Dr. Gregory L Lyford, MD

Colon test completed. Very Professional anc compentent.

Dr Lyford is what You would hope for in a very competent, professional & personable physician. He spoke with me just prior to my procedure which made me feel more relaxed, his 2 assistive staff were great, explaining things as they prepared me for procedure (Colonoscopy), they answered any questions. The office staff (prior to my procedure) mailed my prep & instruction papers, then called to follow up & make sure I understood them or asked if I had any questions; He spoke w me & my husband afterwards, about his findings (which were favorable in my case): I will require follow-up colon screenings every 3 yrs & hope he is still available to perform them. I highly recommend. As a retired RN, I understand that any delays between patients means that every case is given its own important attention & the unpredictability of findings that can occur w each procedure, requires more or less time needed to do what is needed for a good patient outcome.

Dr. Gregory Lyford didn't show his face at our appointment until an hour and 15 min AFTER my appointment time. He walked in like nothing was wrong and acted downright surprised that I was upset about his tardiness. He explained it away with a pompous laugh by saying, "Doctors run 2-3 hours behind all the time. It could have been worse" and by promising me that he "definitely would be late" for our next appointment. He had labs scheduled for me that day, but when I went down to the lab to have the blood panel done, he canceled all the orders for bloodwork because my Primary Care Physician had requested my records. Very unprofessional and bizarre behavior.

Excellent doctor. Explains procedure and findings in great detail.
