Dr Lyons was such a breath of fresh air. I was nervous about an upcoming procedure and had scheduled time with her for a second opinion. She explained the procedure in great detail and made me feel comfortable with my decision. I'd highly recommend her as she is knowledgable, respectful and very helpful.

Dr. Lyon is a great doctor! From the moment we walked into the office, we felt comfortable and well cared for. She took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and never make us feel rushed.

August 14, 2025Thomas M.Verified patient
Dr. Lyon is absolutely amazing. I came in with a nail concern and immediately felt supported. She is so patient, understanding, and truly took the time to get to know me and my background. So relieved to feel NO pain during any part of the procedures. Highly highly recommend Dr. Lyon, she’s professional and a wonderful doctor.
August 7, 2025Jessica G.Verified patient
Dr. Lyon and her team are outstanding. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Dr. Lyon truly listened to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and offered personalized treatment options. Her knowledge, patience, and compassion made a big difference—I felt genuinely cared for, not just as a patient, but as a person. I’ve had cortisone shots before and they’ve always hurt, but this time was different. Her calm, gentle approach made it nearly painless. The office is clean, modern, and well-run, and the staff is friendly, prompt, and attentive. It’s clear they care about both quality care and patient comfort. If you’re looking for a podiatrist who combines skill with kindness and respect, I highly recommend Dr. Lyon. My feet—and I—are truly grateful. Five stars isn’t enough!

Excellent Care and Quick Relief!
I had an appointment with Dr. Lyon and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly and professional, and the check-in process was smooth.
Dr. Lyon was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. She explained everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure, and took care of the issue quickly and painlessly. I felt immediate relief and appreciated how attentive she was to both the treatment and aftercare instructions.
If you're dealing with foot pain or need a podiatrist, I highly recommend Dr. Lyon. Sge made an uncomfortable situation easy and stress-free. Five stars all the way!
July 8, 2025Saundra S.Verified patient
Dr Esther Lyons was very frinedly and courteous and I didn't even wait 5 minuets to be seen. She is extreemly gentel when she is handaling your foot or toes. I had a fungus under one of my big toe nails. She told me she had to remove the toe nail. She had her nurse Anna freeze my big toe with several shots of the freezing medication that were very painless as directed by Dr. Lyons. My toe was so forzen when Dr. Lyons pulled my toe nail I felt nothing but a few mild little pulls that did not hurt at all and Dr. Lyons is so professional while she pulls your toe nail you don't even feel any pain at all because she talks to you and covers up your foot so you can't see her doing anything. The whole procedure was so easy and very pain free. I would recommend Dr Lyons she is definately a 5 star doctor. I chose Dr Lyons because of all the great reviews on her. I will keep her as my Podiatrist going forward. I was very pleased and I amsure you will be too.

Dr Esther Lyon was great! She immediately set up a Telehealth to see what was wrong and I still got to actually go in on the same day I set up my appointment. She was super sweet and informative. I also had Evelyn who helped me out at my actual appointment, she was also super friendly. Overall good experience
March 27, 2025Elizabeth R.Verified patient
Everyone was so kind and friendly. I am so happy that I found her for my feet. I will definitely be recommending her. Everyone is kind. The doctor was so gentle great bedside manner. She listened very thorough. It was an amazing experience. The way our healthcare system has been going you wonder what’s going on with some people but this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. If I can recommend one out of 100 instead of one out of 10 it would be a definite 100 for me.
