  • I had Danielle. I've always appreciated her time and expertise and this was another fine appointment. This was a sort of a wellness checkup kind of thing and she's great and answered all my questions and we had some things to discuss which all went well. So it was a fine experience.

  • Dr Danielle is simply the best PCP I've ever had. She listens... REALLY listens, answers all my questions seriously and thoroughly, and explains things to me down to the smallest detail. She never makes me feel like her next appointment is more important than me. She allows me all the time I need to discuss what needs to be discussed. I don't say this about any doctor I've ever had, but I think if we weren't doctor and patient and met in a different way, we could be very good friends. I feel like we both respect each other and find each other interesting as people. Again, best Doctor I've ever had.
