I was a patient at this office for 2 years before leaving. In that time I felt very rushed in all of my appointments. It was fine for my yearly visit, but anything beyond that was difficult, challenging, and I felt completely uncared for. I received an abnormal result, was called by the office after hours and could not understand the womens accent on the phone, which resulted in me only understanding the words "cancer" and I need to come in right away. It sent me into a full panic attack. When I tried to call back minutes later to get a clearer report, I was visited by the answering machine. Dr. Danna did personally talk to me in the morning to clear it up, which I appreciated. I went back several months later for my pre-conception appointment and was made to feel like an idiot for making that appointment. I was in the room for 5 minutes total and simply told, well, hopefully Ill see you in 8 weeks. From there we ended up having infertility issues, I went back to Dr. Danna later that year and was only handed a pamphlet for a fertility specialist. That was it. It appeared that I was only important to that office if I needed a pap smear or was pregnant. A few weeks later, I called the nurse and left message about some medicines I was taking and had questions. I was never called back. That was it, I left that office, found an office that would help me conquer infertility and cared about my needs. I never felt comfortable in that office, never felt like they cared about me as a patient, and felt as though every appointment they were in was rush to get to the next patient.

I have decided to switch Drs because Dr Danna did NOT live up to my expectations. She is NOT friendly at all!! She never once looked at me in my eyes when i spoke to her. She was very short with me and never made me feel important nor comfortable. She NEVER once asked me how are you feeling today any concerns NOTHING!! Which is VERY unusual considering the fact im seeing her for my pregnancy!! And when i would ask her questions or approach her about concerns she wouldnt give me the time of day and was VERY short. I gave her 3 office visits to see if maybe she was having a bad day. Nope. She is just not a compassionate doctor. Also, shes very rough. I just had my first vaginal exam with her and she hurt me so bad i was clinging to the bed. That has never happened to me before and when examining my stomach, she pushed so hard down where my baby is i screamed ouch thats not normal. Nor should that happen. So i switched Doctors, thats how unsatisfied i am.

Couldnt give a zero star. but I would due to Dr. Dana. Terrible checkups. Doesnt give the time of day or sit and talk about any issues or any concerns. Its always rushed, in and out as far as her service. The waiting room takes forever. Very unfriendly and uncompassionate. We were told Dr.Dana was a good doctor, Im laughing because that person is also an idiot. But, we tried not knowing how disappointing this experience would be. For a headache your told to take oxycodon or percaset which is completely unsafe for the baby and my wife. Shes 32 years old and has to deal with this? We had her take Tylenol and shes fine, but in the beginning they were unbearable. So shes being prescribed percaset and oxy? Drug dealers sell that crap and we have to deal with that for an headache? Dr.Dana is the worst experience and we will not be delivering with her nor will we recommend her to ANYONE. Had to leave due to the unprofessionalism that is this woman.

We tried a few before deciding on Dr. Danna and looking at the other reviews wonder if they are plants by the other OBGYNS we went to. The nurses were not rude or unhelpful; they were professional and business-like. If the guy at "justbrakes" was better then I think you went to the wrong place for the wrong reason, and if anybody is disappointed with her, just what exactly were you expecting? She is straightforward without being uncaring, direct without being cookie-cutter and we trust her with our baby. When we ask her questions she answers, but she doesnt pretend to know everything and follows up on questions she says she needs to look into. When we have concerns she gives us evidence-based reasons for her opinion. Wed recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, sincere OBGYN.

I think dr. Danna has become completely desensitized to her job! She is there to help people, be compassionate, educate clients and so much more for people. She has lost that obviously! Accused me of lying about having a test done..that was normal...because she believes that is my problem when Im sorry I know what tests were ran on me. But I was sure to fax the results and then call and let them know I will never be returning back to see her again and get my records to go elsewhere! I am not going to have someone Im seeking help from, accuse me of lying or not know what Im talking about. I work in the medical field...Im not an idiot! I would not recommend her at all!!!

Dr. Danna, has no bedside manners, she is quick with her patients , did not allow my wife and to explain our recent medical episode, she was dismisive and short answers. My wifes heart rate was 175 usually its around 130, nurse was concerned , but Dr Danna was dismissive when asked, Their office is owned by Physician Associates, it is like medical Mill, she could not wait to get out of the room, because they have booked her appointments every10 minutes , this is my third and last visit, staff is different every time.

Dr. Danna is competent, efficient, capable, and caring. She has a straightforward bedside manner wherein she assesses the situation, answers questions with evidence-based opinions, and determines a course of treatment. All of the staff are kind and professional. They are your medical team, not your best friends. That said, Dr. Danna has gone out of her way for me as a patient many, many times. Ive recommend her to friends who continue to see her, and I continue to drive from Sanford for appointments.

Dr. Danna gave, hands-down, the least-uncomfortable pelvic exam Ive ever had. I hardly felt it! it was incredible! Also, when I had an extremely negative reaction to an attempted IUD insertion, she was exactly the kind of doctor I would want - calm but concerned, caring, and put my well-being as the priority. She had to leave while I was recovering and ensured a smooth transition to the new gyn filling in. I loved her as my gyn and was sad to leave her when I moved out of state.
