08/29/2024

He was great!

06/05/2024

Dr Lyons had reviewed my records as did I. Smooth process.

03/05/2024

As I said earlier Dr. Lyons is incomparable as a neurologist! I have seen many, and none compare to him! He has managed my neuromuscular disease for almost 20 years with outstanding results!

02/20/2024

Dr Lyons was just kind of in & out and didn’t really explain what would happen when I left.

02/07/2024

Dr. Lyons was very professional. He listened carefully, asked questions and did a thorough examination. He ordered quite a few blood tests and an additional test with follow-up. I feel I will get good medical care with this doctor. Everyone else was extremely friendly and welcoming. It was a pleasure to be there.

02/06/2024

Dr. Lyons was very professional. He listened carefully, asked questions and gave me a thorough examination. He took plenty of time with me and seemed to listed carefully to what I had to say and my concerns. I would have like him to have been a bit friendly but I wasn't there to make friends. Everyone else was extremely friendly and made me fee welcome. I think I will get good care from this physician.

01/25/2024

Regrets that insurance company demands keep me from continuing with this 10 year very satisfactory health provider. I should choose my caregiver not the insurance company! I will return to Dr Lyons as a private patient if needed.

I would have appreciated more time spent discussing options for therapy.

09/13/2023

He released my emg procedure notes and findings under a media tab that is not available for my viewing on EPIC MY CHART. I should be able to read my results and now who knows when I will hear anything about my procedure results and recommendations!

My insurance required me to change providers for two years, and my new doctor was very good, but coming back to Dr. Lyons eased my anxieties about my health a great deal.

12/12/2022

No additional comments.

11/12/2022

It was fine.

11/04/2022

Your Office Personnel need better training in handling patients and their appointments. And your online communication with the patients needs significant improvement!

10/13/2022

A very personable and caring woman.

09/26/2022

Very experienced, patient, showed concern and wasn’t in a hurry to move on to the next patient. So very pleased with our visit and appointment that day.

08/09/2022

I always feel Dr. Lyons gives me plenty of time, listens to all my concerns and like I said before his advice it’s always good

08/08/2022

should have referred me sooner to the doctor that would be doing more surgeries. If I would have scene them first they would have ordered my EMG differently to test more areas.

08/05/2022

It would be nice to have a provider that wanted to explore my history and my progression so we could find the best long-term treatment plan. The doctore didn't even want to see the previous treatment documentation and images that I brought with me to the appointment.

08/04/2022

He was professional

08/04/2022

Have an appointment to see another neurologist at another location.

07/17/2022

Dr. Lyons and his Nurse were amazing! They were kind as they walked me through what to expect with my EMG. They were very friendly and personable. The nurse let me know when Dr. Lyon a was held up for a minute, they are a great team!

06/22/2022

Dr. Lyons is the best doctor I have ever been to. That is why I have been seeing him for nearly 30 years.

When I did MD he was great.

05/19/2022

Good.

05/11/2022

Good experience with doctor. Very thorough physical exam.

05/06/2022

Dr.Lyons is a good listener and concerned about my medical issues. I appreciate his ways, wish there were more doctors like him,

05/04/2022

I've complained on multiple visits about headaches post cataract surgery last [date]. Doctor Lyons has yet to answer or address them in any noticeable way and instead focuses on my extremities. He sent a note to my primary care physician that was supposed to show that one of my medications should be bumped to three times per day. He sent a note, but only that I take the meds two times a day. What? Yes, he did agree to schedule a test for carpal tunnel, and after some discussion for an MRI about my concerns for a flare-up. However, the MRI was only ordered after I repeatedly stressed my concerns about being In the midst of a possible flare-up. His vocal and body response (non-verbal) to the problem with my hands was dismissive and about the pain that I was having. Like no big deal. I'm really growing to not like this guy. His nurse Is completely fine and does a great job, he on the other hand is not good around patients.

04/27/2022

The provider seems very knowledgeable.

04/26/2022

*Dr. Lyons is thorough, attentive, professional & kind.

04/18/2022

We talked about my illness and any options we would need to look at in future.

04/11/2022

A smile, introduction, thank you for choosing St. Al's today. How can I help you today? It was nice to meet you, thank you and look forward to our next time visit...etc.

