I really like Doc. Ayers. She is intelligent and friendly. Down to earth. I do not want anther doctor. I feel really lucky to have her taking care of my health.

This physician does not seem at all interested in seeing patients. I don't get the impression that she cares about making sure I am healthy. She looks only for the very most obvious problems, provide the minimal amount of testing possible, and dismisses any concerns I have as if I am an idiot. She does all this with a smile though.

Dr. Ayers and her nurse spent time beyond normal business hours (on a Friday) to treat me. They did so with patience and attention to detail.

Not the warmest provider
November 3, 2025
I would recommend Dr. Ayers to anyone, especially the people I care about most. She's been my main PCP for a few years now, and I can honestly say I've never had a doctor as truly competent, obviously dedicated, and pleasant to work with as her.

Very good
