Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I broke/dislocated my elbow after taking a hard fall onto my outstretched hand on the basketball court - what's known as an elbow triad injury - and Dr Lyon repaired it. A week after the surgery, it seems to be on the right track. I'm grateful to Dr Lyon, whom I understand is a very experienced and seasoned orthopedic surgeon, for his professionalism and kind, clear manner before, during and after the procedure. I'd recommend him.

Dr. Lyon successfully performed complicated reconstructive surgery on my elbow. He is highly skilled and experienced. He is very clear and supportive. His office is run in an efficient manner. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Lyon is a true professional who is a superb surgeon. I broke my elbow and Dr. Lyon performed the surgery. I could not have asked for a better surgeon!

I fell and broke my right wrist while rollerskating and I feel so fortunate that I was in the proximity of NYU Langone in Sunset Park and Dr. Lyon!! Dr. Lyon is calm, kind and really skilled. I trusted his knowledge and experience completely. I was clearly nervous waiting to enter the operating room and he soothed me by acknowledging the validity of my fears, while assuring me that I would be ok by saying "I know this is a big day for you, but for me, I do this everyday." I knew I was in the b

Terrible experience, so glad I didn’t rely on this man’s quack, cavalier advice and instead got a second opinion. I would urge anyone considering using Lyon as their caregiver: don’t. My collarbone was misplaced by half an inch with the bone sticking out of my back. dr. Lyon did not recommend surgery. He referred to the bone sticking out of my back as “a bump” and told me that if was experiencing pain, I should have a glass of red wine. Saw 2 other doctors, both recommended surgery.

This is way passed being pathetic. 5 phone calls, three 5-13 minutes holds, and I am still unable to make an appointment. My wife was in the hospital ER, she is in their RIS and EMR and all the secretary is able to tell me after askin 3 times for the spelling f the name and DOB - I can't make an appointment since I can't find you in our hospital system. I called ER and they found her in 5 seconds. I called back secretary and she says that unless I have an exact date of visit there is nothing she
