2006 Macy Dr, Roswell, GA
WWW.GASTROATL.COM 4 0 4 2 5 7 0 0 0 0 Dr. Lyday’s father, a thoracic surgeon, also served as an Army surgeon following WWII. He practiced for five decades in Charlotte, NC. However, the most famous Lyday physician was John Lyday, MD in Greensboro, NC. He was the inspiration for the character known as Trapper John MD from the TV show MASH which chronicled his experiences in the Korean War. You could say the medical profession was a deep tradition in the Lyday family. After completing his undergrad degree at the University of Georgia, Dr. Lyday returned to North Carolina for medical school at UNC Chapel Hill with the intention of becoming a surgeon like his dad. To his surprise, gastroenterology became his passion. His father forgave him and teased “At least you didn’t become a psychiatrist!” “Seeing medicine and how it was practiced by so many dedicated, hardworking men in my family gave me a strong sense of duty and a desire to maintain their very high standards. In my family, medicine was a profession, not a business.” Following his fellowship at the University of Nebraska, he returned to Georgia highly interested in all the new technology being introduced in the Atlanta area. Dr. Lyday’s focused much of his efforts on cancer prevention, nutrition, research, and innovative procedures. Dr. Lyday is board certified in Gastroenterology. Over the years, he’s enjoyed many affiliations, including with Atlanta Health Institute, Atlanta Community Clinical Oncology Program, Georgia Institute of Technology, He served as the founding director of Gastroenterology andNutrition at Cancer Treatment Centers of America. He’s currently affiliated with Emory St. Joseph’s Hospital, Northside, and Piedmont Hospitals. When he’s not working, he enjoys fitness, golfing, and comedy clubs.
