6 years ago I believed I had reached the end of my life! I was in my mid40’s and had spent 3 years in the most horrific and intense fight trying to survive “ The most Extreme Case of Mesenteric Ischemia ( Dr. James Mann Senior Attending Physician ofGastroenterology at UVA Hospital ), had ever seen “ ** Dr. Mann had been practicing in the specialty of Gastroenterology for over 45 years!*** Sadly,( for me), he retired just months after taking on my most exhausting/complicated case. I was turned over to another physician ( much... read more

Dr. Lyons is an exceptional neurologist. He is compassionate and patient, treating you like he would his own family. He is well sought after and has a busy schedule so you may wait a while for your appointment but he’s worth it. My husband has a complicated case and he has gotten no where with other neurologist. Dr. Lyons has been the best we’ve seen and he has went above and beyond giving him the best care available. I highly recommend him.

my husband finally got an appointment after waiting 2 months. He arrived for his appointment that had been scheduled for 2 months. They made him wait 3 and half hours. My husband was having severe insomnia, anxiety, confusion, struggling to function. He was concerned he might have a brain tumor. We went to neurologist hoping for a brain mri. The dr ordered it wrong. Our insurance denied it. I called several times asking dr Lyons secretary to please have him order under the right codes so our insurance would accept. She kept ... read more

Dr. Lyons is my mother's saving grace. After a lifetime of seizures and meds not being enough anymore for her, he suggested she have surgery to remove a portion of her brain that was the source of the seizures. While we were all very scared we decided it was the best thing for her. The surgery was a success and, knock on wood, she's never had another seizure. I agree that you do sit in the waiting room for a while waiting for him, but it's because he gives each patient all the time they need to talk to him, ask him questions... read more

Final portion of review. So, after conceding to death because someone told me I had no choice and giving up on ever having a future. I am ecstatic to report that because of Dr. Lyons and his commitment to personal excellence, that I am now back to working as an RN fulltime in the NICU. Many practitioners have forgotten the very principles of which Medicine was founded on. They commit a huge injustice to the patients they serve. Dr. Lyons is a "Real-Life" Dr. House. He's not afraid to step out of the box, he's confident in hi... read more

Thinking I FINALLY found a good provider NOT. His staff from the front, back and management are RUDE and unprofessional. By the end of this patient/doctor relationship I was dismissed without notice (on my drive to the appt 1.5 hours away) by "Dr. Lyons", because I decided that brain surgery was not an option I wanted. His manager nor himself have discussed this decision with me and refuse to return calls. Guessing I was just another number on his operating table. Totally unprofessional!

After hearing much praise from the local TV stations I contacted the office for a second opinion for a family member with intractable epilepsy. I was given conflicting information from staffing. Staffing did not return calls or show caring. Dr. Lyons per staffing never responded as well. Definitely not the amazing caring practice described or put forth in newspapers and news.
