Dr Lisa Dyer was one of the most beautiful person I've known. Very radiant a Sunshine indeed.

Dr Dyer was highly recommended by my former co-worker as a doctor who skillfully turned a breech baby to the correct position. My second baby was VBAC baby and my third baby was a very challenging labor saved by a C-section baby - both she helped bring into this world. She was a beautiful human being and an empathetic doctor.

I did not know of her passing as our healthcare insurance provider changed quite awhile ago. Finally finding out I did not feel up to leave my condolences until now. Thank you Dr Dyer for delivering our healthy sons we adore into our lives.

Dr. Dyer brought love and light to everything she did. I was honored to work with her while I was on the Senior Mgmnt Team at Mills-Peninsula. She supported the Foundation as well as the Women's Center. Sending love and prayers to her family and friends. An angel.

It was only confirmed for me today that Lisa had left us. She was my doctor from shortly after she began her practice until circumstances were such that she left practice. She was always kind and compassionate and could always calm my fears before my surgeries. I even looked forward to exams because we had the greatest conversations and always made each other laugh! Giving, loving, funny, smart, and the most real person I have ever known. She is deeply missed.

I was a patient of Dr. Dyer in 1996 before I moved to Seattle. She gave me sound advice about a fertility issue at that time. My healthy sons are 17 & 18 because of that advice. I'm forever grateful & am sorry to find that she has passed. She was a Godsend to me & my husband. God bless her.

Lisa was my doctor, she made me always feel at ease and was fun to talk to, about anything! She is the nicest person. I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

On April 25, 1996 Dr. Lisa Dyer saved my life! She diagnosed me with ovarian cancer and operated on me along with the Head OB GYN from UC SF. I just found out today from my daughter who still goes to the Woman's Health Center. I recently moved out of state to AZ. Dr. Dyer was my favorite doctor due to her outgoing personality and listening skills. I am so sad to hear the news and wanted to send my condolences to her immediate and extended family. I KNOW she will be missed. One other thing I wanted to add is that she used to call me her miracle child. I guess because I was only 34 years old at the time I was diagnosed and operated on. Susan B.

Lisa was the first person I met when my family moved to Palos Verdes during my Sophomore year of High School. She immediately invited me to her home where many were gathering to build the homecoming float. It was the opportunity I needed to meet people. I will never forget her kindness to "the new girl'. My prayers are with her family.

To the Family of My Dear Lisa
I met her when when I worked at Peninsula Hospital, she was Brand New ...we became friends and soon she became my Dr and confidant.. she became a Mother ....she spoke to me regarding certain issues so I made her the Dream Catchers for her children we had many conversations regarding my Native American beliefs,traditions and the meanings behind the dream catchers,for many years after that she always Thanked me... but it is I that Thanked her for being in my life I was so grateful when she came back into the practice and I was able to see her and find out that her children still had the dream catchers I made them as little ones.... I am so saddend I did not hear of her passing as I would always call the practice and they never would give any information as to how she was doing... I can only wish I would have been there to Pray on her ... she was a special Lady one whom I will always respect and cherish... I wish you her husband and her children well ... lucky were you to have such a Beautiful woman and spirit in your lives she will always remain around you....Marie BlackOwl

Dr. Dyer was an outstanding advocate for my health and well-being, beyond the care I received under her practice. She did not hesitate to intervene whenever she thought I was not appropriately treated by other medical professionals - whether it was a blood draw that drew undue bruising or unforeseen consequences from a surgical procedure. Dr. Dyer also encouraged me to put a priority on my own emotional and spiritual health - she cared about the whole person. My condolences to her family and colleagues. I know we all feel the world appears dimmer, as she was a candle that burned very brightly.

Adios!

To the family of Lisa - I was searching for Dr. Dyer to make an appointment and her obituary came up. I wanted to tell you she was the absolute best doctor I've ever seen, she was truly amazing, caring, understanding and compassionate. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dr. Dyer was an amazing physician. She delivered both my children in 1993 and 1994. She was kind, respectful, compassionate, an educator of women's health and her overall personality was just wonderful. I am saddened to hear of her passing. Anyone who had the blessings to be her presence was blessed. She truly cared about her patients, never rushing. Her bedside manner was as if you were talking to an old friend. My condolences to her husband, children and family. May God continue to bless her soul. Thank you! GBS/San Mateo

I'm so saddened to learn that Lisa lost her battle with cancer. She is the reason I have three healthy children today. She was more than a doctor, but a kind and compassionate listener. I'm so sorry for your incredible loss. Prayers and love to your family and to all that will miss her.

