Accepting new patients

Calm, careful care
for every age.

An independent family medicine practice in Bakersfield where appointments are thirty minutes, your doctor remembers your name, and "I'll get you in today" still means something.

Our promise

Primary care that actually feels like care.

We started Hayes Family Medicine because the way medicine was being practiced around us had stopped feeling like medicine. Fifteen-minute slots. Rushed exams. Patients who were strangers to their doctor.

Seventeen years later, we're still the same independent practice. Three physicians. About 8,500 patients we know by name. Visits are thirty minutes. Long enough to actually talk. And when you need us same-day, you can usually get us same-day.

What we treat

From sniffles to chronic care, under one roof.

Most things that send you searching online at 9pm. We can probably help with. And the things we can't, we'll point you to someone who can.

Annual physicals

The kind of yearly visit that actually catches things. Bloodwork, screenings, a real conversation about how you're feeling.

All ages · From $180

Chronic care

Diabetes, blood pressure, thyroid, cholesterol. We manage the long stuff so you can focus on the rest of your life.

Adults · $95 per visit

Pediatric wellness

Well-child visits, immunizations, school physicals, and questions you don't want to wait three weeks to ask.

Newborn – 18 · From $120 · Bilingual

Women's health

Annual exams, contraception, perimenopause and menopause, breast and cervical screenings. Handled with care, not haste.

Adults

Men's health

Cardiovascular screening, prostate, testosterone, the conversations that don't happen often enough. Show up. We'll listen.

Adults

Mental health screening

Depression, anxiety, sleep, ADHD evaluations. We screen, we treat what fits primary care, and we refer well when it doesn't.

All ages

Patient story "
Dr. Hayes called me at home the night my labs came back. At home. I'd been her patient for two months. That was the moment I knew we were never switching practices.

Common questions

Things patients ask us before they book.

Yes, all three physicians are accepting new patients as of this month. New-patient visits run 45 minutes so we can take a proper history. You can book online or call (661) 555-0199.
We're in-network with most major plans in Kern County: Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealth, Medicare, Medi-Cal, and Tricare. We also see Kaiser patients out-of-network and offer transparent self-pay rates. Call us if you're unsure.
Same-day sick visits are usually available. Slots open every morning at 7am. Annual physicals book out about two weeks. Telehealth visits often have next-day availability.
Yes. For follow-ups, prescription refills, mental health check-ins, and minor concerns. We'll tell you honestly if your issue needs an in-person visit instead.
Yes. Dr. Elena Martinez (pediatrics) is fully bilingual in Spanish and English. Several of our front-office staff are also bilingual.
No. We're an independent practice. We have admitting privileges and referral relationships with the major Bakersfield hospitals, but our practice itself is owned by Dr. Hayes, not a corporation.

Care that stays with you.

Whether it's a sore throat at 8am or a chronic condition you've been managing alone for years. We'd be glad to be your practice.
