TriStar Centennial Medical Center Hospital

MY first impression of Dr. Dyer was excellent! I have never had a doctor take so much time with me to really explain what my surgery entailed. He was so very thorough and answered all questions completely. He checked in on me continually while I was in the hospital. He is very concerned and truly cares about his patients and their recovery and success. I would truly recomment him without any reservation to future patients and already have. He has a very good after care program, we are monitored on a regular schuleded basis. As far as which is better surgical competence, bedside manner, I believe both are important to instill trust and Dr. Dyer does this very well. He definitely gets a five star rating in my book.rnrnDonna McCluskey

DR. DYER WAS A VERY STRIGHT AND UP FRONT ON ALL THE PRO AND CON OF THE SUGERY. HE TOLD ME EVERYTHING FROM THE GOOD TO THE BAD THINGS THAT WOULD HAPPEN,BAD MEANING IF I DIDN'T FOLLOW THE RULES.HIS STAFF WAS GREAT . .DR.DYER WAS VERY NICE.YES THEY DO HAVE A AFTER CARE PROGRAM.OVER ALL HE WAS A GREAT DOCTOR.I THINK BEDSIDE MANNER IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Dr. Dyer is a great surgeon, and his office staff are the best. He is very straight forward, tells you exactly what to expect from the start to the end. He goes thru the complications that may or may not happen, gives you plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The office is set up to make you feel extremely comfortable no matter what your size, never did I feel that I was the lone fat person they were treating. Dr. Dyer and his nursing staff always made me feel like I mattered. His surgical competence is great, He is extremely cautious and wants what is best for the patient. His bedside manner is somewhat reserved, he talks and listens to you but is direct and to the point.

I can not say enough to convey my overwhelmingly good opinion of Dr. Dyer. The first time I met him was very business like and to the point as he wanted to make sure that I knew the \"un-candycoated\" risks involved in the surgery I was about to have. After that it was almost like I was one of the family and his sole concern was about my needs and what was best for me. I was not expecting that from a surgeon working at such a large hospital. He was there before, during and now after the surgery for me. I also want to thank his wonderful staff for the care and overall warm feeling you get from them. These people are top notch!

My first thought of dr dyer was how he told me excactly how it was all going to be The more i was around him the more i liked him His staff was always very nice to me and always very helpful i liked every thing about him never found a thing about him i did't like future patients should feel very lucky to get him as a dr he looked after me so far very good he always ask me if any thing i need to know and he takes time to explain it all to me he told me all about the risks and explained it very good to me he is a excellent dr i can not praise him enough If you are so lucky to get him you are in wonderful hands i can only tell you he has saved my life my over all health is getting so much better already and it has only been 4 weeks i was never afraid because i had so much trust in him i can not get over how good i feel and like i never had a thing done but i am not to hungry any more THANK YOU DR. DYER I had lapband and he is still telling me how good i do and to keep it all up

1/23/02 Met with Dr. Olsen. The man comes highly recommended by my endocrinologist. Also, his answers, personality, skill, talent all shine. He stressed the necessity to use the tool like a tool. He discussed aftercare. All the risks were wll laid out. All the positives were reviewed. He was very, very thorough, calm, not rushed at all. I couldnt believe over an hour had passed. rnrn1/23/03rnOne year later, reflecting...I would trust Dr. Olsen with my life literally. Again, Dr. Olsen's surgery is impeccable. His bedside manner needs much touching up. He is dry, serious, at times grim. However, I have some concerns and issues that seem to go unheeded. These issues are concerning his office staff and followup care and directions. I read all of his patients' followup letters here on the site. They all laud the aftercare. However, many important issues were missed with me. I found at times for his office staff to be neither supportive nor encouraging. I have been brushed off as a \"difficult patient\" Due to this, I have ceased returning to his office after the 3rd post op visit. rnrnI have sent a letter to the nurse Debbie running the program at Centennial but havent heard more. I have continued to send other patients to him nonetheless

well Dr Dyer is great, you could not ask for a more honest doctor. and he will keep you on track. im proud that he was my doctor. thanks Dr Dyer.

Dr. Dyer was very kind and interested in my health. His staff were also very kind and made me feel at ease. I have refered a friend of mine to him and she is having lapband of the 9th of November. Dr. Dyer encourages me on changing my eating behavior. I would defintely refer him to others. His bedside manner was to make me feel relaxed, he is great.

he seemed very nice He was direct and to the point. he told me all about the surgery and the posibilities of me not being able to go laproscopicly because of my past surgurys

I found Dr Dyer a calm gentle honest well experienced surgeon ..I am very happy with my choice of Dr David Dyer. he is extremely careful and thorough down to the very last detail and keeps a close watch on his patients he did my gall bladder this past August and on Oct 19 he did lap- band surgery for me .I was up and walking the halls in no time on my own afer each surgery in a matter of a few hours (they make you lie in bed for a minimum of 3 or 4 hours)and very, very little ,if any pain ...if I have to say something not perfect about him .. I would say he is very quiet and serious but also very caring He has made my life turn around and given me a chance to garden and keep up with my grandkids and live a full life once more.. He is always happy to see his patients.. Aftercare is extremely important to him. great aftercare program office staff is very friendly and helpful.. could not find a more competent surgeon Thank you Dr David Dyer!!
