Dr. Harvey David Lyons, MD

Dr Lyons is old school. He takes time with each patient to understand the complexities of his patient’s condition and seems to genuinely care for their well being. I’ve been seeing this doctor for over a year for chronic back pain, and he never stops trying to find better ways to mitigate the agony I endure every day just by doing everyday things. I applaud this man for his effort, his dedication, and his personal attention.

He is a bully and incompentent

Waited nearly two hours to see the doctor he was unapologetic the rest of the staff was friendly.

The staff consistently loses paperwork. Paying by credit card for copay is no guarantee you won't be billed later. If there are questions about billing practices, either nobody returns phone calls or staff simply hangs up on you.The doctor wants to see as many patients as possible and will not spend time listening or trying to fully diagnose. He wrote a prescription for a medication and dosage that literally doesn't exist- it took a month of my and the pharmacy's trying to get his office to respond to resolve the issue (during which time I had no medication). I demanded to be compensated for his wasting my time and after two weeks of "thinking about it" I was told it would never happen. I asked for my records according to California law and his office never bothered to respond.
