I am a native of Chattanooga, yet, confirmed Nashvillian after living here almost twenty years! My passion is caring for the bariatric patient—proudly serving this community for close to fifteen years. The opportunity to experience the transformation that bariatric surgery has on a person’s life is truly remarkable—not only their physical health, but their emotional health as well.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, son and our two miniature Australian Shepherds as well as gardening, fitness, cross-stitch. Fun fact: I am a Trekkie—I love science fiction!

I aspire to advance my career in healthcare to someday be able to provide distinct needs for patients. When I was a kid, my mother had bariatric surgery, I witnessed her transformation into the person she is today, and I found it fascinating that it was even possible! It completely changed my mother's life and mine for the better! I have the honor of being a part of one of the most wonderful teams here at Dr.Dyer’s office. It is nothing less than a privilege to assist with your needs and goals to improve your quality of life. I cannot wait to be a part of your journey!

Dr. David Dyer and Team Gave Me My Life Back!
I had two strokes in 2008 at age 29 that left me bedridden for 12 years. Getting Gastric Bypass at age 41 after gaining to 330lbs, helped me to become more healthy, happy, and active. I went from being bedridden to losing 175lbs and now I'm a size 8 from a 28, walking miles at a time, and a business owner of a Real Estate Photography Company! My body and mind chemistry has changed so much that now I'm not allergic to fish, metals, or nuts! This has been a fantastic journey! All of this is due to Dr. Dyer, Team, and my hard work!
Thank You Dr. Dyer!
-Andrea D.
Before my gastric sleeve surgery, I was a morbidly obese man with diabetes, sleep apnea, low energy, high cholesterol and triglycerides. Dr. Dyer and his staff were supportive and informative throughout the process of deciding to have surgery as well as during and now after surgery. I felt completely confident in my decision when I went in for surgery having had all my questions answered. They prepared me well for what to expect and have always been available to answer any questions or concerns I have had.
Since the surgery, I am excited to say my diabetes has completely gone away and my sleep apnea machine has been boxed up! I have tons of energy and my wife is excited to have her old husband back! I am walking 5 miles a day and getting stronger with every mile! Thank you Dr. Dyer and staff for giving me my life back!
-Thomas B.
Before my surgery I had tried many different diet plans without success. Besides being very overweight, at age 60, I had daily reflux. I was worried about taking such a drastic step of surgery but Dr. Dyer put my mind at ease explaining everything in detail. He recommended bypass due to my chronic reflux and reassured me that I would do fine. I'm 11 months post-op, and doing great, and haven't had reflux since surgery. My entire experience from start to finish was great. His excellent staff is always available to answer any questions that I might have. I would recommend Dr. Dyer to anyone considering this option for weight loss.
