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
Dr. Hays Arnold has been my GI doctor for 5 years. He is very caring and compassionate. He will take the time to understand your issues. I highly regard him. You do sometimes have to keep after his staff if they are assigned to do follow-up as it is a busy place.
Top-notch provider in the GI space - very knowledgeable, as well as personable and compassionate, which I appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Hays to anyone looking for quality GI care.
Dr Arnold showed great compassion and kindness toward me. He and his staff have been accessible and responsive.
My experience at this clinic was very positive. It was very well run, organized and clean. Dr Hays is very personable and made me feel at ease. I would recommend him
Dr. Arnold performed my colonoscopy in March of 2024, he is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, caring, and has a very pleasant personality. I shall refer my family, colleagues and friends to go to Dr. Arnold when they need to do colonoscopy or endoscopy.
