Hi, I’m Dr Matt Pabis. I’m a board certified family medicine doctor trained in upstate New York where I learned how to do a lot on my own, and now I’m practicing back home in the city where I handle as much as I can in the office without sending you all over the city for needless referrals.

I was raised in New York City. I completed my residency in Schenectady NY. I started off working for a big corporate medical practice in Harlem, but found that it did not give me the time to really know my patients. It felt like an assembly line; 15 minutes to see one problem and move on. I didn’t want to practice medicine like that. I wanted to get to know my patients, and really understand them to make their lives and health better.

Then the opportunity to start a primary care practice in a pain management, orthopedic, and cosmetic practice presented itself and I jumped on it. I loved my time there, but it still did not feel quite like home. Even though there was a lot to learn and do, the variety of patients wasn’t there.

So I decided to move on and start my own primary care practice. I also took the position of a medical director of a psychiatric, and substance abuse clinic in the same building where my office is located.

I developed a practice where I work with my patients to help them be as healthy as they can be. I don’t push one medicine or another, I am always open to new ideas or new treatment plans, and every treatment plan is developed with you. If option 1 or option 2 don’t work for you, we can figure an option that does work.

Additionally I’m comfortable with opioid addiction therapy, medical cannabinoids, preventive HIV medication, and Vivitrol Injections. And in some occasions, I can do house calls.

A Note from Dr. Lyon

I'm Dr. Valerie Lyon, and it's a pleasure to welcome you to Lyon Primary Care, in Midtown, New York, NY.

The doctor-patient relationship is ideally a long-term collaboration.  You and I work together to help keep you healthy, and if difficulties should arise, we want you to know you can look to us for supportive, attentive and skilled medical care.

Though most of my patients are young women, often new to New York, I also see many others, both male and female, whom I’ve worked with since I started in private practice more than two decades ago.  

I perform many of the same clinical services an internist does, but as a family practitioner, much of my work also involves routine office gynecology, including Pap smears, oral contraceptives and diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases.

As a clinical instructor at NYU Langone Medical Center, I refer my patients to many of the most widely respected in-network specialists in the city.  Whether it's here in our office or with a specialist we refer you to, we hope you'll feel that someone is sensitive to your concerns, and giving you the care you look for in a doctor.

I look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,

Val Lyon, MD
