With Dr. Layher leaving Trinity Health, I will be following him to his new location. He gives me the level of comfort care that that gives me the confidence that requires that I continue to be under his care.

I like that the Dr himself reads about what is input by his nurse and discusses anything that needs to be addressed! Most Drs do not take the time to do that!

I'm so glad I saw an excellent cardiologist instead of relying on primary care doctors for 30 years who didn't really help me maintain a good blood pressure.

great job!

The man basically saved my life. When I told him my symptoms he immediately knew something was amiss and sent me for a stress test. I needed a triple bypass and now, because he listened, I am still here.

Dr. Layher is one of the kindest and most caring people I have ever met. He probably spends more time with each patient than he should. He is an excellent doctor. I highly recommend him

Dr. Layher is very attentive and always has time to answer my questions. He’s not ‘in it for the money.’ He really cares.

Dr. Layher is very intelligent and passionate about cardiology. He listens to questions and answers them comprehensively and in a way that is easily understood by a non-medical person. He is friendly and never seems rushed or impatient. I feel lucky to have Dr. Layher as my Doctor.
