“I am so grateful to Dr. Lyons and his team for giving me full use of my right knee. I had dealt with a torn ACL, MCL, & LCL for a couple of years and finally had the surgery and ACL reconstruction done and I feel so much better. I am back in the gym, walking, jogging and able to play more with my kids and dance! Thank you Dr. Lyons for your truly amazing work!” ~ David Abadie

“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.”
