I went to see Dr. Lyle because I had palpitation/my heart was skipping beats. On the first visit, he spent 3 minutes with me. He said that my EKG looked normal and that I needed a heart monitor for a week, some blood work and then come back later for a stress test and he left the room (yes, 3 minutes!!). On the day of the stress test (1month later), the palpitation no longer existing. The assistant was great I give her 5 stars. But to Dr. Lyle I give a generous 2 stars. He came in while I was trotting on the treadmill. Said that the heart monitor showed nothing wrong (that was a relief). However, my LDL (bad) cholesterol was too high (130) should be lower. That the only way to bring it down is by taking medication. His words “there is no exercise to lower it that its genetics” I have no idea how he possible knows that this is genetics! (I have no knowledge any of my direct family suffers high cholesterol, but somehow he seems to know my family history). Anyhow, he said that I will have to go on meds for life to control my cholesterol. To start by taking a specific name medication (I don’t recall the name) his words “there are several genetic drugs out there, but start with 20 mg on a specific medication”. I asked him about my good cholesterol (84mg/ml) because I read that the good and bad cholesterol go hand in hand. He didn’t seem to care at all his words “yeah, that number doesn’t matter nowadays”.Dr. Lyle comments and his service (customer service) have disappointed me. I cannot believe that he did not offer any alternative solution!!! such as exercise & diet. After all, I’m on my early 40s, 6 foot tall and weight 190 pounds. Instead, he went the fast route prescribing 20mg Rosuvastatin Calcium for life!. I will get a second opinion from another cardiologist.

Don’t bother seen Dr. Lyle unless he is your last option.

Went to Dr. Lyle for high blood pressure and shortness of breath with edema in feet and legs. Was given BP medication that did not work and was told the shortness of breath and edema was not related to my heart. It continued to get worse. Went to my family doctor and after tests and pulmonary specialist, it showed lung edema and heart failure. Would not recommend this doctor. He just seemed so nonchalant.

Seems knowledagable, caring and great personal attention. He even remembers me and who I am. I would highly recommend

Selection Criteria
All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
