She's absolutely outstanding! She actually listens to me, I feel I can connect with her and she's gentle. She's helped me confirm that due to my mother's passing, it has caused me distress and PTSD. She's helped me get answers, and she is willing to do whatever she can to help me.
Incredible compassionate and caring, pleasure to speak to.
Very kind, listens and doesn’t judge.

Dr. Hayes listened to all my symptoms and made recommendations on the problems as a whole to help me improve my mood.
Love her! Knows her stuff, very professional, to the point. Prescription come in fast too!
Kayla was amazing. She listened and was interested in any issues that I may be having and helped make changes to improve.
I think she’s doing a great job of being very kind and encouraging. I’ve been scared to take meds before, but so far, I seem to be doing pretty well with her aid. The medication is doing what it’s supposed to, and she’s very patient with any questions or worries I have about it.
She does very well. She always listens to me and when she makes recommendations bast off of what I said, she explains in detail everything about the new medicine.
She is just a perfect fit for me!
Very nice and helpful, listened to what I was saying
Kayla is very thorough and answers all questions! Love her!
She is really helping by us talking and my medicines. She does a good job of getting my refills called in when im out of it!
