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 think Dr Hayes is the best, no frills just basic good medicine, he takes his time with you and returns calls himself. I always recommend him.

Amazing doctor!
Dr. Hayes has been my primary care physician for about 15 years. He is the most compassionate and thorough doctor I have ever seen and truly cares about his patients. His in depth knowledge of so many illnesses and ailments is amazing! He frequently treats me for things that would usually require a specialist, saving me time and money. His staff is also amazing and I couldn't be in better hands. I have considered moving out of state and he is a top reason for staying in the Chicago area. I am lucky to have found him and be in his caring hands. 5 stars for Dr. Hayes!!

He is funny and makes you feel at ease.
He talks funny phrases in Korean that he learned from Korean speaking nurses in New York such as "Help me! I am in pain" with a Korean grandmas' accent. I always think it is very endearing and make feel very comfortable.

He shot me up with corticosteroids for 18 years then dumped me as a patient. My body stopped producing steroids on its own and I ended up in the hospital for two weeks. Because of this, I now have 15 medical conditions and I have to take a dozen medications.

My brother recommended I see Dr. Hayes. He has saved my brother and just wants his patients to be well. I went in for respiratory and the doctor found a much bigger problem. I am happy to report I am on the mend and I am grateful to the doctor for not demanding I make another appointment... which is the norm. This doc is ACES in my book!

Dr. Hayes is wonderful. He is kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable. His exams are thorough and spot on. My family has been going there as well and we trust him. I am so thankful for him who provides exceptional care and for his staff Becky that is phenomenal. I have never seen someone run an office the way she does and handle patients with so much care. Thank you for people like this especially their friendly approach. I highly recommend Dr. Hayes
