For two years I was seeing him Dr. Ayo for my asthma and every month I got a steroid shot. And sometimes even two times a month. I have glaucoma and today I saw an eye specialist and my eyes were getting worse because I had too many steroids in my body, and because of this I'm getting surgery. They knew that I had glaucoma but still gave me so many steroids.

My grandmother is seeing this doctor, and she found out that she has Pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema a year after this doctor diagnosed her with it. And she found out because medicare refused to pay for something because of the disease she didn't know she had. And when she confronted the Dr Ayo he would sidestep her questions and told her he was busy and had to go. poor ethics and sounds like a disgusting human being. Current patients should beware.

I went to his office because I had previously been diagnosed with COPD. Long story short, his office staff is a mess, he couldn't find reports he couldn't get his staff to confirm various insurance related questions. When the bill came it was for a much higher level of service than what he had actually performed. There are much better options in the areaâ?¦ if not go downtown fort worth and you'll find people with more experience and better office organization.
