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.

Please do not see this doctor. He did not follow recommendations made my his staff member, who knew me very well and had been extremely helpful months prior. He made his own treatment plan on the spot which was extremely dangerous. He severely injured my neck, taking zero accountability. He yelled at me to stop crying and threatened me that I would not be welcomed back if I did not. He did this during a procedure he was not adequately performing and caused me severe harm in the process. He then interrupted his visit with his next patient, as he wanted to make sure "we were still friends," as I was leaving his office. I had never met him prior to this encounter and would never trust him again. My neck was never the same, I had a large lump on the left side and had to have shoulder surgery on the left side shortly after. I recently traveled to Seattle for a 5 level fusion, anterior and posterior. All levels in which he gave me facet injections.

Not only poor, I definitely would NOT recommend him. His staff is adequate. His office is fine. I think he is knowledgeable, but he lacks compassion and his treatment plans are dangerous. He puts little effort into his patient's treatment, relying on medications that are known to cause long-term, sometimes irreversible and harmful side effects. He adds "pep talks" that are repetitive and largely ineffective.

I was scheduled on an emergency basis and they fit me into the schedule. Dr. Danaher was very compassionate and took the time to explain in detail exactly what he was going to do. He was so caring, more so than any other doctors I have met in years. I would highly recommend him.
