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.
Cannot say enough good things about Dr. Hays. Very appreciative he is my doctor because he is so interested to know about all my conditions and will discuss anything I have questions about. He notices and inquires about everything. Very attentive and informative. I've been amazed whenever I go in how thorough Dr. Hays is.

The fact that he takes the time to know you is great! Many physicians don't ask questions or listen when you have a question. He looks as if he enjoys what he does and sitting in front of him you are what is important at that time. I really appreciate his bedside manner.

Once again I felt like Dr. Hayes gave me his full focused attention in a thorough exam as he continues to diagnose my problem. He even communicates with another one of my doctors to share info and confer about my needs. I think Dr. Hays is one if the most competent doctors I’ve ever had. His staff is friendly while providing comforting care.

My father received the most thorough physical exam that I have seen in over a decade of his care. Dr. Hayes spent quality time conversing with my Dad. By quality time, I mean that he looked at him and did not type his progress note while speaking with him.
