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.

Great Cardiologist! I would recommend Dr. Hays to anyone having heart related issues as he will get to the bottom of it and provide the best possible treatment. I suffered what is commonly known as the "widow maker" several years ago. I'm alive today because of the treatment I received from Dr. Hays and his fine staff of professionals.
