He’s horrible, disrespectful, treats you like a number and less of a human being. I will never go to that doctor again or recommend anyone choose this doctor as their pcp unless they like to play Russian roulette with their life. This doctor is not trustworthy at all. Be scared.

Complained about pain in ankle, was sent for exray and result came back in aprox. 3 days. No one called me, and about a month after when i was in terrible pain and called; they told me the doc would call me the next day. No call came I went and was told I had a fracture. I still had to go back the next day for a referral, and when I ask why not on contacted me, Dr Ayala informed me he cannot control what his administration does. That was very unprofessional. My orthopedic doc sent a referral for a brace from 2/08/22, I have not gotten it as of today 3/03/22. This office is a total joke.

Started with dr ayala in January of this year 2021. My husband and I went there because he took our insurance and my previous dr who I really liked didn’t any longer. Also his office was very conveniently located for us. Care was not great but not bad, until this last visit. Went to him for blood work. Usually you go back to the office for results. I got a call before I was to visit the office and was told he wouldn’t be available so nurse practitioner would call me and give me my blood results as well as my urinary results. Np called me on the day I was suppose to have my visit. Gave me blood results and told me I had a UTI. She called in an antibiotic in to Walgreens and told me to call back to make an appt with dr Ayala for a recheck and follow up for infection. So I did. I was shocked wen I walked in and both the dr and his assistant did not know why I was there. They both told me this is not the way we do things. Oh it gets worse. Dr went over my results and proceeded to tell me that I did NOT have an infection. I said are you kidding? I took a week of antibiotics and I don’t have an infection? I don’t like taking meds of any kind and here it was I put meds in me I NEVER needed. He blew it off and said I’m the dr not the np. I have the credentials not her. So I said why did she then call me with results that were not verified by you? Or were they? He had no words no apology and took no responsibility like it was nothing. I would never ever recommend this dr or this office to anyone! Beware of this terrible dr and his incompetent office staff! Stay away!!!!! Started with dr ayala in January of this year 2021.

Dr Ayala has an incredible ability to quickly diagnose every medical problem I have had. He truly has a gift. I have complete faith in his ability to see beyond the superficial symptoms and identify the less obvious, yet more critical problem.

Today i came to my appt, everything was good as always. Dr Ayala, is my primary doctor for 10 years or more. He was always very acertive with my diagnosis and gave me the appropiate medications. He has many years of experience and he is a very smart Doctor. I have never had a problem in his office. I am very happy with them. They make me feel as family. The manger and the staff always on point and ready to help in any way they can 100% great service Today i came to my appt, everything was good as always.

I had a great visit with Dr. Ayala and his staff. I received a very friendly greeting and did not have to wait at all to be seen. The doctor took his time to understand everything that I needed to tell him. He was very thoughtful and showed concern as he explained to me what my problem was and the course of treatment I would need. I have never had a bad visit at his office And was always treated with respect. If ever I have a question about my insurance, the office manager is quick to get an answer for me.

Overdosed my medication and has a horrible reputation in town for unethical behavior towards his female patients.

I had an appointment with them today set up two months ago... They took my inrance in the phone but when I got there they said oh sorry we don't take your insurance I have Florida blue HMo like really who does take Florida blue anyways they said took my temp. At the door which was great but as I got in the door had to put gloves on after the state said no gloves... I asked how much is a regular check up with out insurance they said 80. Really highway robbery if you asked me... Rant over I had an appointment with them today set up two months ago...

Worst doctor ever. Disrespected me in front of my wife and grandson. Wanted to take my insurance for a ride and redo all the exams previously done by my doctor in Hollywood, FL. Would not prescribe me unless I saw his contacts. He was just rude from the moment I stepped into his office. I would not recommend him to my worst enemy.

Less than standard of care.

Called several times and was unable to make an appointment. Unfriendly nurse practitioner has a horrible attitude.

The office staff are a bunch of idiot's. They never pick up the phone and tried to charge me cash money for a visit that my insurance would cover. Stay away from this office.

Doesn't want to give referrals to specialists had to file a complaint with care plus to get my referral.

I have been a patient for many years now. For the most part I have no problems. The doctor is honest and blunt. If hand holding and sugarcoated words are what you are looking for than turn away. Looking for controlled substances..turn away. He is here for real health concerns. Yes, I have had to wait on occasion. I think of me in that room and him taking extra time for me. You must be as concerned for your health as he is and .make sure he understands your concerns. At times there are miscommunication between the staff and you. Just take a breath and start again and be heard kindly. I have been a patient for many years now. For the most part I have no problems. The doctor is honest and blunt.

Couldn’t get better Doctor. Very Happy.

If you’re ever scheduled to get blood work done, their is no one better than Angelica at Ayala M.D.! She is the best hands down!

He has no professional ethics, he does not listen to the patient and I do not trust his knowledge as a doctor. I do not recommend it.

I am calling and calling all day , it says in the website opens at 7am and close at 7 pm. No one is answering the phone. Very unprofessional people.

Had an appointment to see Dr Ayala, after waiting two hours I left the office to my surprise the doctor was outside his office speaking with a landscaping company telling them were he wanted the flowers and bushes, so unprofessional, wasting my time.

