Dyer MD Weight Loss Surgery Bariatric Center

I first met Dr. Dyer at one of his groups seminars. I found help very professional and matter of fact in his approach to his pratice. During the process which involved the 6 months diet asked for by my Insurance I was in touch with his staff. When we finally finish the jump thru the hoop for insurance and my doctor faxed over the information needed his staff moved quickly. My doctor had left out some info, they called that day and we made the corrections. I had an answer on insurance within 5 days. I went for my office visit on Oct. 30th, started my liquid diet on Nov. 4th and had surgery on Nov. 19th.rnThe surgery went well and stayed within the time frame presented in our meeting. The method of care having one RN that met my needs was wonderful. I had competent nurses that kept my wife , who is a nurse also, informed of my care plan and any changes that took place. I had a problem with high BP for a couple of days, which was due to pain and was something I was afraid of before surgery.rnOn my next visit back to Dr. Dyer he cotinued to address the aftercare and nutritional needs for my sucess. This was reinforced by visits with his staff to cover every area of my after care. I know that the surgery is a tool and combined with the other treatment efforts provided by Dr. Dyer and his staff I will succeed. Dr. Dyer is a competent and concerned physician. He is a matter of fact person so he will stress the process of following the plan as the means of how well you will do.

I have been trying to get my surgery for about 5 years. I already had Dr. Dyer choosen, before the approval was well in sight. rnFor me it had gotten to the point of not being able to breathe. Even to do simple tasks (ie, shower, laundry and so on) . This for me was not only WLS - it is a LE (life extension).rnrnJust wanna simply say \"thank you.\" Thank you, Dr. Dyer to you and you helpful and wonderful staff. rnrnI had my RNY performed on 11/25/2008 at Cent. Women's Hospital. Everyone and I mean everyone was wonderful. I have never been so well taken care of before. Dr. Dyer's post oprnaftercare was wonderfull as well. Especially, since I was there til 11/28/2008 (Yes - the day after thanksgiving.) WOW ! rnrnAgain, I wanna thank you Dr. Dyer and your staff for giving me another chance at the rest of my life. rnrnHappy Holidays, rnrnKarina Williamson

Friendly, easy to discuss process with Dr. DyerrnVery thorough with possible complications of surgery & what procedure would be done to try to solve the complication. Office staff was friendly and supportive. He is very dedicated,rnworked long & hard to do surgery laproscopicrnwhich turned out to be 8 hours on me due to scarring from earlier surgeries. He emphasizes that you need to do what he says for the best result after surgery. There are a rnnutritionist, exercise physiologist,office staff-allrnvery supportive & willing to answer questions.rnYou have an owner's manual to gastric bypassrnwhich is very well designed and informative.rnOver & over he addresses the patient's risk for the surgery, possible solutions to complications, & how surgery could improve your life. How would I rate him---well, I traveled 435 miles round trip to have him as my surgeon. A friend who had the surgery with Dr. Dyer recommended him highly. He was all the friend had told me. As for the surgical competence, it is great. Most surgeons probably wouldn't have stayed with me 8 hours so I wouldn't have to have the full rnregular open incision with longer recuperation time. As for bedside manner, he would sit down with you and spend some time with you asking questions about how things were going.rnHis time with me prior to surgery, the outcomernof the surgery, bedside manner, and follow up visits have all been handled in a caring manner.

Dr Dyer is a really great surgeon. My first impression was OMG he is so straight by the book and point blank (During the seminar and at the beginning of first office visit). I was afraid he was not going to be someone I would be able to communicate with openly. However, my first pre-op office visit he was so imformative and knowledgeable. He took time to ensure I was comfortable with my decision and understood everything that I was about to undertake. Dr Dyer was very honest with me about the risks of the surgery and what I could expect following the surgery. This was the point I realized how much I respected the straight forward no sugar coating approach, and gained a trust that he would be honest with me either good or bad. Dr Dyer's staff are nice and friendly, they have been open and honest and easy to talk to during my experience. Dr Dyer puts a large emphasis on aftercare and even makes it a part of every follow up appointment. I thought 7 years about this surgery and believe that after the soreness and first few weeks of post op stiffness reside this will have been one of the best decisions I have made.

