General Info

I always loved science - as well as a TV show about a neurosurgical chief resident, Ben Casey, that was popular in the 1960s. So, I may have been predisposed to a career in medicine. I recall an episode in which Dr. Casey restored a patient's eyesight. I was fascinated. \n In my own practice, I listen closely to each patient and tailor treatment to them based on their input and goals. I take care in being responsive to patients and prompt with replies to their concerns. Beyond that, I stay on top of new techniques, including Minimally Invasive Surgery and robotics. \n I have helped lead clinical trials, including trials for spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation which included novel treatment for phantom limb pain experienced by some amputees. \n My wife and I have been married for more than three decades and have four adult sons and (currently) one grandchild. We enjoy being active members of our church and family outings such as vacations, hiking, visiting amusement parks, sports and walking our dogs. I'm a lifelong learner and love to study topics related to my field, plus a diverse range of unrelated topics. I also enjoy Sudoku puzzles - and the more difficult, the better.

Best Surgeon!

Dr. Lyerly is awesome! He performed and implant surgery on me. I first met him in his office and was impressed immediately at is attentiveness to what I had to say. He truly listened to me. He was very accommodating with scheduling the upcoming surgery to fit into my hectic schedule. We scheduled for a Saturday...I was shocked that a doctor would do surgery on a Saturday. This man cares about the patient. He even called me after surgery to check on me in my room!!! Great doctor and person!

Dear Friends ,
I have been a patient of Dr. Lyerly's for over 18 years now. He has given my life back to me more than once.
Mark Lyerly is not only incrediably intelligent, he is fair, honest as the day is long and understands your mental and physical well being.
My family has truly been blessed to have Doctor Lyerly in our corner!!
For anyone worried about surgery please go and see him, he will do only what is needed/and he will do it correctly.
