I made it to Carmichael PMA after escaping a four-year sentence at Roseville PMA. I have no idea…read morehow two places under the same umbrella can be so different. At Roseville I was a drain on resources. At Carmichael I became a human being, worthy of healthcare. Every single person I interacted with at Carmichael PMA was kind, attentive, and actively took an interest in improving my health. Everyone. The receptionist, the nurse practitioner, the doctor, the doctor's assistant, even people who weren't directly involved in my care acted like they were glad I was there. I was astonished. I have very low lung function. When Roseville diagnosed me, they wrote me off. When I walked in the door for an appointment the receptionist would look at me and sigh. When I had health issues I had to get a consensus on Facebook to diagnose me, then try to get someone at Roseville to do something about it, with varying degrees of success. The excellent care at Carmichael PMA was not an aberration. I got sick and was immediately sent to Riverside PMA, where a Carmichael PMA doctor saw me. I was treated very well. I can say nothing but good about these people.

After a few months of trying to figure out the problem, he ordered a bronchoscopy and determined my son had a staph infection in his lung. He was persistent, thorough and has a great bedside manner - he's friendly, he listens, and is an all around good guy. The only reason I gave him 4 stars out of 5 was that waiting room time was always long, sometimes 30-40 minutes. However, this may be attributed to his thoroughness and dedication to the patient. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

It was more than a two hour drive for me each time. I have to say that being treated by him was the best experience of my life, not only was I healed.... that's right healed, there are no traces of COPD. I believe that God worked through him and healed me. He is a straight to the point truth teller, but I will never forget his words of wisdom when It came to him sharing how to overcome my nicotine addiction. He told me that If I chose to be the best version of myself and stay in the present moment, anything is possible. I've used his wise word and applied them to my daily life, and wow what a difference. Thank you Dr. Batin.

I followed him to UCSF, and was able to become a patient of the program and received my transplant in 2014. The cumulative team itself is amazing, but I have to thanks Dr. Hays for advocating my case forward there. He believed in me, and therefore gave everyone else confidence to proceed in evaluating, listing and transplanting me. If you want an intelligent, diligent and caring doctor, he is your guy. He is younger, so a bit more approachable and flexible and welcome to new and innovative treatments, or to at least consider them without just throwing them out. He attends seminars and conferences regularly to stay up to date, as well as puts on educational conferences of his own in the area. He is patient with my questions and requests for more explanation, but most important, he listens to me. He has been my favorite and most faithful doctor in my lifetime of receiving care for my complicated pulmonary disease history. I truly recommend Dr. Steve Hays for anyone seeking out a pulmonary/transplant specialist, the bonus being you have the entire Heart & Lung Transplant & Pulmonary teams at UCSF in addition to his medical expertise and manner.

I told him I've never had a problem with heartburn. His response? "Yes, you have." What??? No! I haven't. This office is a joke. It's as if the office is a cover for something else because they sure don't practice medicine.