He is my moms doctor and they want to see you even for a refill and we waited almost two hours and is not the first time. The office staff is nice except Eddie the nurse.

Made an appointment for 1 o'clock and they said they had me for 1200. Didn't ask me to reschedule and din't even realize I was on the schedule for today, blew my mind as I had to be insistent I had an appointment which she finally found. This is more a walk-in clinic and I do not recommend this to anyone.

My friend and neighbors are patients of Dr. Ayala and are being treated very badly. Dr. Ayala refuses to give them referrals to specialists. He has repeatedly denied my neighbor a referral to a lung doctor, now my neighbor is having radiation treatments for lung cancer. Neighbor's spouse needs a wheelchair and is told she must get a referral for one from Dr. Ayala, primary physician. Nothing, no response from him. Nurses have also tried to get a response from this doctor in request for referrals and are ignored. Do not go to this doctor. If you are already a patient, get smart and find a new primary physician.

Best doctor ever always used him since he opened in Gibsonton.

The greatest doctor I've had. Very attentive and easy to talk to about those very personal issues. Great job Doc.

I speak English! I Never had or have a problem with this doctor. He's been my doctor for over fifteen years. He's excellent and to the point. Super intelligent and resolves patient issues. I been to other doctors in the past. There's no comparison. I recommend him highly!

Do not go to this place. This doctor was listed as my primary physician bb my insurance company. I went there because I had a UTI the doctor refuse to check it out. He told me to wait a week till his nurse practicioner came back. I ended up going to the emergency room while waiting on them.

My father has always been a healthy active man. In all my life I've never known him to take medication. He starts seeing Dr Ayala and gets prescribed 5 different medications! I started getting concerned and researched one of the meds & found out it was for diabetes. My father wasn't told he had diabetes. He took labs but no explanations. The dr doesn't communicate. Just writes prescriptions. When my father asked about the Metformin RX his response was "yes, you're a diabetic." No counseling on how to adjust his diet either verbally or brochures. He finds out one month after taking this medication that he was a diabetic. No counseling on watching his sugar. No communication. If my father would have been educated while he was on "borderline diabetes " this could have been avoided. Very irresponsible. I would NOT recommend this Dr to anyone. Lastly who writes a prescription for aspirin? He writes a RX for aspirin without informing my Dad why. My father has always been a healthy active man.

I felt like the doctor didn't care. When I told him I wanted to get exams done at a different place he got mad. I got them done anyways and later came to see him so he could read them and he wanted me to do the same exams in his clinic. Doesn't answer questions to the full extent.

I was told they prefer Hispanic patients and I should find a different primary dr.

I DON'T NOT RECOMMENDED THIS OFFICE! PLEASE DON'T GO!! I would not even give them a star but had too to complete a review. My father has been going to this office for almost a year. We have been complaining about my dad pain and how he feels, it took them 6 months to refer him to a specialist, my dad was diagnosed with cancer in January after getting the results back from the specialist, my dad is now too far along to get chemo therapy or radiation. They refused to submit the authorization for him to be seen with the specialist and lie ever time they say they submitted it. Today was the last straw! My dad had a treatment plan set up for today and they did not submit the referral until I called them and it was processed after I called the insurance but it was to late for him to get it today. I'm switching doctors for him. The office staff is rude! And you have to always call them to make sure they are doing there job or your paper work will never get submitted including your prescription. Please its to late for my father, don't let this happen to you!! I DON'T NOT RECOMMENDED THIS OFFICE! PLEASE DON'T GO!! I would not even give them a star but had too to complete a review.

Dr Ayala is fantastic !

He has been very concerned about my issues. This doctor explains my conditions and arranges labs and followups. I arrived at this office after having it out with an uncaring doctor with the bedside manner of a brick. The Valrico clinic can keep that one (on the shelf). cns

I lost my respect for this doctor. I paid for my personal record and I left that clinic. It is a nightmare! The staff is rude. They do bot answer phones or they hang up on you. I spoke to the doctor made excuses and told me go to another doctor what I did. I do not recommend this doctor.

Worst Doctor's office ever!!! Called and asked if they could fill out an RMI form to return to work,on the phone the person said yes. Scheduled an appointment and went to see the doctor, waited in the room for like 45 minutes. Then the doctor walks in,looks at the foot,and says I can't help you. Asked for a refund,and guess what,they couldn't do it. Cause the doctor took time out to see me. I will never refer anyone to this office. Horrible Worst Doctor's office ever!!!

If you speak English as your first Language, avoid this place. I went in with three ailments and left with 3 "perscriptions" for OTC items that could be found in my Fridge. My first Dr visit in 3 years (after I finished my USN service), and I am told to go home and drink fluids. 10 years of military and IB profren to fix all, and this is the answer i get from this place. Dont waste your time or money here unless you dont speak english or you dont have insurance!!!! All of the prices are listed on boards, for the unisured. I guess that should have raised the RED flag instantly!!! I am the fool in this this story for not walking out then!! pay for the Dr visit and get perscribed tyelnol extra strength!!! thanks If you speak English as your first Language, avoid this place.
