I find Dr. Daka to be one of those rare jewels in the realm of physicians. One can have as many degrees as one chooses and aims for, but one thing an education can't give doctors is a caring heart. That is something that has to come from within. Dr. Daka has expertise in her field and as a patient, I value her input, guidance and direction with my health.

Dr. Daka refused to talk to me back when I had a question re: one of the tests she ordered... she simply kept telling her nurses to tell me *NOT* to call back until I actually had the test done - since I had questions about the test that I wanted answered before getting the test, her refusal to answer my questions meant no test for me... she is more interested in asserting her "authority" than making informed patients feel comfortable.
