Thomas LYONS MD
Obstetrics & Gynecology - Georgia Atlanta

I initially treated with my primary care physician - not Dr. Lyons! I was told my problem was aging, and that I should exercise my sphincter muscles 10 times daily!!! Several months later, I went to my regular ob/gyn, who basicaly misdiagnosed the problem and sent me to the urologist's office, who I overheard in the hallway say, "This is the third misdiagnosed patient in six months they have sent to me." Six months later, after having had Dr. Lyons recommended to me, he diagnosed the "real" problem and a few weeks later, a laproscopic/hysterectomy was performed. The care I received from Dr. Lyons and his entire staff was comforting and genuine. I was back at work in 2.5 weeks and I'm an older person. He DOES walk on water!!!

Dr. Lyons and his staff are exceptional. I traveled to Atlanta twice to have him perform my surgical procedures. He thoroughly outlined all of the options that were specific to my particular case. He and his staff administered such excellent medical care that I now return annually for my routine well-care visit. They were also very respectful and caring.

He is AWESOME. I am so glad I found him. I traveled to Atlanta to have my laparoscopic surgery by him. He is so caring and really listens to what his female patients are saying. I wish all of my previous surgeries had been done by him, because my recovery was about as long as it took for me to come out of the anesthesia!!

I contacted Dr. Lyons via e mail on New year's eve. He called me the next day and spoke to my husband and I for about 2 hours total. He was very understanding and explained things in great detail. I drove to his office in Atlanta and had my laparoscopic surgery for ovary,remnant,cysts and appendix removed. I went home the next day and have not been in any pain at all. I think more women should understand the type of surgery he offers because it means not getting cut open. he also uses a fluid he puts in the abdominal cavity to help prevent scar tissue formation. He and his team were awesome and everyone at the hospital bragged about his work and his work ethics. He educates other docs on the art of this surgery. I would recommend him to everyone.

Incredible surgeon! I researched for weeks and decided to take a leap of faith and drive 4 hours to Atanta. I had a Laparascopic Supracervical Hysterectomy which Dr. Lyons pioneered. I spent only 7 hours at the outpatient facility. Two days later I am back home with only a bit of soreness. Excellent care. This is the ONLY way to have a hysterectomy. Well worth the extra travel. Dr Lyons is the best!

Dr. Lyons was one of the pioneers of the laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy procedure in the 1980s. He has performed over 1500 of these procedures and is very skilled. In addition, he spends a lot of time with his patients, and is available by phone and email when needed. He is a brilliant surgeon and scientist and a warm and caring human being. I feel lucky to have had him as my surgeon. I had a very successful procedure with no complications.
