OB Care

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr. Hawes is the best gynecologist I've had. He sits and chats with you, spends all the time you need, and makes you feel comfortable and cared for. You can tell he cares for his patients. I will miss him dearly!

Gynecological Problem Visit

Dr. Hawes is an amazing doctor. He is kind, caring, and compassionate. Dr. Hawes goes above and beyond when providing care. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. It is a shame that he is retiring. Our community has lost one of the best doctors around.

OB Care

I think he is overall a great doctor. He told me all the steps to look forward to through this journey of conception planning.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr. Hawes has always taken the time to make sure that he answers all my questions and never hurries. I truly appreciate that. I went through a lot of miscarriages and had a rough time getting pregnant. He was so supportive and always there helping my husband and I through those difficult times. He is truly the best doctor I’ve ever seen. Truly sad to hear that he’s retiring. He will be greatly missed.

Office Visit / Follow-up

The clinic and staff are professional, friendly, and Dr. Hawes is extremely calming in his demeanor, attentive to health concerns of mine and quick to offer suggestions. I feel a great loss in knowing it was my last visit. I hope to hear he has decided to delay retirement for at least five more years! The only downside to my visit was the wait but working in healthcare I know that is often unavoidable.

This visit I Dr Hawes informed me of his upcoming retirement. He IS by far my favorite Dr. EVER...He is personanable and easy to talk with...There will never be another like him...I pray for a wonderful retirement for him..he will be missed tremendously by me!

Annual Well Woman Exam

All of the staff that I’ve dealt with is professional and courteous. I like my physician but the wait time for my last several appts (over the past several years ) have been unacceptable. I seem to have to wait at least an hour even when I schedule a 9 am morning appt. Breaking up the wait time but moving the patient to an exam room and continuing to have to wait 30 min is not the solution. I do not feel that this is a physician issue but an office administration/management issue. I have been advised that my physician is retiring and I am undecided whether to continue with the practice. I hope this feedback is constructive.

Dr Hawes and the entire staff are extremely friendly and efficient. They are also very prompt in responding to my queries on the patient portal.

Mammogram

I've had a long term patient/Dr relationship with Dr Hawes. I am absolutely gutted that he's retiring. You know once you establish a relationship with a Dr then they leave it's really devastating...there is a sacred trust...and now you must start over. I'm happy for him though he will be sorely missed. He has always made me feel safe, cared for...he makes time for your concerns, and questions.
