Dr. Ayers has performed two hernia surgeries on me without issue. Office manager Trish is the best...however office worker Debbie is rude, ignorant to my work situation and uncaring to me being a patient.

Dr Ayers is an amazing doctor. he treats you like a friend and not just a number. His skills are outstanding. If anyone is looking for a doctor that is amazing and you do not have to wait an hour in the waiting room, Dr Ayers is the doctor for you!! Also his support staff in the office is always polite and friendly!

I would not recommend Dr. Ayers or Riddle Memorial Hospital. He comes off as a very caring and understanding man however do not let that fool you. If something goes wrong with a procedure he will lie and Riddle will help cover it up. I know this as a FACT!!!! I only gave a one rating because you have to rate him other wise he would receive a ZERO !

Dr. Ayers recently performed surgery on my colon. I couldn't ask for a better doctor to have my health and life left to. When he was recommended, I was told he was the best. Well he didn't disappoint. And his office staff is awesome.

I've known Dr. Ayers for over 15 years. He has performed multiple surgeries with me as the patient (bilateral mastectomy, colon resection, and others). He's very committed to giving the best care he can give and he understands what his patients require from him. I strongly recommend him.
