Dr. Walker Lyerly IV

Have seen him for about a decade on and off. Always felt respected and he was very knowledgeable about his diagnosis.

Interestingly this website will not accept a review that contains my honest opinion although I used no aggressive language, curse words, slurs or slander. So I've condensed my review to this: Dr. Lyerly is the worst we have ever seen. Stay away. 

He is a brilliant, insightful, caring, empathetic, compassionate doctor. He has helped me with the extremely difficult problems that I face as a person with schizoid, Bipolar Type 1 disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. He is a an exemplary doctor. I have seen 8 psychiatrists before him. He is absolutely the most helpful, caring doctors I have ever met.

He was informed about medicine but failed to help me

My visit with Dr. Lyerly was everything I could have hoped. I have seen a lot of doctors before, but he is definitely the best. I felt calm and safe. He is clearly very knowledgeable and helped me when others could not. 

I was Dr. lyerlys patient for a few months, and I would not recommend him if you are a woman. He wasn’t necessarily creepy outright, but just sexist enough where I felt dismissed and not taken seriously. He didn’t listen to me or respect my needs adequately. I have anxiety, Bipolar, and psychosis, and he was not great at treating those without overmedicating me and I felt like I lost myself. The nurse practitioner who treated me for while when he out was sweet, but condescending to me and offensive to my illnesses. The communication between her and Dr. Lyerly was disorganized and inadequate and resulted in me getting over prescribed. I’m not sure how much being female effected my experience in his practice, so maybe it’s okay to go here if you are male, but definitely would not recommend if you are female.

Dishonest practice and they charge your card deliberately, without providing receipts for services.. Good luck getting your money back.. They do not file claims with any insurance companies, so you have to do it yourself. He charged us 175$ for filling out 1 form without even seeing the patient!  Steer clear of this dishonest practice..

My older brother is a former patient of Dr. Lyerly. He kept prescribing my older brother medication that wasn't needed. He didn't know my older brother's needs at all!

Great doctor.  Has been treating my son for depression for several months.  Always available to help out. 

He is a good man.  I feel he wants to help people.

Great doctor, listens and asks thoughtful questions. I have seen several other doctors and no one made me feel as comfortable or invested. He doesn't speak to you like just another patient and offers meaningful questions/discussions. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I would never consider going to see anyone else.

Absolutely the worst doctor I have ever been to.  Completely misdiagnosed my doctor and made a bad situation 100% worse.  Cornered her with his questions and even though she got through their meeting, she broke down in tears as soon as we got home.  Was not considerate or compassionate at all.  One of the worst experiences I have ever had with a psychiatrist.  Do not go to him.
