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.

Dr. Hayes has been my kids doctor now for years. He has amazing bedside manner and jokes around with the kids. He really listens to your concerns and genuinely takes them into consideration.

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PROVIDER!!!! He saw my newborn in the hospital shortly after her birth and called CPS on my husband and I because of a false positive drug screen the hospital performed on me without my consent while I was in labor. Had this provider done his due diligence and looked into my medical history or at my current medication list he would have seen that I was currently prescribed all of the medications that the drug screen came back positive for. He has also listed a completely false diagnosis on my newborns discharge papers. He has taken away the joy of our new daughter by involving us unnecessarily with CPS. He had a horrible bedside manner upon my first meeting with him and accused me of taking drugs my entire pregnancy without calling my OB or interviewing me first. I could not be more upset with the care my new daughter and I received from him.

Hayes- HORRIBLE PHYSICIAN! Had Heard that he is terrible with children, horrible bedside manner and questions your parenting skills. Found out firsthand. I would never ever EVER consider sending my child back to this physician.

My children have been seeing Dr Hayes for over 7 years and we love him (and his nurses)! Dr Hayes tells stories about his family, and I like that...he is trying to put your (and your children's minds) at ease that whatever family dynamic you are dealing with, it's normal. He puts the kids' well being first. We would recommend him to anyone (unless you want a doc that will baby you and just tell you what you want to hear--you'll have to look elsewhere for that kind of coddling).

Dr. Hayes has been my children's doctor for the last 5 years. He is a great doctor and always has a story to tell, and I love that he does that. My boys love him and actually like going to the doctor. Most of all, I really love that he is a christian man and isn't afraid to discuss church, etc.
