Douglas Tyler, MD

I am a physician director of a diagnostic test that very few doctors understand. I was introduced to Dr Tyler because he clearly wants to use our test when it can help his already expert decision making. After a few long meetings with him I am convinced he is one of the best doctors in the country – if I lived in California, he would be my doc!

I was referred to Dr. Tyler from a friend who is a head cardio surgeon. I’m so glad I was. Dr. Tyler always spends a good amount of time with each patient and listens. When I go in with an issue, he looks at the last year or so of my records so he can see if there’s a pattern. I really appreciate that he’s not a «fix it and get out of here» type of doctor. He’s pretty conservative in regards to meds but makes sure you have what you need — meaning, he doesn’t over use antibiotics. His demeanor reminds me of the great doctors I used to have back in Chicago and his staff is awesomely friendly and efficient. The only negative is that it can be tough to get in sometimes. But I think that’s how most good doctors’ offices are. Bottom line: I trust him.

Dr. Tyler kept asking me the same questions over and over, despite having the information in front of him in my chart. I finally asked him, sarcastically, if he was trying to trip me up. Additionally, there was something about him that gave me the creeps – which made it a good thing that he was not a «hand-​on» doctor. I don’t trust doctors who don’t palpate the places where you have pain. I don’t recommend him.

Douglas Tyler, is the worst internist around, he’s really skanky, avoid this doctor. We liked him initially, but we gradually realized how confused and not very good he was. When we went to Turkey the first time, he promised he’d call back if we called with any healthy issues, but he never called back when we called him, he was impossible even in town to ever reach him after 5PM, and he always seemed to have his own very odd agenda’s pushing absurd and unneeded health issues that insurance companies would reimburse him for. We realized later on how stupid he was pushing absurd diagnoses that weren’t viable or accurate., and then he’d forget about the absurd dx, and then tell us we were in perfect health which we both are. The way he suddenly switched his practice from a regular internal medicine practice to a concierge practice was totally unethical, at least 3 – 6 months notice should have been given, and not the 2 weeks he gave that wasn’t acceptable, Fortunately, we have a very good /​concerned and caring doctor and a wonderful doctor who will never switch to a concierge practice. We’re in great health, and our new internist isn’t a doctor who’s pushing unnecessary, and not needed tests that would wrack up extra money from the insuranance companies, additionally we like the front office staff better, and the nurse, Maria is totally excellent, the best nurse for drawing blood, or giving painless injections anywhere.

Dr. Doug is a wonderful caring, dedicated to his patients Doctor. In today’s medical /​healthcare climate that is RARE. He takes the time to examine you, talk about your family history and overall, I am 100% confident now that I will be getting the BEST care that I can while in the hands of Dr. Doug. His office staff is superior. I am so willing to travel the hour drive to see him. Getting my follow up appointment was easy peasy! Thanks to Liese & Shari for helping me get my appointments!

Dr. Tyler has been our family doctor for over 25 years and I would highly recommend him and his staff. He is caring, professional and genuinely cares about everyone. He will go out of his way to assist those in need. He will actually call you to follow up and make sure you are doing well. I wish we had more doctor’s like Dr. Tyler… a true professional who cares! His staff is the best!

This Dr sucks! It has been over 2 weeks & they have not given me my lab results, now they claim to have a «new policy» that you must go in for results. I was unable to see the Dr the day I went in so they scheduled me with an assistant of his that just talked my ear off. Service is horrible over the phone & in the office. Don’t wast your time. They are not helpful at all. Trying to get a phone called returned has seemed impossible, other issues that I went in for were put to the side and not cared to look into by this assistant dr. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME!!!

Dr. Tyler is a caring, dedicated physician who actually seems to enjoy his profession (hard to believe!). He cares enormously that we take precautionary measures to NOT get sick! He’s serious about patients maintaining their health.
He came highly recommended to me and just knowing he is my physician now, I feel a sense of relief and confidence that already factors as a great contributor to my own health and well being! Funny how that works…
Dr. Tyler embodies the true spirit of a gifted healer as well as being a gift to his porfession. He is incredibly thorough, very impressive and I can’t recommend him enough! Oh and most importantly… he’s kind.

My husband and I both see Dr. Tyler. He is thorough and patient, as other reviewers say. He is also just a good guy who makes you feel comfortable. He has referred me to a couple of his colleagues through the years for various specialized follow-​up needs, and it seems like Dr. Tyler runs with a good crowd! The people he has entrusted me and my health to have been approachable and thoughtful, just like him. Not a cold fish in the bunch.

The best General doctor around. He goes out of his way to spend more time with you. When I told him of a certain pain I was having wasn’t a big deal, he demanded we do x-​rays. I really appreciated having him and tell all my friends to go see him

If you are looking for an internist, I definitely recommend him. I have never had such a patient, detailed physical in my life. He answered all my questions and even offered extra tests that might not be covered should I want to learn more about my health. All around great guy who pays close attention to the individual… which most western doctors are not capable of.
