I have seen Dr. Lyon for more than 20 yrs. I wouldn’t even consider seeing anyone else! He is awesome! He is laid back, easy to talk to, takes his time and really listens to any concerns you might have, and I have never had a problem getting in to see him, usually that afternoon or the next day. I credit his knowledge for finding a medical issue I was having that no other specialist, including a cardiologist and a neurosurgeon, could find! He knows his stuff! His PA, Mandy, is great as well. I’ve seen her several times throughout the years if he was out of the office, which is rare! My daughter sees him regularly, and my son has also seen him. We all love him! We feel like he’s family! He’s gotten us all through some rough things over the years. We don’t know what we’d do without him! Highly recommend!

Dr. Lyon is the best. He saved my life! Literally. I was in UK Hospital with a blood clot. Several specialists tried for 5 days to get my blood count under control & couldn’t. We called Dr. Lyon & he convinced them to release me to his care. He had my blood count under control in couple of days. My entire family goes to him. He always takes his time to explain what & why. I have moved to GA but go to KY every month & make my Dr. appointments around my trips.

Dr. Lyon has always accepted my husband and me as we are and never judged us. He has always been kind and patient. If he was pressed for time , he did not show it while he listened to our medical complaints. He has been our doctor for 20 years.
