Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Arrogant and rude bedside manner. Explicitly stated that his time was more important than anyone else's. Unsure why he went into medicine because he seems to be the least caring doctor I have ever encountered. Textbook narcissist. I would give him 0 stars if I could.

I am 21 years old. I was terrified because people my age do not typically have to have this type of surgery, as well as I had never had surgery before. I thought my surgery would be months after my meeting with him, but it was four days later. He calmed my nerves, and then took 100% of my pain away. I am now free to live the life I want because of Dr. McDaniels, and for that I am forever grateful.

Well I thought he was arrogant uncaring jerk and he didn't care about my prop results stating I had a possible heart attack in the past he just went right on with it and said I'm a surgeon talk to ur doctor about your concerns ! And no pain medication he said they don't give it then I wound up having to drive 75 miles a week later to pick up mess prescription because they wouldn't call it in! Rude!
