Reviews
Dr. Ayyar and his team were amazing! The staff was very sweet and patient. I highly recommend Dr. Ayyar to my family and friends. - Deb
Personable Doctor and clinic staff.
The clinic is very well set up I came in 1 hour before my appointment the paperwork took all of 10 minutes to fill out they took my vitals brought me upstairs and within another 10 to 15 minutes I was wheeled into the procedure room and I was out of there before my wife was able to get home she turned around and got me I had a 730 appointment and I was home by 9 very quick very professional there was not one thing I experienced that was negative about the entire experience.
Dr. Ayyar is very knowledgeable and responsive. The first time I saw him was after I had been to emergency room multiple times but they just kept running different test. He came in and did a scope and was able to diagnose the problem right away. Prescribed the medicine and was relieved right away. This last time I had left my medicine on a visit and set up a appointment at which time he gave me a new prescription and all is well again. i highly recommend him and his staff for any of your gastric problems.
I had a great experience at this practice getting my colonoscopy. The staff was very nice and informative and took great care of me.
