Came early for an appointment, which was one of the last for the day, and was led to examination room after check in with copay collection. Spoke with a medical assistant and informed him of my issue. Was then directed to take x-rays, which surely with cost $100, even with good insurance coverage, and then led back to the exam room. The doctor came in with a scribe, and I explained my injury. A 1 minute examination of the injured area was performed, and then I was told to do physical therapy and check with my previous orthopedic specialist. Without even checking the Epic chart to see past MRI summary notices, the medical opinion was given solely based off x-rays and a quick examination. Super disappointed I wasted my time, while I'm in agonizing pain with no real diagnosis and prognosis. read more

Didn't even saw my injury. It wants to replace my shoulder. That was very unprofessional.

Dr. Steve Danaceau is a great orthopedic surgeon. Over the past 10 years, he has helped me recover from the following 3 separate injuries: broken fibula, torn achilles tendon and broken foot bone. He is knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and has excellent judgement. I have referred many friends and family members to Dr. Danaceau and they have all had a similar (outstanding) experience. I highly recommend him to anybody that needs to see an orthopedist. read more

Dr. Danaceau did a wonderful job diagnosing my shoulder after a recent bicycle crash, quickly finding the problem, examining it both physically and through an MRI, giving me realistic options, ruling out what turned out to be unneeded surgery, and charting a plan to heal the damage with humor, clarity, and good listening. His mastery of the medical issues came across at every step. Happy to give a great recommendation!! read more

Dr. Danaceau is absolutely wonderful as is his staff. He did an incredible job repairing my traumatic tibial plateau fracture and I just can't say enough wonderful things about how I was treated throughout the process. The surgery itself seemed complicated and he did a great job and I've had a relatively smooth recovery. He never makes you feel dumb for asking a question and he absolutely gives you his full time and attention during the visits, which is not always the case with doctors. His staff have been just so thoughtful and courteous each and every time I've been there. I particularly appreciate the front desk staff who was really kind to me when I had an issue with my physical therapist and listened thoughtfully and took notes even though we were talking about a billing matter related to PT. I had to wait about 45 minutes one follow-up visit, but considering I was fit in as an emergency appointment after my accident and I'm sure someone else had to wait for me, I appreciate that the staff fit that person it because having been in that kind of pain, that person definitely deserved to go first. Other than that time I have always been seen on time. The online portal is fantastic to review your follow up notes and they are really timely about getting any forms filled out you need for other providers or any other reason. read more

Dr Danaceau is a wonderful surgeon - he operated on my broken leg (a tib/fib break) and guided me through the recovery process. Would highly recommend him. His staff is amazing as well. Nice, hard-working, smart. I am glad my injury healed fully and I no longer have to come back, but at the same time will miss these people and office! Thanks for everything! read more

Avoid this doctor. Appointments ran late, despite the five page policy page they make you sign swearing YOU won't be late (and will be charged a large amount if you are). I went in for turf-toe and I was only given an x-ray, not a MRI. The diagnosis "stop running completely, and see if that gets better" No orthopedics, no PT treatment, nothing. By far the worst - when I tried to get a copy of my x-rays for a new doctor (one to follow up with this not-so-great appointment) the assistant informed me that since the x-rays were physical only, NOT digital, I would have to "check out my x-rays, then return them, or be charged." What doctor doesn't do digital x-rays anymore? Find another doctor, and save yourself the hassle of a follow-up with a different doctor. read more

Dr. Danaceau is outstanding. Thoughtful, caring, and really takes the time to hear his patients. Really hear them. In an era of diagnose and dash he and his staff take time with their patients. As for the staff - outstanding!! read more

I was referred to Dr Danaceau's office after going to the ER. The ER Dr reached out to Dr Danaceau and he was able to review my X-rays. I was told to call the next day since Dr Danaceau was able to squeeze me in for an appointment. I called in the morning, scheduled my appointment and was seen early. I must say that Dr Danaceau is definitely very knowledgeable and has a fantastic bedside manner. He did not rush through my appointment and answered all my question and concerns. He was able to show me my X-rays and explain to me in detail what I broke in my leg and ankle, and what needs to be done to fix it. My first impression of Doctor Danaceau is that he definitely cares for his patients. As I left the office, I know I will be in good hands and have no worries. I'm definitely very pleased that the ER in VHC reached out to a great doctor. Thank you Dr Danaceau! read more

