Dr. McDaniel is quick to prescribe medicine. But when I asked how I could learn to overcome my depression without medicine he offered no suggestion. Just told me to keep taking medication and see him again in 6 months. He seemed in a hurry to get me out of his office.

Mike McDaniel was the first psychiatric caregiver I ever went to. That was more than 30 years ago! Our relationship has been interrupted for much of that time, but Mike is once again my psychiatrist and I see him regularly. Mike is one of the most influential people in my life, and his influence has been positive in every way.

Dr. McDaniel is as knowledgeable as can be on currrent/best medications for treating anxiety and depression associated with it. I have seen the tops doctors at famous psychiactric hospitals/departments--University of Pennsylvania, UCSD, and Dr. Mc Daniel is as good as any of them...I am so grateful. The wrong doctor could have made things worse. I am extremely grateful, I didn't think I'd make it this time and I have never been happier!!
