I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Ayers. he repaired an ACL in 2009 that healed perfectly. when I injured my other knee there wasn't anyone I'd see than him. his approach, wit, humor and professionalism was and is refreshing. his knowledge promotes a high degree of confidence in his diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Ayers was totally professional, and even treated a different problem than I had when I scheduled the appointment. He gave me an injection for my problem that fixed the problem within 2 days..... Awesome!
