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.

Superb Pulmonologist
I am a Physician myself and have worked with and been under the care of many specialists. I was very impressed with Dr. Hayden’s presentation and knowledge of my pulmonary condition. She knew my extensive medical history, reviewed my medication history and made excellent recommendations regarding a need for a sleep study and what medications I should take in case of recurring bronchitis. Dr. Hayden is a superb diagnostician and clinician. I was most impressed with how organized and methodical she is. She spent enough time actually listening to me and looking at me while I was talking. A lot of clinicians look at their computers while talking with their patients. Dr. Hayden did not do so and I very much appreciate that! I feel very fortunate to be under her care and based on my experience and observations of other specialists I consider her to be an outstanding clinician. She is clearly deserving of many accolades.

Responsive, competent care
I highly recommend Dr. Hayden and her staff for excellent communication and care. Dr. Hayden is a compassionate listener and a very competent physician. She consults easily with other care givers as a part of my medical team. Her support staff get high marks on both counts too.

Although our meeting was a tele-visit due to COVID restrictions, Dr. Haydn impressed me with her thorough preparation in advance of our meeting and how she shared CT scans with me online when I was confused. Her professionalism and kindness helped me deal with a problematic prognosis. I've never been so impressed!
