She is so wonderful. My daughter loves her because Dr. Hayward spends time with her patients and listens to them. Dr. Hayward treats my daughter as an individual, not just a number. I only wish Dr. Hayward wasn't a child's doctor so we could continue seeing her forever.

I've been taking my 2 boys (ages 9 months & 5 years) to Dr. Hayward for 9 months now. She is so warm and personable. I never feel rushed; she gives me all the time I need to ask questions. She interacts with both kids and truly loves children. I highly recommend her!!

I would recommend Dr. Hayward to everyone. I have 2 boys and they have been going to her since they were born and my oldest is 7. We love her, she is so patient and caring it's almost like they are family to her! I know when we go in to see her that she is going to take her time and answer any questions that I may have. She is 100% professional and knowledgable about what she does, so if you are looking for a great Dr. for your child(ren)go see Dr. Tamara Hayward.

Dr. Hayward is fantastic. She is very kind and caring and never makes me feel rushed during a visit. She is excellent with young children (and nervous first time moms!).
