AI Review Summary

Dr. Vijay Iyer acts professionally with patients and their families.

Amazing Dr couldn’t have asked for anyone more professional and friendly.
Very disappointing experience. Our child was misdiagnosed, despite Iyer seeing a reaction in front of him that clearly did not fit with his diagnosis. He had already made his mind up and simply did not listen to what we were telling him. He was adamant that he was right, despite the evidence in front of him suggesting otherwise. There was no empathy, listening or support. He came across as rude, condescending and dismissive, and at times it felt as though we were wasting his time and that our child simply wasn’t important. His examination of our child was forceful and frightened her considerably. Overall, the experience left us feeling completely unheard and unsupported. The level of care and manner we experienced was extremely disappointing and unacceptable.
