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 .

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.
