Patient Testimonials
At Cross River Cardiology, we often hear from our patients about how Dr. Dy’s expert care has helped them. We are proud to share with you just a few of these patient testimonials:
“Dr. Dy saved my life. He could have just treated my problem with medication but, with my family history, he decided to do a heart catheterization. He found a 99% blockage in my main artery. He called it the widow-maker or in my case, the widower-maker. He fixed it with a stent, and I highly recommend him to everyone.” ~ Millie S. (from Vitals.com)
“I have been seeing Dr. Dy since he came to Lenoir the first time. I did not know what I was going to do for a heart doctor when it was time for him to leave. The doctor I went to was OK, but not like Dr. Dy. I consider Dr. Dy a friend, and he explained everything so I could understand. I really missed that. I trust him with my life! He has made my life better since he is back in Lenoir. I hope he stays. He is a wonderful doctor.” ~ Shelby Labrose
“I have had the pleasure to work for Dr. Johnny Dy since he came to our area in 2002. Not only is Dr. Dy great to work for, but he really provides amazing care for all of his patients. I have had several family members who would not be here today if it wasn’t for the time and effort Dr. Dy graciously put into saving their lives. Over the years, I have had the privilege of witnessing his compassion for all of his patients. I feel very blessed and proud to be a part of his team at Cross River Cardiology! It is an honor to work with such a wonderful doctor. So, if you are looking for a cardiologist who will go above and beyond to help you get better, Dr. Dy is the best!” ~ Doreen Parsons, echocardiologist at Cross River Cardiology
“I am a patient of Dr. Dy. He is a really wonderful doctor. He provided great care for me when I was sent away by many others who thought I was overreacting. If it was not for Dr. Dy and his remarkable persistence, I would probably have ended up in worse shape by the time I got help. Dr. Dy is a doctor who will not give up on his patients. He is happy to answer questions and explain anything about your diagnosis that you may not understand.
I can honestly say that I no longer dread going to the doctor when I have an appointment at Cross River Cardiology. Not only will you experience top-notch care from Dr. Dy, but you will also be greeted and taken care of by his wonderful, caring staff as well. Thank you, Dr. Dy, for all you have done for me and my family. God bless.” ~ Brandy Hedrick
“I have been seeing Dr. Dy for many years. I was his first patient when he began his practice in Lenoir. I have a great deal of trust in him. He is not only my doctor, but a good friend to me and my husband, who is also a patient. Dr. Dy has helped us through some rough and scary times in our life. He was also my sister’s cardiologist. She recently passed away, and Dr. Dy and his office showed an outpouring of love and support for her family.
Dr. Dy is a kind and compassionate doctor who is there when I need him. I feel very confident in his abilities, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a good cardiologist. It is nice to have a doctor with a great mind and an even greater heart. I am blessed to have such a fine man care for me. Congratulations on your many years of service to your patients, Dr. Dy. May you continue to be a light in this county’s healthcare community.” ~ Brenda Dula
“There were two other doctors who said there was no way they could put a stent in me. On Dec. 20, 2017, Dr. Dy also said he wasn’t able to do it. I told him I had prayed about it and the Lord showed me he could do it. Dr. Dy and I prayed together. He proceeded to place the stent. The next thing I knew he was hollering “Whoopee! I got it!” It’s amazing what the Lord and a fine doctor like Dr. Dy can do. He is more like family than a doctor, with all the love and care he gives a patient.” ~ Louise Woodruff
“I want to give praise to a doctor who deserves it. I was very sick one morning with chest pain. The ER was very busy and I knew I was not going to be able to sit and wait to be seen. My wife took me to Dr. Dy’s office and when they saw the condition I was in, the staff at Dr. Dy’s office got on the ball. They called the hospital and informed them I was on my way. I got to the hospital and they took me right in, had a bed waiting for me in the ICU.
If it wasn’t for Dr. Dy, I would have died several times. He is not only my doctor, he is like a brother to me. He is so kindhearted, and such a loving person. Caldwell County needs more doctors like him because he definitely has to enjoy his job to be the person he is. Thank you, Dr. Dy, and thank you, Jesus, for being there with him. I want to thank the whole staff at his office for being so good and kind to me and my wife.” ~ Clifford Woodruff
“Every visit is a pleasure and all here are very caring and all are my friends.” “ I cannot imagine going anywhere else and I won't!” I told all my friends to go here cause Dr. Dy and all are the best!” ~ Patrick Stephen Barker
“I feel that I’m better than I was” ….. “Yes, I would recommend” (to family and friends) ….. “Thank y’all for your services.” ~ Dennis P.
“This is the nicest facility I have ever been in, from the first visit everyone seems to remember your name and remember personal things about you.” I was “very satisfied” with the explanation of my diagnosis and treatment plan and “I have definitely seen improvements” since receiving care from this practice. “I am thoroughly impressed with how everyone works and carries themselves at this office.” ~ Kyle W.
“I came in with a complaint of extreme fatigue. My general doctor was out of town and due to family history I came here. My family are patients here as well. Someone always asks about the others. It’s like being part of another family. When my mom passed we got a precious card from everyone here. The overall concern for your well being makes appointments more comfortable. My health has definitely improved. I have and will recommend this office to anyone. My suggestion is "Please do not change a thing, you are all awesome!” ~ Rebecca B.
“I can’t remember before but I was in the hospital 2009 with heart failure. Dr. Dy took great care of me then. Anytime a questionable issue comes up during an exam, the issue is always taken care of immediately. I would recommend this practice to family and friends and have already. Not only are my cardio issues taken care of but as soon as you enter the cardio office you feel the warmth and love and care that this practice offers.” ~ Eula K.
“I was overweight with no real medical problems. Then my heart went into AFib. Dr. Dy shocked my heart and got it back in rhythm.” “Everyone is very friendly and you don’t have to wait in the lobby very long.” “Very satisfied” with the explanation of my diagnosis and treatment plan. ~ Mary T.
“Excellent” is how I describe my overall experience with this practice. I was “short of breath, heart racing and tired.” “After Dr. Dy put in 4 stents in 2023, he said he almost had to do open heart surgery. I felt grateful that he was able to solve my problem in the least invasive way. “Very satisfied” with the explanation of my diagnosis and treatment plan. “Staff is friendly and reassuring. I especially appreciate Dr. Dy’s straight-forwardness - tells it as it is.” ~ Clyde Robert Ferguson Jr.
