About Me

Dr. Matthew Lyons specializes in minimally invasive and advanced robotic surgery for the treatment of prostate and kidney cancer, as well as benign prostate enlargement. He also specializes in minimally invasive surgery for the management of male urinary symptoms related to enlarged prostate and urinary stone disease. Additionally, he specializes in the management of men’s health issues such as erectile dysfunction, low testosterone and Peyronie’s disease.

Dr. Lyons performs over 70 robotic cases per year (over 300 cases since starting at WakeMed) and is one of the highest volume robotic surgeons for prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in Wake County. He is proud to have helped establish the urologic robotic surgery program at WakeMed North Hospital.

He is an active participant in the Wake County genitourinary (GU) oncology tumor board, which allows for a state-of-the-art, multi-disciplinary approach to cancer treatment and collaboration with Duke and WakeMed medical oncologists, radiologists and radiation oncologists. This allows his patients access to cutting-edge cancer care right here in Wake County.

In addition to cancer care, Dr. Lyons specializes in several minimally invasive techniques for the management of male urinary symptoms related to enlarged prostate. Specifically, he specializes in Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy, the UroLift® System as well as laser transurethral resection of the prostate and robotic simple prostatectomy. He is committed to personalized care for patients with BPH and working to find the treatment modality that aligns with their symptoms and lifestyle goals.

Additionally, Dr. Lyons performs minimally invasive, no-scalpel vasectomy.

After graduating from medical school, Dr. Lyons continued his training by completing an internship in general surgery and a residency in urology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Lyons has published numerous research documents and abstracts on a wide range of urologic diseases and has presented his work at national and international meetings. Dr. Lyons is also an adjunct assistant professor of Urology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as well as Campbell Medical School. He currently serves as the Director of Medical Education for WPP Urology.

Dr. Lyons has a passion for quality improvement and has led projects aimed at alleviating the impact of the opioid crisis in Wake County. He has worked with WakeMed to decrease the number of opioid prescriptions for urologic surgery by nearly 50 percent, while establishing effective, opioid-free pain regimens to help patients recover safely and comfortably without having to worry about the risk of addiction and preventing the flow of unused opioid prescriptions into our community.

In 2024, Dr. Lyons was honored to receive the Pyramid Society Award for teamwork and leadership. This award is the highest honor given at WakeMed.

Dr. Lyons enjoys spending time with his family and his golden retriever, "Ned," in addition to cheering on the Hurricanes and Tar Heels.

Dr Lyons is always an excellent Dr. He has got rid of kidney stones twice for me and will be doing so a 3rd time as he found another stone- size 7. When it starts moving and that pain starts I will be contacting Dr Lyons. He is very professional,caring, and detailed.

The entire team was friendly and accommodating.

03/20/2024

What an incredible experience. Test results are typically same day (within hours). The staff are not only professional but respectful and friendly. Dr Lyons is excellent. I feel like he really listens to me and shows concern AND doesn't rush through the appointment like most. I understand Medicare or other insurance companies limit the time they pay for but the result is patients feeling rushed. Not so with Dr Lyons. His focus is on his patients. Can't recommend Dr Lyons enough! Outstanding.

I had the [] procedure on [DATE]. My [DATE] appointment was a follow up appointment. As with every appointment I've had with Dr. Lyons, his care and client focus are outstanding. I've never felt rushed and feel he truly listens to my concerns and questions. The office staff and his nursing staff were friendly, professional, and help contribute to a positive experience each visit. The testing results are usually provided before I even leave my appointment. I'd most highly recommend Dr. Lyons as the Urologist to schedule with for any urinary issues or concerns.

I went to Raleigh Urology for years and seemed that they were only interested in their view of my condition and allowed my prostate to have limited options. Dr Lyons is a breath of fresh air and I value his opinion.

Dr. Lyons and the Wakemed nursing staff were all excellent. There young man that wheeled me by too be there car upon discharge was especially carrying, kind. Very helpful. An excellent representative of any organization, including Wakemed.

08/19/2023

It was so refreshing to not get the standard RUSHED visit that seems to be prevalent in the medical environment in the past few years. I get the impression that Medicare may be placing a 15 minute limit on time spent for each visit. With most, you get your "15 minutes of fame" to spiel out any/all issues, get responses, and ask questions before they're prescribing a new medication (which may or may not have been checked against your existing meds for interaction) and are out the door to the next patient. As visits are typically 6 months to a year apart, that's never enough time to REALLY discuss your health changes and needs. Dr. Lyon spends whatever time is needed. I feel I'm in good hands with someone who actually cares.

08/14/2023
