Dyer MD Weight Loss Surgery Bariatric Center
My first impression of Dr. Dyer was that he had his preop speech down pat. He had probably said it thousands of times. However, he still made me feel special. I asked a million questions and he did not rush me. I appreciated that. I feel that he is truly a caring person. His bedside manner was excellent. He emphasizes aftercare greatly. His office is very thorough in addressing any problems you may be having. They have answered crazy questions over the phone that I have had to ask. Their office staff are truly professional and make you feel welcome. Overall, my experience has been a great one. I would recommend Dr. Dyer to anyone who is fat and miserable as I was. I am only 40 pounds from my goal and I see it in sight. I wouldn't trade anything for my RNY. rnrn
My first impression of Dr Dyer was that he was really quiet and reserved but I soon found out he was accessible and caring and that he was a great surgeon. I am 6 years post op and have done exceptionally well. I had to have a repair 2 years out but have not had any ongoing complications. Knowing what I know now, I would absolutely still have the surgery again. My quality of life is so much better with the results that I achieved with the rnsurgey. I was able to have 2 beautiful children. I was told that my weight prohibited a successful pregnancy for me. I am just so grateful that I had this surgery and inmy opinion Dr Dyer was and is a wonderful physician.
I was a little intimidated by Dr.Dyer when I first met him,but as I talked with him,I realize my impression of him was wrong,he was actually very nice,he doesn't smile very much but he is rather nice.His office staff is very nice and helpful too.He's a good Doctor,but he will tell you when your not losing enough weight like you should so if your snacking you need to stop before it gets out of hand.He will firmly tell you everything you need to know about the surgery,I rate Dr. Dyer as being the best surgeon I know for this type of surgery. I recommend Dr.David Dyer to anyone looking for a bariactric surgeon. He's the best in every way.
My first meeting with Dr. Dyer was a social one. It was at a retreat banquet that the Yahoo Group put together called L2L the first one ever in 2007. I'm sure the first of many. And his wife Nina was with him. My impression of him was that he was a very caring and compassionate man. But, when him and her came to the hotel the next morning, that even surprised me more. (He was the ONLY Dr. from the center that came.) He had breakfast with us and sat through the morning sessions. He's very much like us....very comfortable!!! My second encounter with him was the Walk from Obesity and he was with his wife again and I got the same response. I am just very comfortable around him. I even felt comfortable enough to give him huggs. He seems really proud of the progress that you as a person are making individually. And I really do like that. My third encounter with him was at my consult. He was very professional there. He talked about all the procedures with me in detail, like at the seminar. Waited on me to ask any questions that I might have. He knew that I was very active in the online support group, so he encouraged me to go to Dr. Frye's groups and I told him that I attended several support groups and he was glad of that. I am so glad I got him as a surgeon. I didn't pick him, he was the one that my insurance chose for me, but he was the answer to my prayers. His wife Nina was also in the waiting area when I first arrived and she remembered me. She came up to me and started talking to me. I was very impressed with that, that she remembered me and thought I wouldn't remember her. Very nice couple...seem to care a lot about you as individuals.
I am a 58 year old female who has recently had a gastric bypass. I am NOT obese but had severe reflux disease. I have had 2 failed reflux surgeries and was a high risk for esphogeal cancer. My Internist referred me to Dr. Dyer to see if a gastric bypass would be the answer. When I went to see Dr. Dyer,he spent a very long time with me discussing what could be done and the risks and benefits of a gastric bypass. He felt that a bypass would be the answer to my reflux problems. He spent time answering my questions and never made me feel like He was in a hurry.( I have to admit thought I think I threw everyone in his office off because I was not obese). Dr. Dyer is a very caring and compassionate person. His office personnel has been very helpful and understanding. I am now 2 weeks post op and have had No reflux for the first time in almost 30 years. Dr. Dyer has been my life saver and hopefully now I can live a more normal and healthy life because of Him. THANK YOU DR. DYER.rnrnrn10/22/07rn I am now 6 months post- op after a gastric bypass for reflux and feel great. I have lost 54 lbs since my surgery(I was NOT obese when I had my surgery)I have been a diabetic for 20 years and have been on a Insulin pump and high blood pressure medication since I was a teen. Last week my Internist took me off my insulin pump and my hypertensive medication. I feel like a new person. I have not had any reflux since my surgery and have now been able to sleep through the night without being awaken with the acid.rn Dr. Dyer is a lfe saver and I have the greatest regards for him and his staff who have helped me through some rough times in the beginning. I will never regret having the surgery.THANKS DR. DYER.
