Excellent service
All Good
Excellent and professional service and atmosphere.
I love Emory.
Dr. Ayele did not listen, minimized the pain I am experiencing and overtalked me. She recommended additional test but told me based on the data I shouldn't be experiencing any pain after that I opted out of testing with her as It felt as just appeasing me not to genuinely help me find the reason for the pain. I have never had a back and forth with a doctor before. It was stressful and frustrating. What is most disappointing I read her research and watched her panel discussions online on Sarcdosis and asked to be referred to her because I thought she would be able to help and explain my condition. Horrible experience and will not return.
Very good
I think Dr. Ayele is excellent in communicating and ensuring I understand what we are discussing

An resident was shadowing Dr Ayele. He listened, asked questions, and was genuinely interested in how I was doing and my treatment needs.
Very good X
I like dealing with Dr. Ayele and have confidence in her judgment and knowledge.
Great service
I would like followup information on all the tests that the doctor ordered. I usually hear about one or two things but there are often results that are out of range and I never find out why.
Dr. Ayele is highly professional, expert in her field of study, thorough, exercised patient centered approach. I am so bless to have her as my doctor.
This was a follow up with Dr Ayele and I appreciated the time she took to listen to my concerns and to then discuss her thoughts for next steps and tests to be run. She was very thorough and professional
Dr Ayele was very kind, thorough and professional. She asked questions. She provided additional information and did not leave a stone unturned. She is an excellent rheumatologist.

Understanding and thorough.
Dr. Ayele and her assistant are very good.
Good experience and well satisfied.
Professional
The provider was an hour late coming into the treatment room and rushed through the visit. If I were that late, I would have been charged a fee!
Great
Everyone demonstrated the holiday spirits of compassion and good will.
I felt like my concerns were glossed over, like I didn't know my own body. I have Sjogrens and no discussion of what I am experiencing. My symptoms are getting worse and I need appropriate treatment which I did not get Considering changing physicians.
Highly recommend the doctor.
Dr. Ayele is a fantastic doctor she not only listens to your needs she completely checks out your needs!! Goes above and beyond what others might not be looking for and I love that!! She is very knowledgeable!! And will tell you exactly how it is and I love that about her!!!
I felt.very much that we worked as a team through good communication- very keen questioning- to arrive at the best treatment possible
Dr. Ayele is great
Actually I had the most time with the resident , Dr Song. He was excellent. Very unrushed in his question answering and asking. Took time to explain things when I asked questions regarding my condition. Brought in some real practical applications, which I appreciated. I really liked this resident and the way he treated me as a patient. And conveyed his knowledge and suggestions.

Dr. Ayele is great highly professional expert in her chosen field of study. She is thorough, has good listening skills and provides good feedback back.
My first time seeing the Dr. For all I had going on. She came in with a warm welcoming and I'm sure she had a beautiful smile under her mask. Very sweet and I like how she listen to everything I had to say about my problems and she showed concerns. I love how she explained to me about things into details about what may or may not be going on. I was getting worried about certain things she was saying, but she reassured me by telling me the positive outlook on my lab work. My examination was in details as she checked me. So my overall first time experience was great with her.
Doc was truly the best! Answered all my questions and made sure I was ok!
Everyone on Staff from doctor to housekeeping was very pleasant and professional and I had excellent care. Thank you very much
Dr Ayele is an excellent care provider . She keeps all the details and checks on everything about her patients
Good
Great service
The dr seemed insulted that I was referred to her by my pain mgmt doc and podiatrist. She would not just sit and listen to my concerns, she kept interrupting me to basically tell me I didn't know what I was talking about.
Dr Ayele includes me In decisions concerning my health options. I'm very grateful that she is my physican. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a excellent rheumatologist.
Dr. Ayele is friendly and gentle. She listens and works to ensure proper care
The doctor spoke very quickly and seemed rushed. When she asked me to take a deep breath, she only gave me about two seconds before she moved her stethoscope and asked me to take another deep breath. I was hyperventilating trying to keep up and then she asked me if I was often short of breath. I was trying to explain Why I was having a hard time, but I don't think she understood me.
She is the best physician that I have. She cares about her patients and personally gets back with you after your visits.
Feel very confident under her care, she is very compassionate and thorough.
Dr Ayele is a vary caring and attentive doctor
Dr.Ayele is a very caring doctor! She goes ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure you're taking care of yourself!! To taking the time out of her busy schedule to calling you back if your Labs aren't right to make sure that you're taking care of it that to me is looking out for your patient, cuz usually it's a nurse that calls not the doctor and I thought that was really special thank you Dr Ayele!!!
Very thoughtful and caring also informative
Dr. Ayele is obviously a very good Rheumatologist, but she can be excessively stern and unyielding. As an example, she indicated if the next test did not show improvement, she would put me on this other medication; without having explained anything about said medication of its side effects.
Doctor went above and beyond
I would 100% recommend.
Great info
I think she is the best!

