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.
Excellent physician. Results better than expected.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ayer?
When I first came to Apex Spine, I had already had 3 prior back surgeries and was told that my spine was unable to be 'fixed'. I was unable to stand up straight, and each day I lived with unbearable pain. I was referred to Dr. Ayers and told he knew how to use new technology and guidance techniques to ultimately fix my spine. I consulted with Dr. Ayer and scheduled what was my 4th back surgery. Today, I am pain free, walking straight and back to my life! I can’t thank Dr.Ayer and his staff enough for truly giving me my life back!

Dr Ayre answered all my questions and made me feel confident. Had back pain for a few years till couldn’t walk. Recovering from surgery so much better than previous pain. The surgery was very successful and his assistants answered all my questions. Have recommended him to my daughter.

I was in severe pain with my lower back. I was not able to walk, sit, or even lay in bed. I had to have a laminectomy procedure done. Dr. Ayer was very attentive to my needs and did a fantastic job. I’m still recovering, but he is a wonderful doctor and I will recommend him to any and all! Thank you again Dr. Ayer, for making me pain free!
