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.

Finally, Looking How I Feel
I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. O'Daniel and his amazing team. After losing 143 lbs and reclaiming my health, I still didn’t feel like my appearance reflected how I felt inside. I looked 15–20 years older than I felt, which made me more reserved and self-conscious than I wanted to be.Dr. O'Daniel has changed that. He truly listened, understood my goals, and delivered results that brought me back to myself. He’s passionate, down-to-earth, and detail-oriented — everything you’d hope for in a surgeon. His staff is professional, kind, and the facility is first-class.Now, when I look in the mirror, I finally see someone who looks how they feel. I can’t thank Dr. O'Daniel and his team enough. Highly recommend for anyone considering a neck or facelift!

Where Expertise Meets Artistic Vision
Telehealth
Dr. O'Daniel exceeded all my expectations during our consultation. He took far more time with me than I anticipated, explaining everything in detail and with total clarity. His experience was evident from the start.Before our meeting, his office asked me to send photos from my youth to the present. I was so impressed to see that he had built a personalized slideshow showing exactly how gravity and life had changed my face over time. Using those images, he walked me through his plan in real time—demonstrating how he would rejuvenate my features, not “fix” or “redo” anything. That language made a big difference to me.His confidence put me completely at ease, and I loved the way he spoke like a skilled technician in one breath and a true artist in the next. He has a vision unlike any other surgeon I’ve spoken with. Finding out that he trains many of the Insta-famous surgeons I follow? That was the cherry on top.I'll report back after my procedure!

Exceptional staff and physician, Dr. O’Daniel
Exceptional experience with this office from the first person I encountered as a new patient! They were all very welcoming and made you feel comfortable! All staff was very knowledgeable and professional! The entire process from making the appointment for the consultation and everything thereafter was streamlined and easy with all questions answered! It was very apparent that Dr. O’ Daniel is top notch in his field and truly has a passion for his work and his patients! After leaving the office that day, I knew without a doubt, that Dr. O’Daniel was the right choice to perform my procedure! Highly, highly recommend!

Fantastic Results and Experience
I had a fantastic experience. The results were amazing, and Dr. O'Daniel and his team were terrific. I really appreciated all of the medications for before and after surgery. Everything was smooth sailing. He is a great doctor (and an artist!) My friends are amazed how "fresh" and "youthful" I look. I am so happy - so glad I choose Dr. O'Daniel!

Excellent before and after surgery!
When it comes to your Face Dr O’Daniel is an artist. My husband and myself were impressed with the information provided by his staff at his office and the surgery center. Even after surgeries all day, Dr O’Daniel called us at 11:00pm to check on me. to make sure I was doing ok! The next morning his nurse also called to check on me. They tell you call if you have ANY QUESTIONS!! I’m only 4 weeks out and so far so good.

I was impressed from day one with my initial consultation with Dr O’Daniel. I was blown away with the photos of his patients…they were jaw dropping. They were all so natural and looked so refreshed, it was amazing. He was not the first surgeon I met with but he was the only surgeon who took the time to educate me on the process and the only one I completely trusted. My pre-op visit was thorough and ensured I understood everything down to the last detail. I gave him carte blanche to do what he wanted and he performed a brow lift, lip lift, facelift, co2 laser around my eyes and fat transfer to my face. I went home that same day and he called to check on me, keeping in close contact throughout the healing process with frequent follow-up visits and texts back and forth. I’m happy with the results and I can’t think of anything that could have been done better throughout the whole process. It was a great experience.

I can not say enough positive things about my experience with Dr O’Daniel and his team. He is not only a brilliant surgeon but an artist, a perfectionist and a compassionate doctor. Dr O’Daniel and his team go above and beyond to make sure his patients are very well cared for. I had my surgery the Friday before Memorial Day weekend.. Dr O’Daniel personally checked on me over the weekend and one for his staff even met me on Sunday to take out the netting. Dr O’Daniel’s nurse Sonya kept in close touch with me over my recovery period and answered all my questions.. I didn’t know this level of personal medical care still existed. Thank you so much Team O’Daniel .. You are first in Class and I am thrilled with my results.

Dr. O’Daniel has been my doctor for close to 15 years. My recent surgery has reaffirmed what I have known for that length of time. He, his office staff, and the surgery center he uses, are all top quality. He is a kind, patient, talented man who goes above and beyond to help people get the results they want. I am one of those 63 year olds who feels young for their age. Now I don’t feel a sense of dissonance when I walk by the mirror. Thanks, Dr. O’Daniel.

Dr ODaniel came highly recommended by 2 of my friends whom used him for breast augmentation. I traveled 3 1/2 hours to meet him for a consultation and knew instantly I was in good hands. I felt I was given ample time to discuss what I wanted, he was very precessional and kind, he reviewed with me pages of before & after pictures and helped me decide on what implants would work best for my body and told me why. I had surgery 3 weeks later. I am 1 week post-op and couldnt be more pleased!!
