Very professionalism w/Dr. Hays and entire staff.
Woolfson was outstanding. I had cataract surgery at another practice and it did not go well. Dr. Hays identified the issue, explained what had occurred and explained everything to me. The outcome of my surgery with Dr. Hays went off without a hitch and the procedure itself was almost pleasurable!!
Thankful for the professional and kind nurses/staff and the steady hands of Dr Hays and his calming voice. Great experience.
Dr. Hayes and the Woolfson staff are outstanding medical professionals, and they provide superior service! My two medical procedures were seamless, and my outcome was perfect and as I expected. My vision has greatly improved. I highly recommend the Woolfson Eye Institute!
Doctor Hayes is so knowledgeable, so kind and a joy to know. I had the best visit with a doctor I have ever had. It’s obvious he loves his craft and his patients. Looking forward to my surgery instead of dreading it. Outstanding doctor
