Dr.kyser is amazing he listens to my needs and very transparent about what’s best for me . I have suffered from ptsd,anxiety and depression for quite some time. This doctor is gentle and eager about getting me to the next level with the help of my psychologist. I am very grateful with their teamwork and trusting them with my needs to get me through this difficult situation. I wasn't always easy to work with but I began to believe these doctors are here to help and they are doing just that . If you really want the help trust him! After 5 1/2 years with the psychologist and a year and a half with a psychiatrist, I am very grateful and pleased!
Dr.Kyser has been a great blessing to me so far. He is a great listener and has great bedside manners. And he gets right on his job immediately with your diagnosis.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kyser for over 10 years. He and his team (Margaret) have been absolutely wonderful. He is a fantastic doctor - very thorough and direct. He always runs on time and is very thoughtful about my care and needs. He listens to what is going on and provides the care necessary. I would highly recommend!
It's absolutely hilarious to reflect on the rollercoaster I had been on for just under two years. The anxiety, depression (PTSD), and all the struggles... But oh boy, Dr. Kyser came to the rescue and restored my everyday life, and not just mine, but my family's too! Right now, I am back to my good old self, feeling like a million bucks. I can't thank you enough, Dr. Kyser! You've been like a superhero to me. I can't stress enough how amazing this guy is. If you or anyone you know has been battling with depression and anxiety, don't waste a single second and get in touch with him. Trust me, he's the absolute best in the business!
Not every good doctor is a good doctor for you, and I think that mixed feeling is reflected on here. If you’re looking for routine medicine maintenance, the experience has been fine. I wouldn’t say horrible. I wouldn’t say great. My overall summary would be 10 to 15 minutes of cursory questions and sending me out with a prescription renewal. This office is likely a decent fit if you’re looking for that type of engagement. I made the decision to look for a new doctor after some communication issues compounded on both sides. Buyer beware on one thing—if you terminate, you can’t go back. They close the file.
Dr. Kyser has been a great doctor to me for 5 plus years now. He and his friendly, caring staff have always accommodated me and my needs as a patient. I highly reccomend him.
I saw him for just a couple months or so a couple years ago. He didn't do a thing for me. His office is a damn disaster. Looks like a room off of hoarders. He has no compassion or empathy. He then sent me a notice saying he couldn't be my doctor anymore and I was never given a reason why. But, he's a very poor doctor and should not be practicing. It's all about money. I wouldn't trust him with a fishing pole much less another human being.
Let me first start of by saying my life for over 35 years had been total chaos with my addictions one after the other. I had to finally say enough is enough. I couldn’t stay clean no matter how or what I tried . One day on my last leg so to speak I opened up the phone book and started calling for help. I noticed just about every doctor I called wanted way to much money to even see me. I was very sick and wasn’t working at the time. So needless to say my budget was very very tight. I came across Dr. Kyser and called his office and spoke with his staff. Told them a little about what I was going through and they told me the fee for first visit. I was shocked to hear it was basically 75% less than the other 4 or 5 doctors I had called . First I said to myself he’s doing the same thing there doing for much much less. So I went of course with Dr. Kyser. I’m trying to make this short as I can but you see I was a total wreck and I’m getting emotional just writing about this. Going back to the first day I set foot in his office . I’ve been going to Dr. Kyser now for almost 3 and a half years now. My life has changed so dramatically since that first day in June of 2015. The staff is very friendly and Dr.Kysers is the best. He helped save my life and I will be forever grateful for him doing what he does. Ive turned my life around so much I’ve received 3 promotions at my job in basically three years. This would not have been possible without Dr.Kyser and his all so caring staff. He will truly listen to you and will hel p you if you let him. Please im begging you if your looking for help and feel like you can’t go on. Please give Dr. Kyser a call he and his staff will treat you like a human being and not like just another patient. It’s not all about money Dr. Kyser is helping save lives. I would highly recommend you go see him now. Don’t put it off any longer. One more day may be to late.
He was rude to me. He told me that my dose of 40mg of prozac a day is the maximum dose and said there is no way to develope a tolerance to that (even though id been on that dose for a while). He said "Its as if the medicine just left your body" and said it was "suspicious" and said "it cant just stop working". I went to a new doctor a few days later and the new doctor raised me to 60mg of prozac a day and said the maximum is 80mg a day.
Went to see him once and he really just sat there and acted concerned but didn’t say much to me. Really didn’t diagnose me but I told him Xanax helped and that’s what he gave me. I had a return follow up appointment three months from then and I had to cancel because I had urgent issues with my little boy that I had to deal with because he comes before me.. I canceled the appointment a month before time and when I called back to see him he told the receptionist he wanted me to see someone else. I felt like I was did wrong but now thankfully I have found a doctor that listens to me and communicates with me during visits and won’t turn his back on me when I need him. I do not recommend this doctor due to my own personal experience.
