Dr. Lyles and his medical staff have been rock stars throughout my cancer diagnosis. I couldn't ask for a better team regarding my care. Highly recommend Dr. Lyles for any and all GI issues.
Great physician that actually cares about patients and their well being!
From the moment I walked in, everyone was very friendly. Wait time was minimal. Dr. Lyles took time to listen to me and asked a lot of questions. He immediately wrote orders for necessary tests and sent me home with detailed information and instructions. I highly recommend Dr. Lyles if you are in need of a gastroenterologist!
I was referred to Dr Lyles. His staff is super friendly and helpful. Dr Lyles is very caring and compassionate. He is very knowledgeable. I was given information through the process and kept n the loop. I would recommend Dr Lyles and his staff to anyone.
For a hospital definitely a very good experience. Very professional. Actually listened to my problem did their job and actually found an issue. Made me comfortable, very polite staff. The wait on my c.t results was a little while, but nurses and doctor lyles himself came in to.let me know what was goiing on with apologies for the delayed wait so i was never wondering what was going on. Never thought id say a hospital deserves 5 star but i have to say they were 5 stars.
Convenient location, easy to work with, prompt appointment.
Dr Lyles and Shannon are an amazing team! Can not thank them enough for actually listening to the problems I was having and getting to the root cause of the inflammation. After years of seeing other doctors I finally feel better and less bloated after seeing Dr Lyles.
Very friendly atmosphere here, and I am very pleased with Dr. Liles! He is caring and has great communication skills.
