Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Exemplary Neurological Care
I see many specialists and Greater Milford Neurology is the best when it comes to the logistics of managing my care. The staff is very pleasant, courteous and efficient.I have never had to wait more than a few minutes to be taken in for my appointment.Dr. Dayaw has been my neurologist for many years. She is extremely knowledgeable about my disease, thorough in her assessment and gives detailed explanations of her findings, my test results, her recommendations and treatment plan. If you are looking for excellent neurological care I highly recommend Greater Milford Neurology and Dr Dayaw.

I had to make an appointment for my Mom and we got Dr. Dayaw. She was very personable, very professional, a great listener and very observant. She ordered tests to see what was going on. We just had our second visit and she explained everything so we could understand. She made us feel very comfortable and was not in any rush. Down to earth and tells it like it is. I appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone I know.

As a physician, Dr. Dayaw is the perfect combination of compassionate and professional. She is up to date on the most current information and treatments for Multiple Sclerosis which she shares with her patients in a way that any layman can understand. She treats me like a partner when it comes to making decisions about my course of treatment and insures that I am aware of all options. I appreciate the time she takes with me and so I am always willing to wait to see her. Every person deserves a doctor like Maria Dayaw.

Patient
I have been a patient of Dr Dayaw for years now. She is highly Educated and brilliant in her field of Neurology Etc. She takes the time to listen and explain and does it with compassion. Yes sometimes you may wait a few xtra minutes but that’s because the patient before you may be sicker than you and she offers you that same option if needed. She is always smiling no matter what kind of day she may be having. I am always referring her out to people and will continue to do so. Wish my other Drs. We’re as caring as she. She deserves 5 stars and her staff is always pleasant too.

Dr Dayaw is a disgrace to healthcare
She "experimented" in treating debilitating headaches with no results over a month despite multiple appointments and MRI, was slow to respond/failed to respond to feedback about patient's miserable on-going condition, and then refused to treat further when expected to discuss alternate options which might help provide some relief. Her communication was inadequate in timeliness and content.

Dr Dayaw is the best neurologist / doctor I've seen for my migraines. I've seen many neurologist/ doctors for them. I've even gone to a headache clinic that was terrible. She always listens to what is going on and actually tries to solve the problem to make me feel better. Many doctors have a one size fits all approach. That's an awful way to approach medicine. Every person reacts differently to illnesses or diseases same as every person reacts to medicine. Dr. Dayaw has helped me actually be able to get some enjoyment out of life. For awhile I was having migraines everyday. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be able to leave the house.
