Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Awesome!
Dr. Ayala and his staff are awesome! They are professional, yet very caring. Dr. Ayala's staff took care all my referrals and made everything easier. I had a rare case of soft palate perforation. When other doctors denied me, Dr. Ayala took my case and fix it. Thank you Dr. Ayala and team!

Exceptional!! Dr. Ayala and his staff are very professional, caring and helpful. They assist me with all the referral, medication, etc. I really did not need to do anything. Most importantly, Dr. Ayala took my case while other doctors wouldn't. I had a very complicated rare case of perforated soft palate and Dr. Ayala fix it throughly after did various of test. I am very happy with the result. I am able to talk, eat and drink properly now. Thank you Dr. Ayala and team. I truly appreciate you.
