Dr. Layug is outstanding in every regard. I have never seen his expertise, professionalism, compassion and personal interest he takes in each and every one of his patients duplicated by any physician. No matter the reason for your visit, you always leave feeling totally satisfied and at ease with his planned approach to address your issue. He is very conservative in his treatment which has always made me feel that he doesn't want to apply a "quick fix" so he can move on to the next patient, but rather work to find a permanent, lasting solution that is right for the individual.

I can't begin to describe the difference between my prior Drs and Dr Layug. Patient and direct while still kind and informative. These are qualities all Drs should have!
