My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

As an Ascension Medical Group doctor, I provide compassionate, personalized primary care. I believe practicing good medicine includes a partnership between doctor and patient – a partnership based on mutual trust and respect that is earned, not given. As a primary care physician, I have more time to develop close relationships with my patients, more carefully review records and perform more comprehensive exams. Being your personal doctor, we can work as a team and formulate a wellness plan that can help you better achieve your health goals. I also believe there are no shortcuts to being healthy, and no simple formulas or "one size fits all" approaches when it comes to the well-being of my patients. My primary care practice is focused on you and how we can help make a happier, healthier future your reality. 

With over 37 years of practicing in the greater Indianapolis community, I have relationships with many Ascension Medical Group specialists. I also have interests in cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension and preventive medicine. And my practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. And I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments. 

I see patients from all over central Indiana and have medical staff privileges at all the local Ascension St. Vincent Hospitals. I have been recognized as a distinguished physician member of the staff since 1986 and selected as a top internal medicine doctor in Indianapolis Monthly for several years.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Ayres

from Joan Z in IN March 21, 2024 for Gary M. Ayres, MD

Dr. Ayres has been a wonderful doctor for me and my husband before he passed almost 15 years ago with a glioblastoma burn tumor. He understands me, and he takes me seriously even though I have a lot of anxiety he gets me.

from Jane in IN March 14, 2024 for Gary M. Ayres, MD

We have been patients of Dr. Gary Ayres for 23 years after my husband experienced a cardiac episode that, fortunately, did not require surgery. At that time, we were preparing to move from our hometown. After we moved, my husband’s cardiologist was adamant that only Dr. Ayres should be his internist because of his stellar reputation in the medical community. So we both became his patients and… See more

from LINDA in IN March 10, 2024 for Gary M. Ayres, MD

Mom was misdiagnosed at first, my brother was misdiagnosed and my Dad was misdiagnosed. My trust level was low, my concern level was high. A friend recommended Dr. Ayres. I made an appointment and explained my concerns and just asked...."will you be the quarterback?" Not long after that my life slipped into a tailspin. Dr. Ayres took over, took care of me and coordinated everything… See more

Dr. Gary Ayres exhibits a very loving and caring demeanor...that is the first thing that you may notice. The next thing that you might notice is that he never seems to be in a hurry, although he is a very busy Doctor.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when signing up for the mdvip program, I just received rave reviews about Dr. Gary Ayer’s from one of my clients and thought I would look into it for my husband and myself.

Dr Ayer’s was extremely patient and thorough… See more
