Lyon & Martin Medical Associates, PC

I’ve been seeing Dr. Lyon for about a year now and she really puts you at ease, takes her time with you, and really listens to what you have to say. She’s also very friendly and funny! Super easy to get an appointment with her and never more than a 10 minute wait time once you get there. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Lyon and I’m happy she’s my primary doctor :)

I have no complaints about Dr. Lyon (and Dr. Martin, who I have visited when Dr. Lyon wasn’t available). I have never had to wait for more than a few minutes, and she is very thorough and extremely personable. I appreciate that she writes prescriptions as a last resort, as opposed to just writing one to save time and get you out. I have referred 4 people to her, that’s how confident I am in her as a general physician and OBGYN.
I’m shocked at the reviewers claiming they had to wait for a prolonged amount of time. I have actually gotten scolded by Dr. Lyon for being a couple of minutes late.

I’m extremely dissappointed in the level of care I received from Dr. Lyon. I’ve been going to her for 4 years and everything was fine until I had a health issue. Dr. Lyon didn’t sit me down to explain everything properly and didn’t instruct me on how to take the supplements in order to correct my anemia. She didn’t seem like she wanted to help me. I had to drag information out of her. Had to go online to research what my symptoms meant. And even when I came back to ask her about my symptoms, she still didn’t provide any information. She forgot to check me for B vitamin even though it was an important one for my condition to check. I had to ask to get a referral to a nutritionist to take care of this properly. I felt like I was just an ATM machine for her and wasn’t treated like a human. I will never go back to her. She clearly doesn’t care about my well being and isn’t properly educated to provide care to patients with health issues. Doctors like her should not be allowed to practice medicine.

I have been going here for about a year now, and today was my last time I will ever step foot in that place. I waited for an hour, and I even had to pay for parking. I had to leave, and I wasted a ton of my time waiting. Plus I had to pay 30 dollars for parking. I spoke to dr Val & she was rude!!! She didn’t even care, she made it seem totally normal how late she was. There wasn’t even any patients waiting to be seen except for me. I called her to see if she would refund me my $ 30 for having to park in the parking garage, but she said no. I promise she is not the doctor that you want to be seeing. Good luck.

Had a physical with Dr. Lyon 2 years ago– no complaints, seemed thorough. So… needed to see a doctor on an emergency basis a few weeks ago, was informed Doc Lyon was out of town so agreed to meet with the other doctor. Nice enough, no problem. Upon making the appointment, was informed that I needed a credit card. This seemed strange and I questioned the receptionist several times and letting her know that I would not be leaving a credit card at their disposal. Day of appointment was informed that I owed them $ 4.00 from the visit 2 years ago — so gave them my debit card to settle that huge bill. Three weeks have gone by and whatever I had done with the other doctor was not completely covered by my fabulous insurance and a balance was due. Fast forward, so today I head to the ATM for lunch money and to my surprise, nothing doing. Head upstairs to my desk and log into my checking account to find that these people, these unscrupulous people have gone into my account and put me in the red! Is this what we’ve come to in this society!!! Receptionist had the audacity to tell me that I signed a form that would allow them access to my account. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Called the bank, which I also work for and filed a fraud complaint. I have yet to receive an explanation of benefits from my insurance carrier, what nerve to go into my account. Unfortunate situation, because I liked Doc. Lyon, but will not be returning.

Dr Valerie Lyon is the whole package: caring, knowledgeable, you can always find availability, and she has a super contact list for specialists. I always mentally feel better after I leave there. She is fantastic.

Dr. Lyons was recommended to me through a friend and I haven’t looked elsewhere. The office is efficient and the staff is really friendly. Plus, Dr. Lyons has always been on-​time for my appointments with her. She’s really direct and does very little of the small talk. The last time I was there she has a younger doc doing the pre-​exam and she was lovely too. Overall, I can’t find a single thing to complain about :)

took me quickly, efficiently. Dr. Martin is dry-​funny and professional. The office is always a breeze to get in and out. Calling for lab results can be cumbersome but they call back eventually. No muss, no fuss.

