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.

Amazing and listens

We have been seeing him for many years. He seems like part of the family. He always listens to me and always asks my daughter about herself and how she feels. Recommend to all.

A blessing for my mental health

I have struggled with anxiety my whole life and after trying 3 providers & numerous medications, I was recommended to Dr Daniel’s who was able to help keep my anxiety to a livable level through medication management. I have been on this medication for over 2 years and have gained my life back. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.

My daughter who has HF Autism has been seeing Dr. Daniels for a while and trust him fully. When the abrupt closer of Christian Psychotherapy happened he was the only provider to reach out to us and let us know what happened and how he was going to resolve the issue for his patients. He sent an email letting us know that he would do whatever he could do to keep helping my daughter with minimal disruption and we truly appreciate him. Dr. Daniels always takes time to listen to my daughter and explain in detail anything that she does not understand. He takes his time with her and never makes us feel rushed. Dr. Daniels always makes himself available for any issues that may arise. By his actions, you can tell he truly loves what he does. He always wants them to be a productive member of society and successful.

My daughter is a very shy girl but going to Dr. Daniels she says she enjoys her visits and that he helps her focusing. We love the care we receive with him and could not ask for a better provider. Working in healthcare myself, I have expectations walking into practices and he far exceeds these that I have.

As a health care provider myself, I cannot rave enough about Dr. Daniels. We came to him shortly before Christian Psychotherapy closed abruptly and we were experiencing a health crisis with out 7 year old. He helped transition us to his new practice while never losing focus on our sons needs. He has been a god sent with such compassion, empathy and experience. Our son was tested and diagnosed with Autism at 8 years old.. Dr. Daniel picked up on all of his quirks / behavior patterns and has been a fabulous resource to our entire family.

My sons have been under the care of Dr. Daniels for 8 years. We are confident in his approach to care. Dr. Daniels is not a throw medication at the patient and hope that something works provider. He goes the extra mile to do lab tests to see what would be beneficial based on my children's chemical makeup. We are blessed to have such an attentive provider and look forward to continuing being his patient at his new location.

My son has been going to Dr. Daniels for the last couple of years. He is great, professional and truly cares about his patients. He sees so many but still remembers little details about them like what they like or life events. He knows his stuff but speaks in a way that even the most unlearned can understand. I would recommend him for anyone. You will be in good hands.

Dr. Daniels is a great doctor who has a great way of interacting with teens and kids. My son has behavior issues and really likes seeing Dr. Daniels. He takes a personal approach with each child/teen. He has a laid back approach with the kids, but very professional . He is warm and welcoming every time we see him. I would highly recommend him.

My son loves Dr. Daniels and I do too. He truly listens and takes his time listening to any concerns or challenges. He then discussed ideas with you. He doesn’t just tell you what he’s going to do like other doctors tend to do. I love that about him. Keeps us all involved in the process. I’m so glad we found him

Dr. Daniels is a caring and thorough practitioner. He is very attentive to his patients, listening and asking questions to find out how things are really going. He doesn’t just treat symptoms, he looks at the overall picture and makes a plan to address the causes as well. He follows up when he feels it’s needed even between appointments. And he also watches out for discount programs for prescriptions to help families afford care. I would highly recommend him.
