    Dr. Ayoub was so helpful! He was observant, thorough, explained fully and used language that could be understood, expressed an opinion but left the decision to the patient. He even helped me access data from my smart watch.

      Dr. Ayoub is simply the greatest! He did a fine job with my successful cardiac catheterization procedure last October. I have also found him extremely pleasant and helpful to deal with. He shows excellent concern for my own concerns about my health.

      Dr. Ayoub was extremely personable and caring for my medical problem. When I rejected his initial recommendation, He did not disapprove, but offered multiple other options, and we agreed on a course of action and follow up. Should be noted that in a previous life, I was an Orthodontist.