Dr A and her assistant we're very nice and understanding patient and kind!!! I will recommend this woman to any other person she will give it to you straight no matter how anxious you are!!!! She will help you figure you out thank you Dr A for all your concerns!!!!
Dr. Ayele is always thorough about asking about my concerns and explaining her reasons.
Very thorough in her explanations & suggestions
Before Dr. Ayele, and before I was diagnosed with lupus, a doctor said I imagined my symptoms making me unsure who to talk to. Dr. Ayele listens to me and knows what is going on and helps me. I recommend her.
Hope I don't run into someone who needs her help, but I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Ayele -- She's excellent. Reminds me of doctors of 30-40 years ago: Good at listening, good at explaining, careful to manage expectations. There should be more like her.
Very attentive and make sure you understand what you are supposed to do. Will explain if you have trouble understanding her diagnosis or follow up care. Excellent
The doctor was excellent, thoughtful and thorough. Emory should commend her being a credible asset to the institution.
Wonderful visit.
Dr Ayele, always communicate with me Concerning my Lupus, including new medications and what to expect. What pain I'm experiencing.
I feel like my doctor was prepared for my appointment. Reviewing my file before entering the room.
My provider Dr. Ayele is the best.
Very impressed, as I have been with all the Emory doctors and specialists I've seen this year.
We greatly appreciate Dr Ayele! She is thorough and goes above & beyond caring for her patients. When I called with a concern she responded readily and again later that day made follow up call. Grateful for this kind of healthcare from her.
Dr. Ayele approaches the patient condition with logic and measured solutions
Dr Ayele is absolutely awesome. I am so thankful to be under her care !
Dr. Ayele went over each available option for the treatment of ostheoporosis in full detail which greatly helped my decision process.
I love my Doctor and my nurse is wonderful too I have no problems with your rheumatology department. They are great.
So thankful for her approach to treat a long time problem.
My experience could not have been better.
Good service.
She was in a hurry and stepped away to take a personal call
Dr explained my condition well. She solicited my opinion and addressed my concerns.
I really like Dr. Ayele. I think she genuinely cares and tries very hard to understand and address any concerns I share with her.
Detailed information regarding 2 alternative treatments and plan of action if a change from current treatment warranted.
Dr. Ayelet & Assistant was highly professional and thorough! I appreciate the great care I am receiving from her. I truly bless to have a very knowledgeable doctor who understands my complex medical situation.
Dr. Ayele is wonderful!
Dr. Ayele always exceeds expectations. She answers all questions in understandable terms and promptly follows through with any outstanding appointment items. Very grateful to have her as a care provider.
Very quick and her Asst Doctor did all the work.
I'd like another doctor. Spent more time interrupting me and not offering any tangible options for effective treatment
Dr Ayele was thoughtful and clear. She included me in decisions about my care.
Sincerely concerned about my health always.
My doctor being as busy as she is gave me her time and patience which I didn't deserve by the way because I was not on time for my appointment. I appreciated that because not everyone is as forgiving. I am Thankful for her giving me a chance. This helps me appreciate her more.
Good
I am very grateful for Dr. Ayele. She may not believe me when I say that I thought I was dying a few years back, but that just means I feel she saved my life in more than one way.
I greatly appreciate Dr Ayele and her expertise
Excellent Service
She is caring, provided excellent information and cared for my issue
Dr Ayele always listens carefully and explains her answers.
She told me I would lose my arm if I do not take the medicine. I asked If there Is another way of curing whatever I have so-called arthritis. She told me I should continue taking the medication that causes my fingers to swell and be stiff that causes me dizziness and I continue to have pain. I believe that the dr overcharged me exuberantly for my previous visit. I was looking for clarity from her but she told me that bcs the clinic is connected to the hospital the charges are much higher. I am concerned bcs I have a bill that does not make sense. I am having the bill disputed by Emory and also the insurance company. I will not return to Dr Ayele and will take my care to Resurgence.
I will not come back to see her and need some help finding a different physician as I need follow up. Who can assist me? It seems that did not like the fact that I was my own advocate.
The Doctor was very thorough in her examination.She took the time to explain things to me and address my concerns. She also called me personally with the results.I've never had that happen before.It was a great experience as I was able to ask her any questions regarding her resnotes without having to go through a assistant or email. The doctor gets a ten plus in my book she was great
I feel this doctor ticks absolutely every box I want ticked for my doctor. Excellent in all regards.
Superb/Outstanding/Excellent Physician care. Explained EVERYTHING and gave me her Undivided Attention. Already referred a friend relocating from Arkansas to Atlanta, GA area.
Dr Ayele was outstanding..I am so very thrilled and blessed to be under her care.
