Dr. Mayor is very consistent with his work ethics and quality. He is top of the chart in all areas: consideration, interest in helping me understand my condition, knowledgeable, detailed oriented and supportive. During my last visit I had new symptoms and he quickly scheduled me for an ultrasound and planned a follow-up visit after the results. He was concerned and attentive to my medical needs and condition. I am always extremely satisfied with my visits with him and his wonderful and caring assistant.