Dr. Danaceau has seen me for multiple issues including a quadriceps tear and shoulder pain. He has also treated my son for a collar-bone break and a broken foot. He has explained to me several times that cortisone does not help me heal and is only for pain relief so I've declined. Excellent skill and manner. read more

I had knee swelling and severe pain. I found the receptionist and technical staff were fine and efficient - but was not happy with the Dr. D who did no manipulation of my knee, no physical diagnostics - relied on the MRI and his X-rays. Second appointment after 3 weeks of PT - again no physical testing - and he never read the PT report. At both office visits he talked about surgery - I wanted to avoid surgery. Offered no alternatives and was quite dis-interested in level of pain or improvements from PT. Mysterious stone-faced assistant (NP?) asked me how my "shoulder" was doing (?) Too weird. I immediately found another orthopedic doctor - at least they are treating the correct part - knee. Oh, and the new doctor manipulates my knee, determines the fluid could be reduced, had several suggestions for treatment and actually read the progress reports. Don't put up with a doctor who fails to establish trust. Even if surgery is a final option - it is not the first. nor only way to go. read more

I had a number of appointments here in 2017 while experiencing knee pain. Dr. Danaceau was friendly, but never remembered me or my situation when I would return for follow-up appointments. He also misdiagnosed my MRI, believing I had a stress fracture on my kneecap and recommending ongoing physical therapy. At my last follow-up appointment, he looked at my swollen knee and said "that's a surgery." He gave no details on exactly what he would be operating on, and told me to "think about it." I finally went to get a second opinion from a different doctor. My new doctor looked at the same MRI, immediately diagnosed a full-thickness cartilage defect on my kneecap, and offered me other treatment options including a cortisone shot. I eventually opted for microfracture and allograft surgery, and in post-operative pictures I saw clearly the full-thickness defect that Dr. Danaceau completely missed, despite taking pride at the time in reading his own MRIs. Dr. Danaceau's staff was nice. I didn't have any bad experiences in his office. But I found the misdiagnosis and recommendation for exploratory knee surgery to be disconcerting after getting a correct diagnosis. If you're recommended orthopedic surgery, I highly recommend seeking a second opinion. read more

What wonderful care and calming of my nerves when I broke both wrists. The staff is so kind and warm. The Dr is wonderful with answering all questions you may have. I have never be left waiting in a room alone looking at my watch. They are very well organized and I'm happy to have them as my Orthopedic Center read more

My 3 year old daughter broke her arm two days ago, and our pediatrician called every orthopedic surgeon in town to get us an appointment. Nobody could see us for another week -- which was clearly not ok with a kid with a broken arm -- except Dr. Danaceau, who fit us in at 630am this morning! He and his office staff were lovely and very sweet with my kiddo. We did not feel rushed at all and Dr. Danaceau was really helpful when explaining to me the options and prognosis. Dr. Danaceau and the nurse (whose name I did not catch) were very cute with my kiddo -- so much so that when we left the office with a cute pink cast on my kid's arm - she declared, "I love doctors!" I am very grateful for Dr. Danaceau and his staff. read more

The doc is one of the best I've ever had. His receptionist is extremely unprofessional and even rude both over the phone and in person. When I was in the office, I watched her repeatedly cut an older lady off mid-conversation with short, blunt, totally not-courteous responses, as if she didn't have time to deal with her. Over the phone she's eager to hang up, interrupt you, and refuse to give you any form of pleasant demeanor. Worst receptionist, best doctor. read more

I was in a car accident and injured my thumb, back and neck about 6 months ago. I called Dr. Danaceau's office to schedule a appointment and they were able to schedule me right away. I went and the staff couldn't of been nicer to me. They were very pleasant and helpful and the doctor was able to see me right away with very little wait. Dr. Danaceau did a x-ray of my thumb and told me I had a microscopic fracture. He gave me a cast and referred me to physical therapy for my back and neck pain. PT was great and made me feel a lot better. My thumb is still not a 100% yet but he told me that it can take a while for a injury like this to completely heal. Dr. Danaceau continues to follow up with me to make sure I am getting better. By far he is the nicest doctor I had ever had the pleasure of seeing and I would definitely recommend him to everyone. read more

