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.

Best Doctor and Surgeon
Telehealth
Dr Monica Prasad Hayes is a highly skilled surgeon. She was highly recommended by another doctor for an enlarged ovary. She answered all my questions and scheduled my surgery quickly. The surgery went well no pain at all, I managed with ibuprofen. I spent the night in recovery walking around immediately and using the bathroom. I went home the following day. I was in the best hands as I anxiously waited for my post op biopsy report. She had good preliminary news at my post op visit and personally called me with the final biopsy report that was better than I expected. No treatment needed! She is simply the best! Highly recommend!

Exceptional Surgeon – Jun 12, 2024
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hayes?
Yesterday I had my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed by Dr Hayes. My gynecologist for whom I have much respect recommended that I see Dr Prasad. From the moment I met her, I felt comfortable! She was warm and empathetic - spent time explaining the surgery to be done - and had appropriate humor. She also told me to expect some pain following the surgery for a few days. Well, here I am to tell you that I have had no pain and haven't taken any pain pills. Either I am very naive or Dr Prasad is very good. I believe the latter is true!

Dr Hayes is both knowledgeable as well as extremely personable. I had a procedure done today and she made me feel so comfortable. The gynecologist I’ve been using for over 10yrs is retiring and I will be going to Dr Hayes going forward. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her.

Dr Prousad Hayes was lovely. She was helpful, informative, positive and pleasant. She personally called me with my biopsy results and answered all my questions before my follow up appointment to ease my mind.

Dr Prasad Hayes performed my D&C, polyp removal (in my uterus) and hysteroscopy. I liked her from the moment I met her. She’s kind, attentive, thorough, and a great surgeon. She has one of the nicest bedside manners of any doctor I have ever been to. She answered all of my many questions both before and after the surgery. My gyno referred me to her since she’s highly skilled and I absolutely recommend her.

I had surgery for what Dr Prasad-Hayes and the radiologist thought was a benign tumor in my ovary. Dr P-H explained that I would need a more extensive surgery if the biopsy (done during surgery) was malignant. It was, so I had a total hysterectomy, plus removal of tumors from my pelvic cavity. She's a great surgeon, has a well-run office, and has an excellent bedside manner re: explaining possible scenarios pre-surgery, and diagnosis and treatment options post-surgery. I highly recommend her.
