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.

Liked Dr Lays very much. Knowledgeable and thoroughness of explanation on questions I had.

Dr. Lays is the reason my daughter is alive today. When my body went into preterm labor, she knew what to do and reassured us that our daughter would be okay. She has been with us through two hard pregnancies as well as tough losses. I would highly recommend her!

Dr. Lays was absolutely amazing to have as our OBGYN! During visits she listened to my concerns and made sure my worries were taken care of! She always enters the room with a big smile on her face! She was there to help deliver our son. We had an awesome birthing experience! She is very friendly, kind and caring. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an OB Doctor!

Is it possible for a doctor to be too popular? Dr. Lays is very good, but she has too many patients, and will only see you every other appointment in pregnancy. If you have complication in your birth, which she probably won't attend, she is so booked out that you will wait 12 weeks to see her. If you have a perfect pregnancy she will provide a great person to work with in the low stress situation.

I’d recommend Dr Lays to anyone needing an OB/GYN! She is awesome! She explains everything thoroughly, makes you feel comfortable and like there’s no time crunch to get you out the door! I’m so thankful to her and her team for delivering me a healthy baby when it could’ve gone otherwise with his complications!

Dr. Lays was wonderful. I can't say enough good things about her. She was very professional, explained my procedure before she began and also while she doing it. She was very caring, treated me like a friend. I would highly recommend her to any woman looking for an OB/GYN!
