I know how difficult it can be to get to know a doctor online. The web is a very impersonal place, so I highly encourage anyone interested in medical advice to make an appointment with me. Meeting in person is the best way to make sure we find the treatment that is right for you.
Regardless, hearing from some of my past patients may help you make an informed decision. This page provides a collection of resources to hear about some of the work I have done in the past, including newspaper articles and patient reviews.

Dr. Ayyagari is an extremely gifted, talented and caring physician. He treated me for an enlarged prostate with the prostate embolization procedure. I experienced a splendid and miraculous result. Within hours after I returned home from the procedure, I noticed very positive results. My urination went from 3/4 times a night to once and sometimes none. The half full, half empty symptom disappeared completely and stream went from weak to strong. None of the possible adverse effects occurred.

My prostate operation is showing positive results including a much improved sex life; i.e., Mr. Midnight has come to life again! The operation was in January and now it is May, it took a good month before I started seeing results. Urination is much steadier; I can make it through the night with only one trip to the head.

My experience with Dr. Ayyagari was one of comfort, care, respect, and welcome. His down to earth, clear, clean explanations were more than what I expected. He brings a freshness of presence into the room which is uplifting. He comes across with confidence, knowledgeableness, and instills reassurance. He is not superior, intrusive, overbearing or distant.

Sought DR. Ayyagari out for BPH problems asking about a prostate embolization procedure having constant urgency and frequency issues. He preformed the procedure about a year ago. Urgency and frequency issues are gone. Nocturnal visits to the bathroom are maybe once a night, sometimes none. I looked at many options like Green Laser procedure and other invasive procedures. This was the best option for me and would highly recommend it.

I saw Dr. Ayyagari to have a Prostste Artery Embolization. I was concerned about any complication (although rare) with a transurethral resection. Dr Ayyagari was very professional and I felt quite confident in his abilities. The procedure was not painful but probably because of my arterial calcifications, I needed to have second procedure. The embollization has worked and I have discontinued all medications. Throughout Dr. Ayyagari was one would expect from a highly qualified caring physician.

I went to Dr. R. Ayyagari (RA) for a PAE--a state of the art procedure to address BPH. RA was patient and thorough in explaining what the PAE entailed. He successfully advocated for me with my insurance company. On the day of the operation, I felt in the hands of an extremely competent and sensitive medical team. Dr. RA's post-operation follow-up was immediate and sustained through my recovery period. My life has been transformed thanks to Dr. Ayyagari expert care and I feel most fortunate.

He took time to explain everything well and was very honest about potential outcomes. The procedure went well and recovery was as advertised. When questions arose, or medication was a problem, he was right on it. His followup has been very attentive and I have had good results.
