Dyer MD Weight Loss Surgery Bariatric Center
I had gastric bypass almost one year ago and Dr. Dyer was my physician of choice. I didn't know anything about him prior to the surgery but after reading his biography I choose him because of his acknowlegement of Jesus Christ. My faith is one of the most important facets of my life and it gave me comfort in knowing my doctor and I shared the same faith. Dr. Dyer is a true professional and I was impressed with him from our first meeting. He took his time going over all the details of bariatric surgery and answered any questions I had with patience and care. I never felt rushed during the intital meeting or in any of my followup visits. He is what I would call conservative in his care which is fine with me because I know he has my best interest at heart. I had a slight setback a few days after my surgery and he went to great lengths to take precautions to make sure I received the best care possible. I even tried to bargain with him and he never budged for a minute (I guess that makes him stubborn too which is the only negative I can come up with. LOL!) The office staff is exceptional, as well. It is obvious that the patience and care that Dr. Dyer exhibits trickles down through his staff. While I understand 5 star ratings can be questionable because we all have some area we can work on, I cannot honestly rate Dr. Dyer and his staff any lower than that due to the exceptional care I feel they have provided to me. I am truly going to be sad not to be able to go visit with them every 3 months once I reach my one year mark. By the way, I reached my goal weight at my 9 month visit and I'm so glad I decided to take this journey. Centennial provides you with great opportunities for aftercare so take full advantage of this to ensure a lifetime of good health and continued success after your surgery. Did I mention that Dr. Dyer has become my new favorite doctor?
My name is Jenny and I chose to have gastric sleeve surgery performed by Dr. David Dyer. As a kind gental surgeon, Dr. Dyer keeps your best intrest in mind. He gives his patients all the information needed to make an informed decision on which surgery is best for them and their lifestyle. Dr. Dyer gladly answered all questions and concerns. He guides his patients along the process to better health. I would highly recommend Dr. David Dyer. He is a true asset to Centennial Center Treatment for Obesity. I am sure you will be happy with Dr. Dyer as I still am. Thanks, Jenny

Dr. Dyer has given me my life back! I have tried many times to loss weight and been unsuccessful. However, thanks to Dr. Dyer and the ladies in his office I am becoming more successful everyday. When I first meet Dr. Dyer, he made me feel good about the decision I had made. He walked me through the process and explained what would happen. He was easy to talk to and answered all my questions. While I was in the hospital, he came to see me daily and answered all the question I had. He even made me stay in the hospital extra days to make sure I was 100% ready to go home.He made me feel like my health was his major concern. Since the surgery, he has not stop given me the care I need. He was great with my family and I am glad I choose him as my doctor.

I can truly say I have no complaints about Dr. Dyer or his staff. From the seminar he presented, to the post op treatment I received, he was first rate. Dr. Dyer answered all of my questions (and my wife's) thoroughly and with the utmost patience. Joanna and Robin were also so kind and caring whenever my wife or I called the office with a concern. There is no way I could list everything Dr. Dyer did for me through out this whole process!
I also want to take this chance to thank the entire nursing staff in the Womens Hospital at Centennial. There is no way to name them all, but each and every one was wonderful! We did not have one nurse that wasn't a friend by the time we left.
Thanks to Eloise Bray and Pam Davis for helping me start the whole process and for holding my hand throughout.
My surgery was February the 11th and I have lost an amazing 125 pounds! Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't change one thing about who I chose for surgery and where.
Thank You Dr. Dyer for the changes you have helped me make in my life!
I really liked Dr. Dyer. His staff has been excellent with all my questions. He explained everything well, and made sure that I was ready for this change in my life. They got the approval from my insurance in about 3 weeks. I hope to have a date within a few days.
I had a Gastric Bypass three and a half months ago. I have lost 85 lbs. since then and I haven’t bottomed out yet. After the back pain and being out of breath from activity due to being overweight, I now feel fantastic.
Although I originally consulted with a different doctor in the office, picked via a friend’s recommendation, we were unable to schedule the surgery conveniently. Dr. Dyer’s schedule had an opening at the right time for me and he came into the office that day to consult with me so I wouldn’t have to return for an appointment on a different day. He took the time to fully explain the procedure in detail and on what I should expect post-surgery.
Dr. Dyer again took the time the morning of surgery to speak with me and explain the sequence of events and helped to calm me down when I questioned if I was about to do the right thing. The actual surgery took longer than expected due to issues from a prior surgical procedure, but the bypass was completed laproscopically and prior issues were corrected. Dr. Dyer spoke with my family and informed them why the surgery took so long. Hospital staff was caring and attentive.
Follow-up visits to the office are met with smiling faces from the staff and Dr. Dyer continues to encourage my progress. My experience through the entire program has been great - from the first informational seminar to my most recent followup visit.
I have had no adverse effects from the surgery at all. I wouldn’t tell anyone there aren’t BRIEF moments where you may question your choice and it has been strange to experience this new relationship I have (or don’t have) with food. But to this point, I have absolutely no regrets and I would recommend Dr. Dyer to anyone seeking to create a more healthful life through weight loss surgery.

Dr. David Dyer has my full confidence and my hearty recommendation. He is strict, quite knowledgeable, and interested in his patients. The office staff is always helpful. He does most of his surgery activity at Centennial Women's Hospital (men, too), and most of the caregivers on the bariatric floor have had the procedure, and are most understanding.
I had gastric bypass surgery in February, and have lost 100 pounds. My followup and aftercare have reinfoced everything I learned leading up to the surgery.
Dr. Dyer fully explained the surgery, the risks, and what to expect. He was very thorough and answered each question.
Dr. David Dyer has given me my life back!

My experience with Dr. Dyer has been great. He and his office staff have been very professional and supportive. I would rate him and his staff as excellent and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to get the tools necessary to lose weight. It was the best decision and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Dr. Dyer is a wonderful, compassionate person. The first visit with him was very informative, he never once rushed. He answered every question my husband and I had. He spent over an hour with us! He informed us of the benefits as well as the risks. My surgery was August 11, 2008. Dr. Dyer came in everyday I was in the hospital with a smile and very caring attitude. His office staff is very caring and loving as well. I have dealt with Ms. Joanne the entire time and I just want to say that she is so loving and caring. Ms. Pam, my dietician, you never got tired of hearing from me. I love them all! I would recommend Dr. Dyer to anyone! Love you all, April H
Having had the Roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery in November of 2009, I have lost a total of 75 lbs. and am more pleased than I had expected. My first impression of Dr. Dyer and current impression is of a very caring and competent surgeon. Being an RN, I consider myself a good judge of this. His staff was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend Dr. Dyer to anyone contemplating weight loss surgery.
