Dr. Iyer is one of the best doctors I have had in a long time. He is very patient. He explains things well and if you don't understand you will before you leave. Only sends you to specialist if he thinks it is necessary and will check with you to see if it's something you want to do. Anyway a truly great doctor.

I've been seeing Dr. Iyer for 5-6 years now, perhaps longer. He is truly a caring, concerned physician, fully explaining test results, conditions, medications, etc. In these days of "fast food" medical care, he takes all the time you want to explore conditions and options. Furthermore, everyone at Gadsden Family Practice is pleasant, helpful, and a delight to deal with. It would be hard to find a better general practitioner.

Feel like all he did was push antidepressants for anxiety/panic attacks which I don't even have. So frustrated!
