I met Shelly Renee Hayes at my 6 month follow up after cataract surgery. Unfortunately, I will need to wear glasses for long distance vision and driving. She did a sonogram to make sure the problem wasn’t serious so I am happy with my visit and the result.

This was the first time I’ve see Dr Hayes. She was super thorough, patient, explained the medical details very well without talking down, and her demeanor was so comforting! I was very nervous about potential medical issues and she put my mind at ease. If this kind of visit sounds good to you, go see Dr. Hayes at Sieht??

Dr. Hayes took me as a patient about 4 years ago to clear up a strange diagnosis. Each visit she takes the time to know me, ask about what I have been doing since last visit and does a thorough exam. Between Dr. Hayes and the staff, all steps are explained to me about what is and will happen along with why. That is important to me so I understand both the process as well as final diagnosis. I am forever thankful for finding Dr. Hayes and her staff when I did as I know my vision needs will be taken care of now and far into the future.

You explained everything in layman's terms to me. I was asking about surgery and you gave me nonsurgical options. You're a delightful doctor.
