Reviews
I was nervous, they took care of me. Everything was professional and by the book.
Great doctor. Very professional office, easy to schedule.
Dr Ayyar had fantastic bedside manners and patient interactions. I felt heard, respected, and that my GI issues were being addressed with great attention and care. Staff were also just genuinely really nice people. I would highly recommend this office if you live near SA TX
Dr. Ayyar was knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time with me at my appointment. His bed side manner is wonderful. He’s easy to talk to and he’s a great listener. Staff is also friendly and helpful!
Dr. Ayyar and his team were terrific. Pleasant bedside manner across the board. Headed back in 5 years.
