Dr Hyer is a truly remarkable doctor and I cannot express how incredibly grateful I am to have found him. He is brilliantly smart and perceptive and he genuinely cares about finding a solution. My son has got his normal life back just as he (and I) were starting to wonder if it would ever happen. I booked an appointment for a second opinion as a result of reading reviews on this site regarding his ability to give a fast and accurate diagnosis. My teenage son had been suffering from a digestive problem following gastroenteritis and it had been affecting his quality of life for 3 months, with little improvement. Everything was on hold. Various doctors had issued medication but they had minimal impact and it was dreadful to watch my usually happy, active, healthy son getting ground down by it all. He was falling behind with school as well as friends and felt that he was watching everyone else living their lives from the sidelines whilst he struggled to pretend all was well, with various symptoms affecting him daily. This is someone who is very confident and enjoys being in the centre of a group. He was facing the prospect of cancelling all of the activities, school trips etc that he was looking forward to, as he felt that he was not physically able to cope with them. Indeed, other another doctor suggested that this was a good approach but I resisted this as I felt that he needed some hope. Most interestingly, Dr Hyer's diagnosis supported that issued by another specialist one week earlier BUT his approach to solving it could not have been more different. He completely relates to and understands teenagers, assessed my son's character and realised exactly what he needed to do to improve from this point. He made several recommendations. My son trusted him totally and he was the only doctor who was certain of the way ahead. He is like an old-fashioned doctor who considers the whole picture. So many doctors had been unsure and apologetic, implying that there was no solution and the problem would be lifelong. The appointment was two weeks ago and I cannot describe the contrast. Although there are one or two minor, lingering issues, they are reducing and it honestly feels like a miracle. Dr Hyer is an amazing doctor and has an impressive ability to truly listen and understand what is needed. He is also skilled at making the consultation a very pleasant experience indeed, with plenty of humour. My son and I are his greatest fans and highly recommend him. Thank you very much indeed, Dr Hyer.
