Dr. Hayes is a great neurologist as he treats me for cervical dystonia. He does both shots always has the machine to see exactly where it triggers to inject perfectly and adds more when it is needed. I am extremely happy with him and his assistant Dr. [redacted] she has been wonderful w my schedule when changes were needed. Highly recommend this facility and the Neurology Department in Boston MA TYVM
