The doctor was good and his assistant checked me well to give him a good information beforehand. Only disappointment was he doesn't do the Acupuncture due to the Covid.
Although I did e-check in, I was asked to fill the same form again at the office. It looked like there were constantly problems with website.
Even though he accepts my insurance, Zocdoc sent me a message he is out of the network.

It was very good. We finally have a diagnosis for my knee problem, and a good, conservative approach to correct the issue.

He’s a really smart doctor but he has a way of making you feel dumb. If you have a specific problem he is very competent at identifying and treating but I wouldn’t expect a warm and compassionate experience.

December 17, 2020Robert T.Verified patient
This Dr was extremely inappropriate making comments sexual in nature not only in front of me but in front of a female dr colleague. He also humiliated and talked down to the same female Dr. I was extremely the uncomfortable the entire time. I would never go back to any Dr who behaves like that.

Excellent, informative and prompt
September 11, 2020Susan T.Verified patient
Dr. Danesh listened to me, validated me and really made me feel in good hands. I like his more holistic or "less is more" approach, i.e., he isn't rushing to use prescriptions or procedures but wants me to use tools like PT to help. I really like his style and feel that I'm in safe care with him and feel better already having the peace of mind that he gave me.
September 2, 2020Sonya C.Verified patient
I have been going to Dr. Danesh for over a year. He’s very nice and professional. Any procedures I need done he is able to schedule right away. Wait times are always minimal. He’s also super responsive over the instant messaging app for his practice which is great.

He is a straight shooter, he got to the heart of my pain and solved it in 5 min. I came in for him to help with one thing and he fixed my other issues. He is very personable and has a great vibe and his funny. I will recommend him to anybody.

As a doctor working in a very different speciality, I highly recommend Dr. Danesh and the pain fellow working with him today, Dr. Evans. They used the appropriate terminology with me and provided clarification where I needed it. I appreciated their nonjudgmental approach and “thorough yet efficient” bedside manner. I walked away with a comprehensive and appropriate treatment plan accounting for each level of pain severity I’m experiencing.
December 26, 2019Christina P.Verified patient
Super punctual and efficient. Great experience.

Everyone was professional and positive. Dr. Danesh is approachable and thorough. I went for an X-ray immediately for a chronic problem and expect to start physical therapy next week. I am grateful.

Dr. Danesh is extremely compassionate and thorough. He tailored a comprehensive treatment plan for me and made me feel confident in my recovery when other doctors could not. He followed up promptly with my physician and with me. Couldn't recommend a doctor more highly.

September 1, 2015Terry H.Verified patient
I am very happy to meet Dr. Danesh. He has excellent bedside manner and he took his time to listen to my numerous complaints and frustration on a chronic condition I've been suffering since the beginning of this year. I left the office feeling very hopeful with his treatment plan.

I left with a clear understanding of my spinal issues and future direction. Honest, direct answers after thorough exam. Ten out of ten (not on the pain scale).
July 8, 2015Andrea W.Verified patient
It was a quick visit in which he determined I had a detatched ligament or two in my knee, and then sent me to radiology. We meet again tomorrow.
January 7, 2015Dennis L.Verified patient
Very knowledgeable, specific, tangibly helpful. I feel very confident after seeing him that we can fix my back. Also very pleasant to talk to.
