My experience today was very nice. Everyone was very professional and nice. I particularly liked my doctor, Dr. Alayof. He listened to every concern I had and put most of mine fears to rest. We decided on strategy together. I didn't feel rushed nor did he make me feel silly or foolish with some of my questions. I give him a 10!

I absolutely love Dr. Alayof. He's just, he's thorough. He informs you of everything that he's doing. He makes you a part of the decision-making process. And his medical assistant that was with him when I last saw him, she was outstanding. Absolutely loved her.

Simply amazing. Dr. Alayof and the entire team I encountered from front office to back office are incredible every time I come. It makes having to see a cardiologist much less scary when you highly trust the staff and they treat you with respect and care. Dr. Alayof is apart of the elite team for sure. The care and attention he pays to my health versus the previous experiences I've had with doctors who don't take me serious give me back confidence that there are still providers like him who actually care and pay attention to detail.
