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.

100% The Best
There are so many positive things that i could say about Dr Arnold and that still would not express the Excellence of this provider!!

Excellent Gastroenterologist
I researched all Gastroenterologists in my area on multiple websites, and I selected Dr. Arnold because of all of the positive reviews provided by his patients. My review of Dr. Arnold is a summary of ALL of the other positive, patient reviews because he is that outstanding. I have had several Colonoscopies, but everything about my Colonoscopy with Dr. Arnold exceeded all of my expectations. The entire process was efficient from beginning to end, and took less time than my other colonoscopies; to include my recovery time. Each and every staff member had a designated task that they completed in a seamless and pleasant manner. My recovery from the Anesthesia was minimal with no pain. Dr. Arnold met with myself and my husband as soon as the procedure was completed to discuss the procedure and answer our questions. His knowledge and experience is embedded as part of his bedside manner. All that I can add to my review is that Dr. Arnold is beyond excellent, and I trust him completely.

Very Caring Doctor
Despite a very busy surgery schedule, Dr. Arnold sat down with me in the recovery room after my procedure to tell me how everything went and answer any questions. He is very caring, friendly, and easy to talk to. All of the care givers in the surgical center that I came in contact with were kind and caring. I would recommend Dr. Arnold and his staff without reservations.

Office Visit - Endoscope
I was experiencing abdominal pain and previously been diagnosed with GERD/Barrett esophagus. Dr. Arnold was able to get me into office, ascertain where pain was located and quickly ordered an Endoscope. He was extremely knowledgeable with my condition and able to get insurance to cover medication I have been taking for condition. I highly recommend Dr. Arnold for medical needs when it comes to GERD and acid reflux issues.

I would Highly recommended Dr Hayes Arnold
Every visit I have With Dr. Arnold is amazing. He is very in tune with me and my concerns with my medical issues and informative as well. When going through procedures he always explain what he is about to do and before you know it boom the procedure is done and you are in recovery and he makes sure to come and give you feedback on what he saw or if anything was seen that need to be furthered looked at he will let you know what the next step is. I do not want any other Dr but Dr. Hayes I have had him for over 10 years as my Gastroenterologist and would recommend him at anytime. He is also a man of God and a blessing for me.

Dr. Arnold's professionalism.
Dr. Arnold was in no hurry to hear my son's issues. He explained what would take place. My son has schizoaffective disorder. Dr. Arnold’s bed side manners: excellent. It's difficult to encounter a doctor with great manners. Dr. Arnold is our family gastroenterologist. I recommend him as a "go to" gastroenterologist and look no further.
