what happened instead of letting me just sit there.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/31/2023
Dr Lyons was very thorough in explaining what would be done with surgery. Very helpful. Thank you!

My favorite doctor, Chris Lyons. He is courteous professional and kind.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/27/2023
My experience was fine. It just took a month and a half just to get in because of the doctors being overwhelmed. The pain or discomfort because of my issues only got worst in some ways and I knew from past experiences what was needed.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/26/2023
Completely satisfied
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/25/2023
Impressed with how much information was entered into MyChart about visits and medical procedures for me to read and have a record of my medical issues.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/25/2023
Easy scheduling. Wonderful reception personal. Dr Lyons is helpful and through.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/20/2023
Always have been treated well by Dr Lyons... He has taken great care of me and I have no pain in my hand at all.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/20/2023
The wait time was more than an hour, which is unacceptable.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/20/2023
I almost left because the wait was so long in the office. I was there for 45 minutes waiting for the doctor after checking in. I was thinking how can they manage my care if they cannot manage their time. I was real happy with Dr Lyons though, he was very good
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/18/2023
Dr. Lyons is the best

I appreciate the unhurried time Dr Lyons spent with me, answering my questions.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/22/2023
He was very knowledgeable.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/21/2023
The care is always great yet the hour and a half wait is ridiculous. As a former premier employee, i will never understand why providers are on call during office hours. No one even came in during my wait to let me know Dr Lyons was on trauma call and may be running behind. Might be something to consider before requiring on call service from busy providers. Not sure I'll return knowing there is a possibility of another length wait
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/9/2023
Dr. Lyons was a joy to work with, he explained everything, did a great job repairing my hand, and he cared. His support team was also great, caring, and easy to talk with. Would definitely recommend him to others in need of his services.

Everthing went well, Thanks for taking me in, in a timely manner.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/28/2023
Dr.Lyons was great and listened carefully to my issues and offered options. It was hard to book with him- it took a couple of months to get in. The MA who called me back did not look at my chart when calling me back and called me by my middle name which exposed more PHI than necessary.

My grandmother has Dementia so appts can be stressful. The staff and dr were very nice, understanding, accommodating and caring! They offered snacks and water which kept her busy throughout the appointment.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/27/2023
Excellent staff, but long wait times.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/26/2023
The entire staff was warm and welcoming.

The interpreter didn't do well in her job - watching her phone and not carefully listening, answer my question not translate my question. Probably she was in bad mood due to her traffic fine before coming the hospital.

The Doctor and his staff were very friendly and professional
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/12/2023
Dr. Lyons has made me feel comfortable and he explained in details clearly, I was surprised that I broke my thumb, but with the tiny piece floating around in my hand doesn't bother me. He made me feel comfortable during injection in my right hand and im pleased that I didn't feel any pain. I'm definitely keep him as my dr.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/12/2023
Calm, clear and professional. I felt heard and seen, and understood all that was explained to me. I feel comfortable entrusting my care and recovery to this practice and provider.

Although I had to wait 3-4 weeks to get an appt., staff were professional and courteous. Doctor explained diagnosis thoroughly and provided effective treatment in least intrusive manner. Definitely will return as needed!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/16/2023
My only concern regarding my appointment was that I waited in the exam room for almost 45 minutes. My appointment was 3:15 & I was taken right to the exam room. Doctor came in approximately 3:55. Dr. Lyons was very thorough & took time to explain everything to me & go over the xrays with me.

Great experience
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/9/2023
Had to wait 1/2 hour in the examining room before the doctor arrived, but I guess those things happen.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/8/2023
I feel Dr Lyons is more interested in getting as many appts and trying treatments that I've already done without improvement. Yet he wants to do them again, and expecting different results? Hmm. He hasn't shown any true concern about the difficulty I have. I feel very disappointed and I'm not sure what to do.... I feel actually worse after the appointment and I don't have confidence in my Dr, nor the treatment.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/3/2023
Dr. Lyons and his whole team treated me with respect and kindness and gave me valuable information about my medical condition. I felt that I was receiving expert and compassionate care throughout my visit. Well done!

Doc was phenomenal, translating all that doctor speak into plain English. I have a clear path ahead with treatment.

Over all good, but it took all most an hour between nurse check-in and seeing doctor.

Dr. Lyons clearly explained what was likely the cause and treatment options for my trigger finger. Appreciate the time he spent answering my questions. The shot was not as painful as I expected. Initial results are very good.

Dr Lyons is kind, professional, listens well and explains things well

The only negative is, it took to long to see the doctor. From the time of my appointment, it was a whole hour before I saw the doctor.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/5/2023
The staff & Dr. Lyons were all very nice & very professional. Really liked Dr. Lyons. Really liked and appreciated the education that Dr. Lyons provided. He explained things very well & provided treatment options along with the pros/cons of each option. Only dissatisfaction : my appointment was at 3:30; arrived at 3:20; didn't see Dr. Lyons until 4:30. I understand emergencies happen & treating/educating patients takes time. I would NOT want to see Dr. Lyons "rush" through a visit, particularly with a patient with a "new problem", but perhaps the schedule isn't allowing enough time for Dr. Lyons to see his patients?
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/4/2023
Dr was pleasant and willing to discuss, in detail the procedure.
