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.

Terrible staff- not friendly at all - doesn’t follow through with insurance approvals/request - told me they were waiting for approval but hadn’t sent in request to insurance

I have found Dr. Daniels to be very informative, he took time to explain in the procedure in detail. He was very thorough in examining and consulting my other doctors before proceeding with the surgery.

Had to finish my review cause I wasn’t given enough space. So I fiddled around with Dr. Daniels who failed to diagnose my serious life threateningly injury for a year. I then had to travel the country to get help from other doctors. He also told me that I should not get my Labral tear repaired . Dr wolff did an excellent job on that and does hundreds of them per yr by the way. It was a very bad tear and that wasn’t even the real bad injury I had. It takes forever to get in and then he just wants to give you anti inflammatory instead of fixing the problem. Doing that surgery on me when I had all those injuries was terrible. I will also be sending a letter to him and looking filing a lawsuit. There are more details that I can’t include on here. Bottom line STAY AWAY! By the way this is SHane with dreads from sc. remember me?

I like Dr. Daniel. He's friendly and very tech savvy. He's busy but will spend all the time you need to get your questions answered. I'd recommend him, readily!

I saw Dr. Daniels a few times after I broke my collarbone. He was very nice & informative, and I really appreciated his willingness to spend a few extra minutes with me answering my questions (sounds silly, but a lot of doctors don't have the time). Overall, I highly recommend the doctor himself, however, be aware that you'll need to bring images (x-ray/MRI) on a compact disc (CD). Admittedly, it's only small annoyance but it does seem like an archaic practice that could easily be improved.

WATSONVILLE – Dec 20, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Daniels?
First, the next appointment was a month and a half away - unless I brought in the CD of my MRI. So I drove all the way to the other end of the county to pick up the CD and deliver to them - that was 3 hours of my time. I called them a couple of times to see what was up and, after a couple more WEEKS, they gave me an appointment... A month and a half away. So I asked them to send my CD back to me. After calling repeatedly for a couple months, it turns out they lost my CD.

Completely unprofessional and not up to date technology. Where i had my mri's done they now store the images in a cloud that the doctor can access. This was too much for Daniels office to handle (typing in a web designation) they insisted that the only way was for me to have it put on a cd (A. Not my job, B. A step backward for the environment) Also this Doctor went to only a state college and can only be credited as "hanging out" Id rather see a real doctor from a university. Zero stars

i just had a L-4 L-5 spinal fusion surgery performed by dr. Daniels. The care and treatment I received from him was by far the best experience I have ever had with a doctor. He is both knowledgeable and has a great compassion and care. He successfully repaired my pain. I would definitely recommend him to anybody
