Dr. Alayof and his entire office staff was great. Arrived 20 minutes before appointment time, answered a few questions and was in a room in less than 10 minutes. Staff was very professional and friendly. Dr. alayof covered everything we needed to, answered all my questions and concerned and discussed next steps in my treatment. Very friendly and a comfortable to talk to.
