USMD Hospital at Arlington Hospital
Dr Lyons has such a personable & caring personality. I originally met him in Sept 2013 when I was hospitalized with a bowel obstruction for 5 days. No surgery was needed but he told me "the only surgery I want to do on you is bariatric surgery". Ever since then I've pursued this surgery. His office conducts a monthly support group. He always emphasizes nutrition & fluids & always takes time to explain things.
This is a great hospital! It was clean, had my own room. My family said it felt like walking into a hotel. The staff was excellent, especially Gail, Aurora, Essie, and Paul! Everyone was very knowledgable and instructive as to any issues I had at the time and any possible issues. They were all very friendly and helped me feel more comfortable about having this surgery. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is planning surgery and is looking for a hospital.
Dr. Augustus Lyons is awesome!! My first experience with Dr. Lyons was for a minor surgery on my shoulder and I was extremely comfortable with him. Once we finished talking about my shoulder, I asked him about RNY as there was a lady in the lobby that was talking about him doing her surgery and how pleased she was with him. His bedside manners are outstanding and he's gave me the comfortable feeling.rnOnly one thing I didn't like is that he pretty much told me I had to quit smoking or we couldn't do the surgery ... GUESS WHAT... I'm going on 5 months SMOKE FREE!!! TY DR. L!!!!!!!!!! (yes I'm still mad LOL) Office staff... they are pretty good. Bariatric Coordinator Tammy Beaumont... OMG what can I say about Tammy! She's been in our shoes and knows how hard it is. She's been there every step of the way with me and I can't thank her enough! From every experience with him so far I'm VERY impressed! I would and have recomended him to others.