Dr. Danaceau and his staff are excellent, They expedited and facilitated scheduling my surgery when I dislocated and fractured my shoulder. I was in the OR within two days of my appointment. Dr. Danaceau personally returns calls promptly and the front office is very efficient and responsive. They get you in, xrayed and seen, answer your questions and out on time... read more

I was a patient at Dr. D's back in 2014, and the billing process has been a nightmare. After being incorrectly billed multiple times, I was told by the office to ignore the bills because they were changing billing companies. To this day, I still get bills, and I just called the office again. They didn't have record of a payment I made the the office last year-Thankfully I have proof that it was paid and cashed, but I has been a nightmare going back and forth getting this all sorted out. The account inquires that are sent from them are not professional and different from any other document I've seen come out of a doctor's office. My recommendation is to stay far away. read more

Dr Danaceau has an excellent demeanor. I feel like he understands what I'm going through. He is comforting and direct with his suggestions. I'm receiving his full attention in the room and excellent care by him and his friendly staff. Every person who walks in is treated as if they are very important. I love it!! read more

I have been going to Dr. Danaceau for at least a decade for a number of serious knee, shoulder and other issues, and I have always been highly please with his diagnostic skills and successful treatment methods. He also listens very well and takes seriously all of my concerns and issues. Finally, he is willing to spend as much time with me as I need rather than adhering to a standard turnaround-time that some offices and hospitals follow. read more

Dr. Danaceau was wonderful! Fully professional, on time, and really good with my teenage son. We had had a terrible experience with another ortho practice, waiting 2 hours. This was a great experience! read more

The lady who answers the phone is extremely rude. No people skills or interest in helping the patients. The doctor will sent you to do MRIs without doing proper tests first. Good way to cost the patient plenty of money. STAY AWAY!!! read more

I agree with Rachel avoid him . On of his receptionist is unfriendly was not helpful at all I am very disappointed with the service.

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Danaceau and his office. Our 2 y.o. daughter hurt her wrist and was in a lot of pain and very scared. Dr. Danaceau was very calming and gentle. His staff were very friendly and went out of their way to make her feel comfortable. Highly recommend this office, especially for kids. Thank you Dr Danaceau for taking great care of our daughter! read more

I've had nothing but pleasant experiences at dr. Danaceau office. The staff is always professional and considerate whenever I call or come in for an appointment. Customer service at its finest! read more

My mother was in a car accident a few years ago and suffered a fractured ankle and was referred here. Dr. Danaceau was good, when we saw him. The only consistently polite staff members were the physical therapists, who unfortunately rotated out every few weeks. But the rest of the staff at his office and the physical therapy group he works with (in the same building), were downright mean and nasty EVERY TIME. Not only would these poor excuses of human beings shriek at you for being late and get nasty when my Mom had mobility problems getting her boot or brace off and on, but also all of a sudden they didn't take checks when not even five minutes beforehand Dr. Danaceau said "Of course we take checks". Of course, when I mentioned that I didn't have a credit card with me I was then told that I needed to read the forms my Mother had signed because that explained the 45 dollar fee for Dr. Danaceau to sign two lines on a form that was already filled out by another doctor. Are you kidding me? FORTY FIVE dollars to sign two lines on a piece of paper? So I had to call my brothers and relay the whole thing to them only to have them told when they came in by the same ladies that the office did, in fact, take checks. REALLY? Are all the women there PMS-ing 24/7? I would've understood the GIGANTIC attitudes if we were demanding or constantly complaining, but 9 times out of 10 we were the only patients in the entire office that two hour time frame and we were in and out in a half hour once we finally saw the doctor. If they refer you here, do yourself a favor and ask for a second referral elsewhere because it is just not worth the stress and attitude only to be told you need to rest another 6-8 weeks and see how you're doing or get threatened when your insurance company hasn't paid them yet. No matter how many times we told Dr. Danaceau how nasty and hostile his staff was, their attitude never improved. I was glad to get the hell out of there after that last appointment. Now I don't even drive down that way if I can possibly help it. read more
