She was great with my 6 year old. Did her complete tonsillectomy and adenoid removal. It was successful and 1 month post-op with no issues. She is personable. Good bedside manner.

The office itself was slow, very busy. I waited an hour to see her. Once I got to her MA things changed and I was taken care of quickly and efficiently. Danielle herself is very nice, easy to talk to and explained everything and offered options. I will go back for my follow-up she was great!

I saw Dr. Gainor for an emergency foreign body in the ear and I had the best experience I could have imagined-even better. Dr. Gainor was extremely caring and considerate. She faced me when she was talking to me and made sure to explain every step of the process. She even thanked me for holding still. She actually checked both ears and found that my other ear was badly infected and was able to help me immensely. I had an amazing experience and hope that I see her every time.

Dr. Gainor spent several minutes explaining my treatment options and answered all of my questions clearly and compassionately. Would recommend Dr. Gainor to my own family or friends for similar evaluation and treatment.
