Citizens Medical Center Hospital

My first impression of Dr. McDaniel: "He's so young". He is approachable and willing to answer your questions in terms patients can understand. His staff is compentent in their areas of responsibility. The office is comfortably equiped for large size patients. His surgical competence and bedside manner is great. He emphasied using my primary care physician for other health issues not related to the weight loss surgery which I found to be of great value since he cannot be an expert at all things and acknowdleges his patients needs to include their primary care providers in his circle of care. I would recommend that he advise his patients to seek after surgery nutritional counseling sometime after the six week aftercare visit with him. It definitely was of great benefit to me to have the one on one visit with a nutrition in addition to the one size fit all pre surgery nutritional session. I would and have told others to use his care.

Dr McDaniel was wonderful, smart and kind. He seems to care about me even more now since the surgery. Everyone there in his office is wonderful and polite. Liked everythig. That he is a wonderful person. And he cares a great deal about his patients no matter how long you've been a patient of his.

He went over all of the risks associated on the surgery, before and after. Answered all my questions without seeming like he was in a hurry at all. I would give him an 11 on a scale from 1-10. Both are great. I have recommended at least 3 of my friends to him and have all had surgery w/him. All are happy with Dr. McDaniel.

The wing of the hospital was didicated to WLS patients. The nurses were very knowledgeable about the surgery and Dr.s procedures. It was a very pleasant hospital stay.

Excellent staff. Spacious clean quiet Rooms.

I met Dr. McDaniel at a seminar that his office held on 1/27 in Corpus. I was hoping he would be there and he was. I got to talk to him briefly was very glad I did because he is very intelligent and and caring in laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. The staff that I got to meet at the seminar were exetremely friendly and more than willing to answer and help me in any way. I do have an appointment set up with for 3/31 for my first visit. I went for my first visit and I have to say that Dr. McDaniel and his staff are great, wonderful, awesome and outstanding. Both Scott and I are more calm and okay with the surgery now than before. Dr. McDaniel took his time answering any questions we had and made us feel very comfortable with the surgery. Ron is just so sweet. The girls in the office are just as awesome.

the stuff was great if you needed somthing they would come within a couple min.they was very quit at night so you could rest.

The unit was very cean, private and the nurses were excellent!!

Dr. McDaniel is very good looking so really makes you nervous but he is noce and to the point. I didnt really spend alot of time with him..but his staff are wonderful!!!

My first impression of Dr. McDaniel was good. I had 2 visits with him before my surgery so I diden't get to know him real well. During my surgery and Hospital stay my impression of him went from good to Great. The more I see him and get to know him the better it gets. I now think he is FANTASTIC! His office staff is great. Very friendly and helpful. They make you feel very comfortable. If I had to pick something that I diden't like it would be that I only got to see him 2 times before my surgery and diden't get to know him very well. However, I researched this a year before I decided to get it done and heard nothing but fabulous things about him and his staff so I felt like I had know him a long time. Aftercare is a big part of his program. They have a structured aftercare program and I recommend that is is followed. The risks of the surgery were discussed at all my pre-op visits and the day of surgery. I would rate Dr McDaniel A+++! His surgical competence and bedside manner are wonderful. HE IS THE GREATEST. I have come to conclude that the people who have problems are the people who do not follow the aftercare program. It must be followed very strictly for at least 6 to 8 weeks.

All the staff I encountered were GREAT. It didn't matter what part of the process I was in and all the staff was great. They were so friendly and understanding of my situation and made me feel like a real person, not a number.
