Online appt was quick and easy. Made appt 8pm the night before for 11am next day appt. Great bedside manner, listened to all my strange symptoms. Wife made an appt before we left the office.
One of the best Dr appointments we have ever had. The Dr was knowledgable and talked to us with kindness and helped us figure out how to lower allergic reaction so my son could comfortablely play sports outdoors!!!

verygood thank you
Dr. Ayars seems very hurried in his approach - I felt rushed the entire time. It seemed like he was focused on getting me in and out of there in the shortest possible time. He ordered a standard panel of allergy tests, while I had gone in with primarily food allergy concerns (of course, I wasn't given a full chance to explain it to him). The standard panel had no food allergy tests, and I was only told this after I asked.
The entire staff and doctor were great!

Dr. Ayars was great. He was friendly and professional. He greeted me right from the waiting room which I really liked. In the past with other doctors a nurse or assistant called my name and I followed them to an exam room where I waited for the doctor to arrive. I thought this was just a very nice unexpected way to start out. The entire visit was efficient and did not take long, which I really appreciate. I am going back for a follow-up in 10 days and look forward to seeing him again.

visits - plural - I have been under Dr. Ayars care for about 3 years now. In fact, I am convinced the staff misses me as I was going into the office 2-3-5 times a month. They entire office AND Dr Ayars has treated w/ competence, education, caring, and concern.
