Dr Lyon is smart, attentive and highly competent. She exudes a quiet authority and it is obvious that the personnel around her have great respect for her. I strongly recommend her.

Dr. Lyon is an extremely good doctor, but waiting to see her is a whole different issue. Don't make any plans to do anything once you get your appointment. I have had to wait over 4 hours to finally have her go in the room. The only reason my mom keeps on going to her is because she is very caring and shows genuine concern for her patients. The wait times need to be improved drastically.

Dr. Lyon has been my retinal doctor for more than 5 yrs. She is very thorough and and listens to and investigates every concern. I was fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Lyon when I had an emergency. I went to her office and was seen within 15 minutes. Fortunately also was that it was not caused by a retinal problem. Dr Lyon referred me to a specialist in thyroid opthalmology. I refer others to Dr. Lyonwith confidence.
