Absolutely terrible. I had no pain in my tooth, and he told me I needed a cavity filling. Two days after the filling, I had severe pain in my tooth and I returned to his office. He told me I will likely need a root canal, which ends up costing me $ 1300 and exhausting my insurance. The root canal dentist told me it is quite likely McDaniel drilled too deep and caused trauma to a nerve, which caused the root canal to be needed.
Now I have to pay an additional $ 1100 for a crown on top of the $ 1300 for the root canal procedure. And my insurance is exhausted for the entire year. And get this — McDaniel refused to even refund me the $ 100 for the initial botched filling that led to all of this. Told me he has to pay his staff and showed no concern for me and how I was doing following the root canal he caused! Didn’t even give me the dignity of asking how the tooth is feeling!!!
I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised he messed up the filling — he regularly hums, sings, and distracts himself with pointless talk while he performs work. I have had upwards of 20 cavity fillings in my life, and none of the others have led to a root canal, never mind one week later. Additionally, during the procedure he never mentioned anything about possibly needing a root canal, only after I returned complaining of pain and he realized how badly he’d botched the procedure.
Avoid this guy like the plague — he apparently mistakes his dentist drill for a jackhammer. And keep in mind that all he sees when you walk in the door is $$$$$ for his staff — he couldn’t care less about the patients themselves.

This office is a well oiled machine! I typically hate the dentist-but here’s why I choose to go here, even with no insurance:
Aspen dental wanted me to have 6K worth of work! Root canals for everyone! When I went to Dr McDaniel, he reviewed the X-rays, explained what I NEEDED done-not what lined the office’s pockets.
ON TOP OF THAT-he referred me elsewhere for the cleaning I needed and the one root canal had to be done, knowing I had no insurance. (I opted to still do everything there-ethical businesses aren’t common anymore and I’m happy I found one!)
Bruce (front office manager-I believe that’s his name) and the rest of the folks in the waiting room take the «edge» off if you’re a nervous patient like me.
Oh-and he did a filling in 15 min! And that included sanding down another filling that I got in AZ that was apparently botched. Once Dr McDaniel fixed it I could actually bite evenly again!
Go here, and only here. Thankfully, he looks no where near retirement age-I’ll never see another dental professional unless it’s this office.
