"Dr. Ayad helped us through what could have been the worst days of our lives as parents. His compassion and empathy for our son, combined with thoughtful and clear communication, gave us hope and helped us through this difficult time. He was collaborative and guided our son's remarkable recovery through shared decision making. We are so grateful for the care care our son received under Dr. Ayad and would recommend him to family and friends without question."

"I was admitted to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital with the worst headache I ever had and diagnosed with a brain aneurysm which required surgery. Dr. Ayad was my neurosurgeon there, he took plenty of time to explain what happened to me and what the next steps would be, He was cheerful, upbeat and most importantly, instilled confidence by his demeanor and personality. I was more than impressed with the care he and his team provided in such a positive and gracious way. Especially given the stress medical personal have been under during the pandemic for the last two years. The surgery went well and I feel very lucky and thankful that Dr. Ayad happened to be my doctor."

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
