Reviews
Dr Ayyar was recommended to me by a staff member and due to the urgency of my situation, I was scheduled for an immediate colonoscopy. His team worked with me to get all my prep and procedure done within 24 hours. What really stood out was the follow up phone call from Dr Ayyar with the results and the time he spent explaining everything to me and helped relieve the anxiety I was having. I strongly recommend Dr Ayyar and will continue to have him oversee my treatment.
Very friendly doctor, knowledgeable and interested in my health. Strongly recommend this practice
He was very good. Everyone also in the clinic was very nice and helpful.
Dr Balaji Ayyar is great. He gives you his full attention and is easy to talk to; takes very good care of me. His staff is also amazing.
Had a very good visit with Dr. Balaji Ayyar and he took my concerns to heart and even conferred with one of his colleagues.
