About Mason

Mason Haye first became interested in medicine when he was a patient himself. “When I was a multi-sport athlete in high school, I sustained my fair share of injuries,” he explains, “but it was when I had to get surgery and progress through the recovery process that the field of medicine and my desire to help others took center stage.” He originally began his career as an athletic trainer and later made the decision to pursue a master’s in physician assistant studies.

As a physician assistant, Mason examines and counsels patients, diagnosing illnesses and injuries, requesting diagnostic tests, interpreting results, creating treatment plans, prescribing medications, performing medical procedures and assisting in surgical procedures. He chose to practice at Beacon to be part of a cohesive group of professionals that work together as a team. “That was my first impression of Beacon,” he says. “Every person I met was welcoming and friendly, as well as professional.”

When it comes to his philosophy on patient care, Mason holds true to his personal values of compassion, empathy and respect for every patient and believes that education and trust are vital to the success of any treatment plan. “I want to ensure that all my patients’ questions are answered and that they understand the reasoning behind each treatment option so they can be involved in the process and make informed decisions.”
