Dr McDaniel seems to be the perfect surgeon for me. He was very informative and extremely confident which in turn made me feel confident in my decision for the surgery! I already trust him completely.
My first impression of Dr. McDaniel was very good as well as his whole staff. They worked really hard to get me into the office fast and to accomadate me because I have to drive over an hour to get there. He talked with me and he listened to me. Their emphasis on choices and aftercare was genuine and I know that this is just a tool to help me change my lifestyle. I've been to see two other surgeons and this is definately when I feel most comfortable.
he was a wonderful man, so pleasant an understanding.the staff was just as great, jennifer his nurse is so sweet too. Any one that goes to him from the very first will like him. every thing about dr. mcdaniel and his staff is great.
Well, now Dr. McDaniel and group have to endure a hug every time I see them. I am just so grateful for this life changing surgery and for the expertise of everyone involved. I would highly recommend Dr. McDaniel to anyone considering bariatric surgery. On my first visit, I was so excited as I had HOPE for the first time in decades that I could be healthy again. I could tell Dr. McDaniel was knowledgeable and he and Ron his PA made sure I understood not only what was done surgically during the RNY, but also that this surgery is a tool, behavior modification and exercise would be necessary for success, and that there are risks. What really hit me was how passionate Dr. McDaniel is about what this surgery is capable of doing for the morbidly obese. He is also compassionate, as is everyone I have met in his group. Ron is one of the kindest people I've ever met and Jennifer, his nurse has always responded quickly and with a smile with any medical questions I have had. Ann and Veronica were professional, diligent, and kind and everyone in the office I have met have always been friendly in person and over the phone. Phone calls and emails are returned promptly if the person you need to speak to is not immediately available. The anesthesiologist and OR nurse I met were terrific also. These folks care. They care about you pre surgery and they care about you post op. I only wish that I could fully participate in their aftercare program, but I live 15 hours away! (yes, the drive and/or flights are worth it!) Even if you live several hours away from Victoria, Texas, you should, IMO, check on the excellent program at Citizens Bariatric Center, Crossroads Surgical Group, and Dr. McDaniel. A million thanks to Dr. McDaniel and all! I will be forever grateful!
Dr. McDaniel is a physician with great talent, and has helped in changing my life for the better. Jennifer; Dr. McDaniel's nurse, is wonderful with the maintenance check-ups, and is friendly. Dr. McDaniel cares about what is going on with you far after the surgery. Still, he's not going to bug you about coming in for a check-up. Maybe, just a friendly reminder if an appointment has been made. Dr. McDaniel has a wonderful Physician's Assistant named Ron that is equally friendly as his nurse. Ron gives detailed information to pre-surgery patients re: risks of surgery. He's also there to help you prepare emotionally for this new experience. I rate my experience with Dr. McDaniel and his staff a #10. I believe that surgical competence is better than bedside manner. But, if you can have both from your physician that's a plus!
All I can say is "He is the BEST." His staff is superba and I am thrilled that I am in Dr. McDaniels care.I would rate him a 10 - outstanding.
His assitant Ron pretty much filled me in on what to expect and answered all the questions as far as the medical facilities. So by the time Dr McDaniel came in I felt pretty at ease. He answered all my questions and was very kind and caring.
