Ayala Ricardo MD - Tallahassee (FL)

5 /5 J C: Dr. Ayala has been our trusted neurologist for many decades. We are truly sad that he is retiring and we greatly appreciate his extensive efforts to help us through the years.

1 /5 Mckenzie Baker: He needs to retire. My friend went to see this doctor for seizures and he tried to call them a “phenomenon.” He also proceeded to say that it was weird that she didn’t seek medical help until the third seizure….I don’t know if he doesn’t believe her or what, but damn he is really stupid for not at least ordering an MRI for SEIZURES and instead is not believing her. Disappointed but not surprised sadly.

1 /5 Nunya Bizwax: I took my grandson in to the office to see Dr Ayala. The office manager would not let him see the Dr. I have a notarized paper from my son giving me permission to take my grandson to the Dr. The office manager said it is not legal. I have used this same paper for 5 years to see Drs and even for grandson to have surgery. The office manager said Im a notary and this paper is not legal. Another Drs office told me how to write the paper out and have it notarized. My son called the office manager and he emailed my son some papers to fill out and email back. My son did this the same day of appt. It has been a month since the appointment time. We have left messages since to find out what is going on, both my son and myself, and they (I even left a message with someone else there, will not return our calls.

1 /5 L C: Took my daughter here this morning and I will never step foot in his office again. Tried to prescribe heavy antidepressant for my 13 yr old daughter who has tension headaches and the occasional migraine, after asking zero questions about her mental health or family mental health. He told her that he would have put her on topamax if she were 50 lbs heavier. Who talks to a 13 yr old girl about using off-label antidepressants to lose weight??? For reference she is of completely healthy weight. We just smiled and nodded and left. Anyway, Ill let her speak for herself about what we experienced. She says: This weird dude commented on my weight multiple times and how my cheeks were big because of me clenching my jaw. He also told me I had to go off of my PRESCRIBED headache medicine for 3 weeks even though I am starting school the day after this happened. He was trying to "get to know me" even though all I needed was a solution to my freaking headaches. He tried to prescribe me 3 other medications that wouldve taken a toll on myself. He made me uncomfortable at times and was saying weird things to me AS A 13 YEAR OLD. DO NOT GO TO THIS MAN IF YOU ARE ABLE TO. FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR I BEG OF YOU.

5 /5 Laura Anstead: During COVID Dr. Ayala was a life saver! When no one else was seeing patients in person, he made an appointment for me right away and later also fit another family member into his busy schedule. He is super informative. He takes the time to sit down and talk to you and explain the science. He takes the time needed to provide you with options to make an informed decision about your care. I cant thank him enough and highly recommend him.
