Dr. Robert Alan Lyons, MD

I was assigned to this doctor as a primary care provider for TriCare. I called and obtained an appointment then about 5 days later got a call and they refused to take me as a patient because I allegedly had chronic pain, which he does not deal with. The employee kept changing her store as to what the real reason was for the change. I continued arguing that even if he does not deal with chronic pain he can and all doctors do refer this to a specialist like they do with cardiology, urology, oncology and the like, because they aren't specialists in those areas. They kept arguing that this was his protocol. As a primary care provider this is outrageous and clearly is a form of discrimination against a patient as well as being a veteran who honorably served this country from some 25 years. I am appalled at this provider and his staff. I would not recommend any patient to be seen by this provider. I will pursue a termination of his role with tricare. I will file a formal complaint… with the State, AMA, and other regulatory agency over this matter. I will revise this statement as time goes to let everyone one know what happens in this matter.

Went in to see lyons multuple times over chest pains; he could not diagnose the problem. I then requested a new doctor. She was able to diagnose the problem within 5 minutes.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lyons for about 8 yrs now. I appreciate his gentle bedside manner, his willingness to look at all options for a new issue. He has been treating me successfully for type 2 diabetes during this time and is always very proactive with keeping me on a healthy journey. If you are looking for a good family doctor who is willing to listen to you and to work with you to determine the best path for your health, then this is the Dr. for you and your family.

He is the Primary Care Doctor for my family. I really appreciate his gentle and sensitive bedside manner. He is very open to listening to my ideas and questions and never makes me feel bad about myself. My husband likes him too, he's been a great doctor for our family.
