Poor diagnostic skills, unable to handle mental health emergencies, poor bedside manner, and generally lacking in empathy. We had a terrible experience with her.

In my interactions with Dr. O, I found that she was unable to handle my unfolding mental health crisis. She did not know how to provide care, demonstrated poor bedside manner, took a very ad hoc approach to prescribing medicines, and seemed very uninterested in my situation. She and her practice made it extremely difficult to reach her in an emergency, and our efforts to get urgent help from her were often met with hostile, defensive responses. Dr. O may be good at general med management, but my experience suggests that she ... read more

I sought help from Dr. O during a mental health crisis. My situation was escalating rapidly and she simply did not provide care in a professional manner. She lacked empathy and had very poor manners. She was sometimes even rude during our appointments when I was experiencing anxiety, paranoia, and other conditions. She was unhelpful during several episodes that resulted in ER admissions; she did even have the common courtesy to follow-up with me after I had been discharged, even though she had been fully informed of my situa... read more

Called to try and make a new patient appointment. Someone picked up, sighed heavily into the phone, and immediately hung up. Very discouraging to someone seeking mental health care.

Interestingly this website will not accept a review that contains my honest opinion although I used no aggressive language, curse words, slurs or slander. So I've condensed my review to this: Dr. Lyerly is the worst we have ever seen. Stay away.

I was Dr. lyerlys patient for a few months, and I would not recommend him if you are a woman. He wasn’t necessarily creepy outright, but just sexist enough where I felt dismissed and not taken seriously. He didn’t listen to me or respect my needs adequately. I have anxiety, Bipolar, and psychosis, and he was not great at treating those without overmedicating me and I felt like I lost myself. The nurse practitioner who treated me for while when he out was sweet, but condescending to me and offensive to my illnesses. The commu... read more

Dishonest practice and they charge your card deliberately, without providing receipts for services.. Good luck getting your money back.. They do not file claims with any insurance companies, so you have to do it yourself. He charged us 175$ for filling out 1 form without even seeing the patient! Steer clear of this dishonest practice..

My older brother is a former patient of Dr. Lyerly. He kept prescribing my older brother medication that wasn't needed. He didn't know my older brother's needs at all!

Absolutely the worst doctor I have ever been to. Completely misdiagnosed my doctor and made a bad situation 100% worse. Cornered her with his questions and even though she got through their meeting, she broke down in tears as soon as we got home. Was not considerate or compassionate at all. One of the worst experiences I have ever had with a psychiatrist. Do not go to him.
