After a highly unsatisfactory experience with another doctor at the Orthopedic Center, I wanted to give it one last shot and scheduled with Dr. Tyser. I am so glad I did. He listened, he was empathetic, he took his time, he suggested a course of action and was honest about the pros and cons involved. He encouraged my ongoing physical therapy and asked me to return any time if I was still concerned. He seemed genuinely interested in helping me. I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Dr. T, and wouldn't hesitate to return to see him or to recommend him to others.

I think that there is a second issue going on but only 1 was diagnosed

April 22, 2013

April 15, 2013

Everyone was kind and sympathetic to my "problem" and treated me with respect, kindness, and courtesy.

April 11, 2013

Dr Tyser informed me more about using a cane then did Dr Pelt!

April 08, 2013

Dr Tysher is very thorough in explaining long term expectations of recovery. he was very focused on my case even though I know he is very busy. he was clear on further support services if I need them

March 25, 2013

1st visit to this provider, great interaction

March 21, 2013

The doctor told me he could not find anything wrong with me and told me to wait another three months, while experiencing pain so bad I cannot perform the functions of my job, to see that he still cannot find what is wrong with me.

February 25, 2013

Definitely recommend.

February 18, 2013

January 07, 2013

Dr. Tyser was great! He walked me right into the hand therapy area and introduced me to the staff and they got started helping me.

December 03, 2012

will return; confident in his care and his knowledge

November 26, 2012

love Andy Tyser.... would HIGHLY recommend him to others

November 19, 2012

Dr. Tyser was the substitute doctor (original surgeon was ill the day of my surgery), but he was very informative and answered all of my questions regarding the surgery - good "bedside" manner.

November 19, 2012

I was manifestly impressed with Dr. Tyser and am deeply grateful for his caring response. I believe he has successfully treated my actual issue, which the former physician ignored.

November 19, 2012

the time i was involve with dr tyser was so brief. i saw him just before my surgery, one in the hospital for a few minutes and for a few minutes in the clinic. seemed to be a very nice man who cares.

November 13, 2012

I have recommended this care provider to others. I believe they made an appointment.

November 07, 2012

The Dr. is great but i would never send anyone here because of the staff. It is one problem after another.

October 29, 2012

I want to thank Dr. Tyser for using medical terminology. I am a pharmacist and either he looked at my information sheet before the visit or always uses medical terminology. At any rate, I appreciate being spoken to as a medical professional and not a lay person.

October 26, 2012

I have recommended this care provider to others.

October 16, 2012

Andy Tysor is the BEST !!! love him !! not only is he a wonderful and competent surgeon but he is personable, friendly, modest, funny and caring.... I would HIGHLY recommend him to others!!!!

October 04, 2012

Dr Tyser is very kind and explains things in layman terms. I would definietly come back to him. Hopefully I won't have to.

September 27, 2012

I've been delighted with Dr Tyser at every point in my care. He's kind, calm, and confidence-inspiring. These are all wonderful qualities to complement professional skill and competence.
