Patient Reviews
Jan 31, 2020
Dr Ayres and his Physician Assistant Bridgett, as always made my visit a pleasant one. Both were very patient focused and genuinely interested in how I was feeling after a year since my A valve replacement. I can say with confidence - as a team the two of them made my surgery experience a pleasant one. I would recommend Dr Ayes to anyone who is having heart issues.
