June 5, 2026 - "Dr. Hyzy explained test results and my questions so that I now have more information about my condition and how to deal with it. He listened to my description of symptoms."
May 11, 2026 - "Doctor Hyzy asked all my questions."
April 29, 2026 - "Dr. Hyzy compared my [...] scans a little too in depth. I didn't understand a lot of what he said but he turned the monitors toward me and definitely wanted me to see the difference."
April 15, 2026 - "Dr. Hyzy is not a real people-person. [...] Dr. Hyzy's strong point is that he is experienced and a real expert in my medical problem. So after complaining about his brusque manner and not giving me much time, he got better. [...] I will certainly admit that his "bedside manner" has improved."
March 27, 2026 - "Dr. Hyzy seemed to have come in having reviewed by chart with a predetermined way forward. Tallked fast and didn't seem to register at the moment what my concerns were. However, his written report indicated his electronic listening device heard them, but he didn't have a dialogue with me about those concerns in the moment during my appointment."
March 18, 2026 - "Dr. Hyzy didn't show interest in helping me figure out treatment, he didn't look at my imaging once I provided it to him. Seemed to ignore most things I said and had an annoyed attitude from the moment he walked into the room."
March 18, 2026 - "Dr. Hyzy is a very knowledgeable doctor, thus I respect his advice and information."
March 7, 2026 - "Only critique would be that sometimes Dr Hyzy speaks very quickly and uses medical terminology that I don't always understand. But, when I have questions about what he said, he is good about making sure I understand."
December 22, 2025 - "Dr. Hyzy is the best Doctor I have had in a very long time. I thank God for him and the care he provide to me."
November 26, 2025 - "Meeting with Dr. Hyzy is always excellent."
