My referring doctor had numerous kind words to say about Dr. Danaher and I see why. During my visit, he was so caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. He was extremely respectful of my medical history which gave me such a peace of mind. I've been to other orthopedic facilities outside of Wellstar and had lost hope. When I left his office, I had hope again. He took a patient-centered approach and listened fully to me. He provided a number of options that I could try. He looked out for me the way you would take care of your own sibling. ( I have good relationships with my three brothers. lol! ) it's a blessing to have found an orthopedic doctor who takes that extra step for his patients.

I appreciate the way I was treated by the front desk and the other staff. The Doctor was excellent, he was thorough and spent a lot of time explaining how he thought I needed to be treated. He gave me several options, I was in agreement to try the shots first over surgery. I felt very comfortable with my doctor, and the person with him today. I appreciate the way I was treated today. Thank you very much.

There was no med recd last ti.e when he was prescribing an anti inflammatory. Never did. At least the pharmacy never recd one. I know people don't always have the answers. I know I've gone to now 3 orthopedics. I hope this one pans out. You'll understand if I dont hold my breath. Im not sure if I'll get surgery or not or if I can get the issue at hand taken care of. I can only hope and pray. This journey I'm sure is going to take a lot longer than anyone is admitting .

Our experience with Dr. Danaher and staff has been both educational and pleasant as we all work to get my daughter back to A1 condition for gymnastics. He is thorough in his exams of her knee post ACL surgery and he is clear in her guidelines. Dr. Danaher does great at keeping her well paced for success without letting her reenter the sport too soon, risking re-injury. I appreciate his thoughtful consideration for my daughter, her sport, and healing process. He helped turn what could have been a tragedy into triumph!
