“Severely injured my shoulder in an oilfield accident. Had major concerns about the surgery I was to have, healing timelines, percentage of use over time… I’m glad I chose Dr. Lyons. Every one of my questions were answered intelligently and clearly for my understanding, him and staff were all very kind but effective and competent in their duties, and with barely any proof of surgery my shoulder and arm have no pain or other residual effects of the injury that I attribute to the knowledge, skill, execution, and capabilities of Dr. Lyons. Hopefully, I’ll never need care for another injury but if so, I’ll be back in his office!.” ~ Richard R.
“Dr, Lyons was very professional. He removed bone spurs, fixed my clavicle and released my bicep. Only 23 days and all is great full range of motion plus pain free. Thanks Doctor.” ~ Michael P. Barnett
“The surgery went off without a hitch. I had much less pain than a previous surgery by another doctor on the other shoulder. The office was the most efficient doctors office I have ever been to. You arrive check in and are immediately sent to the back where an assistant greets you and interviews you. Shortly thereafter Dr. Lyons comes in and examines you. He and his staff are very personable and efficient. I was usually back in the car before the seat was cold.” ~ Thomas Howley

“As Human Resource Director, I am responsible for ensuring that our 500+ employees and family have access to outstanding medical care. To that end, employees often ask for my recommendation of a treating physician. When asked, “ Sid, who is your orthopedist?” Without hesitation, I happily and confidently reply, “Dr. Thomas Lyons.” Dr. Lyons has surgically repaired both of my shoulders and has successfully treated my knees, utilizing minimally invasive techniques. In addition, he has performed surgery upon my spouse to repair a difficult labrum tear, all without complications. Under his care we quickly returned to the activities we enjoy most such as fishing, gardening, and exercising to name a few. Dr. Lyon’s affability and commitment to applying appropriate care, along with exceptional surgical skills, assures patients have the best possible outcomes.” ~ Sid Lacoste, Jr.

“My first visit was a very pleasant one, the Front Desk was very helpful, then when I met my nurse, she was very pleasant, then Dr. Eric George was very nice, I could not believe it. Then on my second visit everyone was very nice and helpful, they really know how to deal with people.” ~Dora
“I am a full-time bassist in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 2018, I injured my thumb in the gym and faced a possible career-ending injury. A few months later, upon the recommendation of other musicians, I saw Dr. Eric George at the Hand Center of Louisiana. After diagnosing my injury, he performed a reconstruction of two ligaments and joint capsule in my hand. After five weeks, I was back gigging again around the city and visiting the hand therapy center for rehabilitation.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of Dr. George, Marie McLaughlin, Katherine Hammer, and all the great therapists at the Hand Care Center, I was able to make a full recovery and continue playing a rigorous performance schedule with the same finesse, endurance, and dexterity I had before my injury. They treated me with the highest caliber of courtesy, kindness, and professionalism. I owe my recovery to their thorough and erudite work. I hope they continue their role as one of Louisiana’s leaders in hand care—they have my deepest gratitude.”
