Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND DR. DAYRIT
At my first appointment, I waited 45 minutes before being seen. He briefly discussed my issue and sent me for a test. I waited over eight weeks with no communication or follow-up regarding the results.Today, I showed up at 8:00 AM for a follow-up. The office was nearly empty, yet I still waited 30 minutes without being seen. I ended up walking out.This entire experience has been a waste of my time. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this doctor to anyone seeking timely or professional care.

Cancels appointments or just doesn't show up
It's hard to write this review because I have never actually even seen him. After having a sleep study done, I was referred to Dr. Dayrit. The first appointment was scheduled for a month after my sleep study (first available) but then was canceled by his office a few days before my appointment. It was rebooked for the first available appointment (WHICH WAS THREE MONTHS LATER)!!! I show up to this appointment, wait over an hour in the treatment room only to find up that he never showed up for the appointment. So now 6 months after being diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, I am still waiting to see a Doctor thanks to this dude missing two appointments.

Dismissive and rude
I saw him after a sleep study which clearly showed issues. The sleep center staff was very concerned. He dismissed all my concerns and said nothing was wrong. I walked out in tears and never went back.

Not interested
Dr. Dayrit doesn’t really talk to you like a person. He just looked at computer and asked questions unrelated to the reason for my visit and then ended the visit with no answers to my problem. Plus he seemed inappropriate in the questions he asked. It felt creepy.

He is terrible
If you want to hurt yourself, go and see him otherwise ; stay away from him . He does not listen , he has a poor judgment medically and socially . He just takes notes and his notes after being published in My Chart , have a few mistakes because he does not listen to the patient .

He is rude, doesn’t listen, spends time looking at computer and asks inappropriate questions unrelated to breathing problem. I would not recommend him. He also put inaccurate information in my file.

He made me wait for 90 minutes the first visit and I left the next visit after 45 minutes. During the visit, he spent most of his time on the computer and not talking to me. I have a new doctor, he was just awful.

I’ve seen Dr Dayrit for sleep issues for 3 years and have found him very generous with his time despite clearly busy clinic. He is thorough and thoughtful. His nurse, Jamie, is super efficient about getting things done j(prescriptions etc) between appointments. Dr Dayrit has been great with me - explaining test results, diagnosis, medications. I give him high marks all round.

I was anxious regarding my shortness of breath, but Dr. Dayrit put my mind at ease. He was thorough and did a complete pulmonary breathing study and will order a sleep study as well. His advice to begin a weight loss and exercise regimen was what I knew in my heart was needed. I liked his attitude and persona. The entire office staff was wonderful....