I had already heard of Dr. Dyer through a friend who had already had the surgery. When I went to the seminar about the surgery Dr Dyer was the one speaking at the seminar. I knew then and there that I wanted him to do my surgery. All the way through the process of the surgery the office staff and Dr. Dyer was there to answer any questions I had and give me all the assistance that I needed. During the surgery I got the best care you could ask for at Centennial Medical Center. After the surgery I again got all the assistance I could ever ask for from Dr. Dyer and his staff with everything from personal nutrition plans to personal exercise plans and every kind of medical test that was necessary. I wouldn't have had the surgery with any other doctor other than Dr. Dyer and I would highly recommend him to anyone that needed the surgery. Before the surgery I weighed 332 pounds and my health was very bad. Now I weigh 189 and I am in excellent health. The surgery was a life saver.
Dr. Dyer has been great! He is very professional and kind. He doesn't sugarcoat anything; which I prefer. He is a supportive doctor and his staff is top notch. I would recommend anybody who is going to have this surgery to definately see Dr. Dyer. His office works closely with a very structured aftercare program that he strongly encourages. I have yet to attend any of these programs, so I cannot speak for them. rnDr. Dyer was very clear and consitant about the risks of surgery, he took extra care to ensure that I was aware of everything that could possibly happen. I don't think that I could rate Dr. Dyer but I will tell you that I wouldn't go to any other surgeon for anything if I didn't have to. There is not anything that I have come across that he has not been absolutely great about!
Dr Dyer is great, very friendly and forthcoming. He just says it like it is. He has helped a lot of family, with my aunt/grandmother's breast cancer and my cousin's weight loss surgery 5 yrs ago and now mine on 9/20-down 15 lbs already 10/11.rnHe stresses aftercare and how important support groups are to you and your future success.rnRobin in the office is very helpful.
My first impression of Dr. Dyer was that he was to the point and made sure that this surgery was right for me. He is a great person and a great surgeon. He answer all my questions that I had was very patience with me. I would recommended Dr Dyer to anyone to wants to feel relax and confident that they are making the right choice for themselves. He very very emphasize on aftercare, and it is very important to anyone who has this surgery. Aftercare is just another tool of losing the weight. The aftercare program is the best thing you can have after having surgery it is a very very must thing. Dr. Dyer discussed all the risk with me before surgery and the risk after surgery. Show me pictures of what was going happen, how he is going to do it and always ask me if I had any question. Made it clear that I knew what was going to happen. You can never ask him to many question that he will not be willing to answer every question you have. Dr. Dyer is a outstanding person and surgery. Most doctors are in and out when go to the doctor, not Dr Dyer. Dr Dyer took the time with me while in the hospital and all the visit to his office to answer all my questions and conserns if I had any. Dr Dyer is a great surgery and his beside manner is excellant. I could not have prayed for a better person to take me on my journey!
My first impression of Dr Dyer was very proffesional and at the same time very caring,good bed side manner even for a surgeon! rnFrom day one till now which is 1 month out my impression hasn't changed, if anything I have grown to really respect Dr Dyer based on talking to other patients and also talking to other patients who did not see Dr Dyer or the other Dr's in the practice. Ive heard horror stories and I've heard stories of Dr\"s not doing a good follow up and teaching the patients correctly on there new life changing proceedure.rnDr Dyers staff is fantastic they all have gone above and beyond for me. My first day ther i was very nervouse and Joanna made me feel right at home and took all my anxiety away she was extremley pleasent.rnDr Dyers after care program is very well thought out it covers evey area of wieght loss such as dietician,exersise therapyst,weekly support groups(on-line or in person)and even a psycologist.rnDr dyer was very to the point about the risks of surgery. He explained every risk in great detail and answered every question I had.rnI would rate Dr dyer and his staff 10 out of 10 that is the Gods honest truth!!!!!rnWhen looking for a Dr surgical competence is always first priority of course. how ever when you get a surgeon with surgical competence and bedside manner it always a bonus,and thats what you get when you sign on with DR DYER!!!!!!!!rnrnChristopher J Watkins [email protected]
