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.

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 has been my Cardiologist for more than 12 years and during that time he has provided me with exceptional service including two pacemaker operations. I would not trust any other Cardiologist with my life as I do with Dr. Layher.

Dr Layer is an outstanding physician and an even better person. He has cared for me and about me for close to twenty years and will continue to be my cardiologist of choice as long as I breathe, or until he retires😁
