“Supremely knowledgeable and skilled. Warm and comforting. Seeks to use medical therapy when possible, resorting to surgery only when there's no alternative. Trained in the best medical centers in the world. I would travel across the country to continue to see her -- there is no better urologist anywhere.”
“Dr Rayala was very informative and helpful --She is a professional in the true sense and I would say to be in her care is to be with one of the best in her specialty.”
“Anxiety and fear of the unknown accompanied me to our first meeting. Dr Rayala explained how things work down there (what psa #'s mean, how procedures go etc), so I left in better spirits than when I went in. Now after 4 years I can say that she is a kind, compassionate physician as well as a highly skilled one.”