04/10/2022

My experience with the staff was good .

04/10/2022

Dr. Lyons explained about the test. I experienced pain during the test and he was very patient. He appreciated what the test results would indicate fir me. He also knew about my condition, a condition that is experienced by only 1% of the world's population. I expressed that I feared people thought I was psychosomatic, yet he assured me that I was nit, that my condition and symptoms were real, which meant a lot. He explained the test and every part of the test. He was gentle and kind, and appeared to be interested in me more than the test. This was the first time that I met Dr Lyons and I would highly recommend him!

04/09/2022

First time visit and the team explained what and how they would conduct the test.

04/05/2022

The staff was very professional and compassionate to my needs that day.

04/05/2022

After talking to me for 5-10 min. and sticking some pins in my feet and watching me walk 10 ft. and not commenting when I lost my balance. He then told me that there was nothing wrong with me. He said I should stop seeing so many drs. - that I was just looking for trouble and I should just go home. He was dismissive and condescending!

04/04/2022

There was no need for me to go in for an appointment. A phone call or letter or email would have been fine. I don't drive so I have to arrange for a ride there & back.

03/26/2022

Very informative

03/22/2022

Dr. Lyons seems interested in how I am progressing after my stroke. When I have an appointment he will make suggestions on items I mention that to be improved.

02/21/2022

Very pleased

02/17/2022

*Dr. Lyons is always easy to discard things w/and understand. I know my needs are important to him.

02/07/2022

*Dr. Lyons is always responsive to my needs.

01/25/2022

*Dr. Lyons is a jewel - I appreciate him so very much and refer folks to him often.

01/24/2022

During visit Doctor Lyons was completely dismissive, rude, and downright demeaning of my symptoms, including those of his colleague of Dr. Wynn's MS diagnosis and cause of optical nerve damage. Made snarky comments while doing some tests in his office such as pointing to my noise, which I literally couldn't do with my right eye, which I've been having problems with since eye surgery last November 'You can do this in your sleep'. The pinprick test that I genuinely could not feel on my left arm, but according to him should have been 'easy, it's not supposed to hurt real bad. Can you feel It or not?'.My wife was there for the visit and had the same observation. I cannot completely convey my distain for this medical professional. Will be calling the office soon to see if someone else at that location can take over.

01/24/2022

Dr. Lyons is always caring, professional, and kind.

11/23/2021

Very good.

10/22/2021

Just wished doctors were like they use to be.

10/20/2021

Good experience!

10/16/2021

Excellent. Dr Lyons is always concerned about my physical and mental health. He makes me feel comfortable to talk to him, his patient relationship is well above.

10/15/2021

Questions were answered and it was a very good appointment.

10/05/2021

*Dr. Lyons was leaving the room - I mentioned that I was getting a hearing aid. *Dr. Lyons was very _____ hearing this! He considered this very important re: The test question. This could be a big deal by feed back, with memory recall.

09/23/2021

All went well.

09/22/2021

Got more clarity of when to call him and when to call PCP.

09/22/2021

The doctor was very respectful & listened to what I had to say & the medicine was working fine with me.

09/15/2021

Dr. Lyons listened to (and answered) all my questions and was thorough and attentive, and the nurse and receptionist were also kind and professional.

09/10/2021

Great provider, caring and knowledgeable.

08/24/2021

We like *Dr. Lyons - to the point - great doctor -

07/09/2021

He was very kind & helpful, answering all my questions.

06/28/2021

Someone failed to get pre-authorization fro Botox prior to our long drive, so, it was basically, a wasted trip except we did get to see & talk with the doctor.

06/24/2021

*Dr. Lyons is the best neurologist I have been associated with over the course of my 13 years of coping with multiple sclerosis. *Dr. Lyons is the 5th doctor that has treated me: Two were in Michigan and three here in Idaho. I have great confidence in *Dr. Lyons.

06/23/2021

It was like my other visits several years ago when I was recovering from a PRES. Dr. Lyons was very easy to talk to and never seemed in a hurry. He listensed carefully and gave me complete answers to my questions. I hope I won't need to see a neurologist again, but it's comforting to know I could see him if necessary.

06/18/2021

My care physician provided me with an excellent medical visit.
