Been going to Dr. Hayes for several years now and he is a awesome doctor. He's always willing to listen and give you the proper treatment your or advice that best suites your situation. I have no plans on going to another doctor anytime soon however it can be hard to get a timely appointment due to his popularity

In all my years going to Dr.Hayes (15yrs +) I have never waited more than 15min.If your waiting time was longer there had to be darn good reason you didn't get in quicker.....

After reading good things online,tried this doctor and was not impressed with the 30 plus minute wait in the back.He also seems overly concerned about insurance cost over ordering tests for patients.

I hope you don’t mind waiting 45 minutes in the exam room to see your doctor if you decide to see this one.

Was very impressed with our initial visit with him. After our doctor retired, I did a lot of research. Dr. Hayes is 20-25 minutes across town but it is so worth the trip. He’s friendly, very knowledgeable and thorough. He now treats myself, my husband and my 94 yr old mom. One visit and I feel like I could talk to him about anything. He’s also very knowledgeable about prescriptions.

Dr Hayes is the best physician I have seen in years! He takes his time and really listens to what you have to say about your own body, instead of trying to pigeon hole you. He is patient and really tries to understand and communicate. I am very grateful to have found such a qualified doctor in a sea of unqualified and non-caring doctors.

We have been patients of Dr. Hayes since he first started practicing. We are now told that he is no longer with Williamson Medical and we will have to find a new doctor. We have loved having Dr. Hayes as our doctor and will truly miss his caring professionalism and knowledge. We have considered him a friend as well as our doctor. We hope to be patients of his again one day.