Anne Johnson

Dr. Dyer safely delivered my son 20 years and three days ago during a very difficult delivery. I will always remember her kindness to me when I was pregnant and she reassured me that my weight gain was ok (she cited her own weight gain with her children). I've quoted her often over the years. I will always remember her and am deeply grateful that she brought my son into the world in a safe way. I am so sorry for your loss. Anne Johnson, San Francisco (and Peter Fish and Joe Fish).

Hello, Lisa.....You taught us more than ever how this earthly life steps into another. I returned from my trip to learn you'd gone. Yet, a mere glance at your picture brings the light through your smile and shining eyes. Thank you for the chance to share a time in our lives; and for sharing your passion of heartfelt service to our community of patients, families, healers. Your footprint on this planet is bold and glowing..... Deepest sympathy to your Awesome Family standing in this shining light, as we miss you! XXOO

My deepest condolences to all her family members who have been left without her. Dr. Dyer was such a wonderful physician and I was so lucky to have her as my Dr. for so many years - she will be deeply missed. She showed such strength, professionalism and kindness in all the times I saw her. I was so saddened to know of her passing but thankful she's no longer suffering. Thoughts & prayers to all she has left behind. Never will she be forgotten.

This Picture was taken at the Family Birth Center Christmas Party in 1993 (approx.) Both of these beautiful ladies, Lisa Dyer and Jeannette Ricard were warriors and taken way too soon.

My sincere condolences and prayers go out to Lisa's family and friends. She was my Dr for over 20 years and delivered my little girl. I loved her very much. Gone way to soon. We are not promised tomorrow so live love and laugh and make every day count. LouAnn Raucher.

Dr. Dyer was a wonderful and caring physician. Without her guidance and encouragement to seek fertility treatments and counseling I would not have my daughter today. Her love and light will be missed.

Lisa was one of my yoga students and a very enthusiastic one at that!
Even when she was in pain and quite challenged she would be there in class. I remember her keen sense of humor.
We will miss her a lot.

It is good to know I've had a friend of such significance whereby I can speak from the wellspring of her faith and courage, her family commitments and her service to so many knowing we've all been blessed by her kindnesses and her genuine light. So many blessings ❤ prayers and love to you all

Dear Dyer family. I met Lisa one time while visiting her mom. I felt the warmth and kindness of her being. I'm sure she will be missed by all who knew her. God has chosen to take her away to his house, but you will never lose your wonderful memories of Lisa.

Larry Heath

Lisa was a warrior in life. This facet of her being was so evident last September when I was fortunate enough to sit next to her during dinner at a family gathering in Orinda. She was humorous and philosophical about her deadly illness, but I could sense her tenacity of spirit. At that time she was taking frequent flights to Colorado to receive a new form of therapy she knew was a long shot to extend her life significantly. She fought for every second of life she could until overwhelmed by her disease. I will always hold this courageous woman, who led an inspiring life, in my heart.

March 28, 2017

My most heartfelt condolences to you and your family Jeff. I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa once at your house for band practice there with Renee. She was kind enough to put up with us there for hours.....
Blessings,

My deepest condolonces to the family. Dr.Dyer was kind ,very gracious and a wonderful person inside and out. She was funny and her laughter was contagious. Rest in peace Dr. Dyer.

Sandra Stamer

I was a patient of Dr. Dyer's for many years. She was always kind, attentive and a pleasure to see...even when I was feeling worried or had to undergo some uncomfortable procedures. The last time I saw her was the day before she took a leave from her practice due to her condition. As she evaluated me while I sat on the examining bed, she carefully but forcefully pulled my shoulders back and reminded me to sit up straight to avoid "dowager's hump". We laughed about it but I have never forgotten that quick admonishment and to this day I remember Dr. Dyer every time I find myself consciously sitting straighter. This patient will always remember Dr. Dyer as one of the best physicians I have ever had. My sincere condolences to her entire family and all her dear friends. With appreciation and love, Sandra Stamer

Lisa will be greatly missed. Jeff, I am so sorry for your loss. I am so shocked. She was an amazing doctor for me for 25 years. I remember her sarcasm, the hilarious story of when her friend was trying to set you two up. I was lucky to know her personally at church as well.

My heart goes out to her family. She was a rock star in every possible way. What I remember about her most besides being an incredible surgeon, and a fantastic mom was her willingness during a business meeting to stand up for what was right, even if she was standing alone. She had Chutzpah and she's going to be missed by all that knew her.

Sharon Fekete
