Dr. Dyer handled my immigration certification. They knew the entire procedure well. They advised me right throughout the entire procedure as to where to obtain necessary immunization shots, run tests, etc.

Update from my 1-star review: I had major issues with getting a hold of Dr. Dyer, but she gave me a call and it turns out it was a communication breakdown with Thorek Hospital (I now realize I'm commenting on her private practice page). She explained everything thoroughly and everything is all squared away. Again, she's super nice and I trust her as a doctor.

Dr. Dyer saved my 86 year old mother's life. She performed the colonoscopy identifying colon cancer and made every effort to work with the doctors to get her in for surgery immediately. Because of her swift life-saving actions, my mother survived cancer and is on the road to recovery. Dr. Dyer gave me a chance to spend a few more years with my mom. I don't know how many of you are looking for a new doctor, but I can say that Dr. Dyer was the guardian angel who saved the day. She cares about her patients and explains her procedures thoroughly. I trust her and her practice.

Horrible, horrible experience with Dr. Dyer. She performed a procedure and sent my results via email. I asked for a call to discuss questions I had, and she advised she would call me that night. She never called, and when I followed up she said I'd have to make a follow up appointment to talk. I explained that I was leaving for 2 weeks and needed answers to my questions because I was in severe pain. She stopped responding to my emails, and no one at her office will pick up the phone- I have left 5 unanswered voicemails. Extremely unprofessional and very disappointed.