My first impression of Dr. Dyer was that he was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the various bariatric surgeries and a very approachable man. He addressed all of our questions regarding every aspect of the surgerys, recovery times - everything. He is amazing! The day of my surgery I was so nervous - he has a very calming presense about him. I was immediately put at ease when he came to me in the pre surgery area - he calmed me and I was ready!! rnrnAfter the surgery he came to me again in thue recovery room and asked if I had any questions - of course my mind wasn't working quite yet so the only question I had was - where is the port? He grinned and showed me where to find it. He went to find my partner and told her how it went and relieved her stress about the surgery. His bedside manor was awesome!rnrnMy first appointment was a couple of days ago. I lost a total of 18 pounds! My incisions are doing great. Most of the butterfly stiches are almost gone and I have started eating chopped foods - I was so excited! After being on a liquid diet for two weeks - I am sure you can imagine! We wore our college tshirts to the appointment. He is an Ole Miss fan! He made sure I knew that Ole Miss was the only team that has beaten the Gators!!rnrnHis office has a structured after care program also! There are dieticians, exercise people and the office staff was amazing with answering all the questions about insurance and times for appointments. They are amazing there! I would definately recommend Dr. Dyer to anyone that is interested in having this surgery! rnrnThe only thing negative I can come up with is that the surgery time was not communicated. I knew the date - but didnt know what time I was to be there until the day before when I did the preadmit at the hospital. rnrn

I saw Dr.Dyer yesterday for my 1 week follow up post op. I am very happy with choosing him for my surgeon. He is very professional and knows what he is doing. He showed me where my port is, because I was too afraid to push and check. I am healing very well and already losing. The morning of my surgery he stopped by after my IV was placed. I teared up right when he walked over and all he had to do was smile. I felt a lot better. The anesthesiologist put me out about 2 minutes after that. I woke up and he had already talked to my family. I went home that night, even though I was groggy. Everyone took very good care of me. I meet with him again in 3 weeks.

As of End Sept 08, Office staff seems wonderful and willing to help. Have heard so many good things about my doctor, Only seen him once and am still deciding what I think. He went over all the procedures and the ins and outs of surgery, explained the aftercare program. I seem to think that he will be wonderful on the competence and bedside manner in which I think both are needed to make a great doctor. rnrnNow, here it is 11-13-2008 and my surgery was Oct 29th, 2008. Dr. Dyer is kind of quite to me... but I believe it is because I am still shy. It takes me a while to really open up to someone and I think that in time we will have great communications. The office staff is still very helpful and willing to listen and answer any questions that I have. So far I have not found any thing to not like about Dr. Dyer. He knows his work and is very good at what he does and is willing to talk or listen to anything you have a problem with. He stresses aftercare all the time and stresses that you stick to the program that has been laid out before you. I could not of chosen a better doctor for this surgery, or a better office staff or Hospital. And if all things are going well, he praises your effort and accomplishments. I can't wait to continue my follow up with all of them.

When I first met Dr. Dyer I was terrified. I had heard so much about him. I was thinking before I went in that this man has the power to decide whether I live or die from my obesity. A friend from my online support group went with me(who is one of his patients) and he knew her well because of what a success story she has been so I felt a level of comfort there. Dr. Dyer took a long time with me to explain every surgery and we talked about my options considering some of the road blocks I was facing. He was kind, pleasant and he has a dry sense of humor which I tend to appreciate. All in all I have had a wonderful experience so far and I look forward to getting to know him a bit better as time passes.....He has a great support sytem set up for his patients. I couldnt have been more impressed with the center and all it offered the patients post op from support groups, a nutritionist who is wonderful, an exercise physiologist and a program director named Kathy Hungerford who I think just hung the moon!! Everyone has been so supportive and helpful and no question I ask is ever wrong. I was denied my first time and failed my psych eval but they were wonderful in supporting me and being available whenever I needed them even though I was not a patient yet....One of Dr. Dyers patients told me that he prays before surgery everyday which gives me so much comfort....So far I give Dr. Dyer and the Centennial staff a 10 overall!!! They have been amazing!!

The first impression I had of Dr. Dyer was I am glad I chose him. He took his time and explained the different surgery's with me and my husband and let me know all the risk that where involved . Dr. Dyer allowed me to ask questions and was very patient to answer them all. He has a great staff that treats you so respectfully,very friendly staff. I was so impressed with not having to set in the waiting room , waiting to get back to see the Dr. , I have never been to a Dr. with this much organization in my life. Dr. Dyer has great bedside manners on emphasizes on the patient totally.He was very polite to my family and informative during surgery. On the scale to 1-10, he definitely is 10 in my book.

I was very impressed with Dr. Dyer at the seminar I attended. After the seminar I did a little futher research and decided he was the one that I wanted. He is very knowledgable and doesn't sugar coat things which is what I like. The office staff at Dr Dyers has been wonderful and some of them have had WLS so they understand what I am going through. I would recommend Dr Dyer to anyone that is thinking of having surgery. He expects you to follow the rules and gives good guidelines so you know what you are suppose to be doing. Dr. Dyer and his staff stresses getting aftercare strongly. The journey doesnt end after the operation is over. Dr. Dyers surgical record is outstanding, and I did get him to crack a smile a couple of times. Overall, I am very pleased with my experiences so far.
