Dr. Gary McDaniel, MD

I've had two epidural steroid injections to deal with severe L4-5 pain radiating down both legs. Both were expertly performed by Dr. McDaniel and each injection incrementally reduced my pain to the point that now it is now at a much lower level than it had been. My post injection visits were with Marissa Barnett of Dr. McDaniel's office with whom I was very favorably impressed. Ms Barnett helped me obtain a much more nuanced understanding of the cause of my pain and of the rationale underlying the recommended treatment. She was extraordinarily generous with her time and answered every question I had about the treatment and my prognosis following the injections. I could not have been more satisfied.

I have been a pain management patient for 19 years. It is a tremendously difficult life quite frankly. Having to make time for appointments each month creates additional pressure, and seeking a qualified specialist that is both professional and approachable is critical. Pain management is much more than just prescribing the popular medications of the day. The doctor has to create a treatment plan that works with your special needs, adapt to your career and ability to continue work performance in holistic way that takes in account the serious physical and emotional toll pain takes on you and your family and career. I wholeheartedly can recommend Dr. Gary McDaniel as a specialist that I would choose for anyone, myself and children included. He is extremely knowledgeable, up to date on the latest procedures and medications and takes the time to listen. If changes are needed he makes them and is not locked in to the first plan. He is also very accommodating with his scheduling.

This doctor is so good I am willing to make the two hour trip !
