My only complaint was that I waited 1 1/2 hours to get into exam room. Then waited another 30 minutes before I even saw doctor. Felt like maybe they overbooked patients the day I was there.????

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!

I love the fact that Dr. Danaher really cares about his patients and your whole staff involved in the people that are in charge of the front desk receptionists are very mannerable and appropriate. But overall, you guys are very great. I wish there were more doctors out there like Dr. Danaher. I really like him and admire him and love the fact that he does care about his patients and wants nothing but the best for them.

Med student Justin was just amazing. Held my hand while I was getting the injection in my shoulder, told me what they were doing while I shut my eyes and encouraged me to squeeze his hand if I needed to. I did indeed need to. A+, Justin! Thanks for your caring attitude for a scared old lady.

We've seen a few orthopedic providers for my daughter's knee issue, and Dr. Danaher is by far the absolute best. He talks to her directly, he talks to her about how she's feeling, he makes us feel as parents like reassured and confident in his plan of treatment, and we are just so thankful that we found him. So, very happy with Dr. Danaher. Would totally recommend him to all of our friends and family. So, thank you so much, Dr. Danaher.

I feel like my experience with Dr. Danaher was a very good experience, different than I thought it would be when I first met him in any other appointments. I felt like he took his time and it felt like I was the only person that was important to him at the time. And he made sure I understood everything. And for me, having a first-time surgery like that was very important. So I think that not only was he a good doctor, but he was a good teacher in the process.

My only complaint was that I waited 1 1/2 hours to get into exam room. Then waited another 30 minutes before I even saw doctor. Felt like maybe they overbooked patients the day I was there.????
