About Hays L. Arnold, M.D.
Dr. Arnold, a former Lieutenant Colonel who served in the US Army for more than 11 years, joined our practice in July 2010. Dr. Arnold is skilled in all areas of gastroenterology, with special expertise in inflammatory bowel disease and GERD. Describing himself as nationalistic, or someone whose pride in his country moves him to action, Dr. Arnold was stationed at Brooke Army Medical Center, serving most recently as Chief of Clinical Services in the Gastroenterology Division. He was deployed in 2008 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Dr. Arnold is most passionate about teaching others, whether he’s instructing his patients about their health care choices or encouraging a medical student during challenging situations. Early on, Dr. Arnold gravitated toward medicine, even though he had an appointment to attend West Point and recruitments to play football. He most looked forward to being able to help and teach those around him. In his spare time, he enjoys participating in his children’s sporting activities and tackling home renovation projects. Dr. Arnold is married and has 4 children.

Reviews
The staff is very polite and efficient with the waiting area being clean. From the time I arrived until the time I was going back for the procedure was only 45 minutes or less. This is my 2nd time seeing Dr. Arnold; great guy and very friendly!
If you are looking for a top notch GI clinician in San Antonio, Dr. Arnold and his crew are the best. Patient centered care, attention to detail, and well qualified support staff all found here. It would be hard to pick just one "Rock Star" in this GI organization. Thanks for the great care!
Dr Arnold is the best . He listens and explains everything to you. I have been with him for a while and he makes me so comfortable talking to him.
I have had two colonoscopies with Doctor Hays Arnold at his Topperwein location. On both occasions I found the nurses and staff to be friendly, happy, caring and helpful. They are all professional and know what they are doing. The clinic is very organized and runs smoothly. Doctor Arnold's team is an outstanding group of professionals that makes your experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Doctor Arnold is the best Gastroenterologist in the field of medicine who is supported by the best team in the business.
Dr. Arnold has been my doctor for a number of years and I so appreciate his care and concern regarding my health needs. I highly recommend Dr. Arnold for anyone's needs when it comes to gastric concerns.
