Reviews
Dr. Ayyar is an exceptional listener who genuinely cares about addressing patient concerns. His attentive approach during our consultation made me feel heard and valued. I highly recommend Dr. Ayyar for anyone seeking personalized medical care.
Everyone was very helpful and nice from beginning to end, which is a good thing knowing that you are about to have a colonoscopy.
Great facility! Great staff! Great doctor! From check-in to (essentially)check out, the process was a breeze. The staff did an amazing job explaining the procedure, walking you through the anesthesia process and the recovery nurse explaining the remainder. Would 100% recommend Dr. Ayyar to family and friends!
I saw Dr Ayyar about 3 weeks ago. I was a new patient as my previous Dr. had retired. He is a wonderful doctor who took his time explaining everything to me. I feel blessed to have him as my new gastroenterologist. skp
Dr. Ayyar was very attentive to my GI concerns. He offered me a couple of options, and allowed me to make the decision, with the option that the more involved option would still be available if my chosen lesser course didn't work. I appreciate his willingness to have me involved in the treatment decision after presenting the options.