I’ve been going here for several years and I really like Dr. Lyon. She’s very accessible and approachable, and is happy to answer questions. The office staff are nice and very professional. Plan ahead if you want a morning appointment — the 8ams fill up weeks in advance!

This is NOT for the doctor, but the receptionist.
I’ve asked to renew my medication, she shout out what it’s for to the doctor.
emmmmmm what happen to confidentiality? Only happens with the doctor?
Doc is amazing but i think they need new receptionist.

Dr Lyon is great for her no-​nonsense attitude, her approachable nature, and her thoroughness. Her staff is courteous and helpful, and I never have to wait long for my appointment. I have been going to her for 8+ years for both her general and GYN practice.

Big fan of Dr. Lyon. I’ve seen Dr. Martin when Dr. Lyon is away but Dr. Lyon has been my PC for the past 9 years. What makes her so great is that she’s efficient and pragmatic. Very good bedside manner (she’s a great listener) but still understand we’re New Yorkers and we’re busy.
Office is always busy and the docs are back to back so expect a little bit of a wait but nothing any different from your average PC practice.

I really like Dr. Lyon. She listens to me! So many doctors let the books get in the way and don’t listen to what their patients are actually experiencing. I have been going through different doctors and specialist for a year trying to figure out a skin issue I have. Finally I feel like I am getting somewhere thanks to Dr. Lyon! Never long line, they can usually see me if I have a need to come in day of and I am in and out in less than 30 mins.

The woman saved my life, or at least saved me the grief of developing cancer!
Saw Dr Lyon in 1998 after acquiring new health insurance. I wanted a full physical since I now had «good» insurance (previous carrier was HIP, which at the time was godawful).
Anyway, I explained to Dr Lyon that I had reported symptoms to previous Dr who told me not to worry. Dr Lyon begged to differ– she recommended a colonoscopy. I did not make app’t. Less than a week later, the Dr herself called to give me good results of my physical (blood work, etc). She explained that normally the nurse would call with good results, but she feared I would take good blood results to mean I did not need a colonoscopy. She was calling personally to ensure that I made colonoscopy app’t. Well, guess what? Didn’t I have a tumor in my colon – initial diagnosis was that it was cancer. Turned out not to be, but the tumor was of the type that would be cancer in less than a year.
Painful bowel resection was done. Fourteen years later, I am still healthy as a horse. I get colonoscpies every three years now.
My point is that Dr Lyon thought big, and took that extra step. I will be forever grateful.
Note: My review is of Dr Lyon. I have no experience with this practice.

I was a first-​time patient, clearly a bit anxious, and she spent very little time in-​room with me before handing me off to a medical assistant with an even worse bedside manner.
Her exam was thorough, but I was annoyed that she sent my results to an out-​of-​network lab. I found it pretty negligent.
While I wouldn’t hold off on recommending her, I will not be returning to her practice.

Always a long waiting time (at least 45 mins). I was late by 15 mins and Dr. Lyon scolded me for setting her off schedule. Her referrals are always out of pocket /​private /​not worth it. skip.

Dr. Lyon was great — very good bedside manner, listened to me, and helped me get better. Her staff is kind and friendly — highly recommend her to others.

I’m very picky about my doctor and I make sure to do my research before finding one. This time it paid off. I don’t have a lot of medical problems so I can only evaluate based on annual physical checkups. I’ve been seeing Dr. Valerie Lyon for three years now and I don’t do a review until I know behavior is consistent.
From what I’ve seen, she has a great bedside manner. She’s caring, attentive and she does not hurry you. She listens to all your concerns. I had a checklist of every item to bring up with her and she had all the patience to listen to me and address every issue. She’s also very friendly and easy to talk to.
She seems knowledgeable and she also has great contacts and references. She referred me to a great dermatologist and gynecologist and she knows to point me towards a specialist for more informative evaluation.
Her staff is very courteous and friendly as well. They were informative and professional. I was happy with their service.
It wasn’t too hard to set up the appointment. They were ready to see me within the week. The wait wasn’t too long either. They have a good process in place.
Overall, I am happy with my pick and I would recommend Dr. Valerie Lyon to anyone.
