"I had my colonoscopy after putting it off for years, I’m so happy I got it done. The hardest part was the prep of the medication to drink the night before. Dr Ayyar, was awesome before my procedure he explained what was going to happen next, and then they prepped me and I woke up and it was over. Dr Ayyar was so kind."
"Answered all my questions and had a plan for me that made sense."
"First time seeing Dr. Ayyar of the Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio and the over experience was very pleasant and I was handled with care from every member of the staff. Will see them again in 10years."
"Dr Ayyar is very compassionate, professional, and caring. Even with a scheduling issue not with Dr Ayyar however he very kindly worked me into his schedule making my procedure very comfortable and not rushed. Thank you Dr Ayyar for taking care of me."
"Dr.Ayyar was kind and knowledgeable. He spent time helping me understand my concerns and what our course of action would be. I was seen promptly, and all follow up was taking care of seamlessly. I have in fact recommended him to three family members in the last month. If you are looking for someone who is interested in patient care, Dr. Ayyar is for you."
"First and foremost, nobody wants to get a colonoscopy. However, if we have to get one, Dr. Ayyar is the Doctor I would recommend along with the incredible staff at Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio. From the sweet ladies at reception, to the incredible nurses and the attentive and professional Anesthesiologist- this entire experience was better than i even imagined it could be. Do not get me wrong, as much as I adored the entire team, the Prep still sucked, and I am glad I get a break for 10 years. BUT this review is on the clinic and the staff, and I can't say enough good things about them. Truly a professional group that is also compassionate and caring."
"I was diagnosed with IBS in 2008 when living in Indiana. I moved to Texas in 2020 and then moved to San Antonio in 2021. I lost all my doctor's that I had in Indy and was struggling to find replacements.
In January 2023 I had another IBS attack that just didn't fit the normal attacks in the past. I ended up at an Urgent Care and they recommended that I see Dr Ayyar. I had set up the appointment and reached out to my family doctor Dr. Larry Baros and they also recommended that I see Dr Ayyar.
I am so glad I found Dr Ayyar's office. The staff are amazing and Dr Ayyar is as well. This IBS attack has lasted far too long but Dr Ayyar has been there for me each step of the way. He listed to me which in my past none of the GI doctors that I had would. He took time to help me figure out what was happening and when one med would not work he was quick to help me find one that would. He is very kinda and cares about his patients. I know I would not be able to find another doctor like him nor a staff that cares like this group."
"The experience was great. Dr. Ayyar was helpful, nice, and friendly. also, everyone was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable."

"The doctor saw me right away. I did not have to wait."
"The staff was very friendly! The wait was a little longer then expected for my procedure! But it was all good! The doctor was very good! Everyone made me feel very comfortable. I was a little nervous having my first colonoscopy but they made me feel comfortable!"
"doctor was great and the staff was awesome as well. Thank you for the procedure done I really appreciate you guys!"
"The entire staff was excellent. They were clear and paid attenton to details. They made a very uncomfortable procedure comfortable."
"Very comfortable and easy conversation before and after the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Ayyar for his professionalism and reassuring presence."
"Dr. Ayyar and the staff are very pleasant and professional.
Easy experience."
"My experience was exceptional. The team diverted a disaster. My appt was unknown to me canceled. After prepping all weekend and showing for my scheduled time I was shocked and upset. I asked the team for someone to step up and help my situation. Well, that is exactly what they did. They arranged to get me reassigned to Dr Ayyar and my procedure went timely and professionally. I only have accolades for the team as in today's world of service failures, they were compassionate and problem solvers."
"Listened and didn’t feel rushed. Staff were all welcoming."
"Dr Ayyar was amazing! Simple as that!
If you need a Gastroenterologist, Dr Ayyar is your best option"
"Dr. Ayyar and everyone was great. They made probably the most uncomfortable thing I've ever done as comfortable as possible. Everyone was very communicative about every step along the way. Would definitely recommend."
"Dr. AYYAR is my new primary GI physician. He did my colonoscopy and labs. He changed his schedule to do a consult immediately and was very receptive to patient suggestions. He explained in simple terms what I needed to do and he followed up immediately. Highly recommended. Very compassionate! God bless and be Safe. Randall ADKINS"
"Excellent service. Recommended highly."
"Dr. Ayyar was compassionate and understanding. He listened to me without me feeling rushed. In addition, he explained everything to my understanding and allowed me to ask questions. He gets 5 out of 5 stars!"
"Dr Ayyar was very kind and calming. He spoke to me patiently and reassured me of all that was going to occur. The procedure went off without a hitch. I highly recommend him and this practice. The whole process was very smooth and easy to do. My only complaint was it was very difficult to get anyone on the phone and to make an appointment. I submitted a request for an appointment online and was never contacted. I had to call. And when I did call, I would either wait for a very long time or have to put my number in for a callback. And that callback wasn't always when I was still available. That was painful. Otherwise, the day of was a quick and smooth experience."
