Dr. Daniels goes the extra mile! He fully explains everything! He is comforting when needed and always spends the time needed to fully explain the situation!

Dr.Daniels is the nicest ,kindest man you will ever know. He cares about his Stoney’s and never hurries you if you have questions.If you don’t understand he won’t leave until you do.He gave me his personal cell # when I was having problems and told me to call him.When a Dr stands by a patients bedside in ICU saying good bye with tesrsvrunning down his face you know he cares and I saw him do this at my sister in laws bedside.He is a wonderful man.

My mother is treated by Dr. Daniels. She is quite elderly so I always sit in on her visits. I wasn't doubting his ability. He does not like questions, was very rude and curt. He might be a great dr. but needs a big improvement on his bedside manner.

My father has been going to Dr Daniels for 10 yrs. He has monitored his kidneys very well and always has been there for him. If I ever needed help or to understand something better, Dr Daniels and his staff has always been helpful, patient and willing to take the time for me or my Father.

FROM THE MOMENT DR. DANIELS WAS CALLED IN ON MY CASE I FELT AT EASE. HE ACTED LIKE HE HAD THE WHOLE DAY TO SPEND WITH ME, HE DIDN'T HURRY, HE COMMINICATED EVERYTHING HE FELT AND WANTED TO DO AND HE IS THE MOST HONEST AND CARING DR. I HAVE EVER KNOWN. HE TREATS YOU LIKE YOUR FAMILY AND HIS CARING IS ABOVE MOST FOR SURE. ANYONE WHO HAS THIS DOCTOR IS IN THE BEST OF HANDS AND HE IS ALWAYS THERE. ONE OF GODS ANGELS ON EARTH TO HEAL , THANK YOU FOR BEING THE WONDERFUL PERSON YOU ARE.

Amazing bedside manner with great skills in explaining tests, results, plan of care and reasoning for decisions made. Involves family, good eye contact with patient. Takes time to answer questions. Never seems rushed. We were very happy with his care. KNOWS HIS STUFF!!
