I’ve been seeing Dr Danto and Josh (his PA) for about 7 years. They are top notch, my pain has gotten so much better that it doesn’t impact my life and I am able to workout again. Before seeing them I was so sad and in so much pain that I wouldn’t hardly do anything active. These guys are awesome and I would never go to anyone else. I trust them 110%

Worst Dr visit ever. Took day off work to take my daughter to see doctor for therapy after waiting for 3 weeks for a appointment we finally get to go inside so my daughter can be seen, rude obnoxious nurse asked for a film we were supposed to bring which no one gave us any film of the X rays previously taken therefore we had no film. Nurse leaves room then comes back in room & holds close to my face a copy of a email that had been sent to me where it read " bring films on day of visit if yoy have any " I have never had HMO in my life so I have never had to do the staffs legwork meanwhile my daughter is in so much pain finally doctor sits down ask for film again which we don't have & says well I will refer her for therapy, ugh I thought that's why we were here today? Offended he says I am not a therapist I am a doctor ( in a very snobby tone ) he acknowledged my daughter for about 4-5 min , by then I was in tears it took all of me to stay quiet. Unbelievable this doctor is a money hungry snobby &@@"-?% who can careless of the patient in front of him. I don't like to rant nor complain but this is my first negative post with the objective of people who google first & look at rating don't waste your time. Only reason I did not google him waa because the doctor who reffered my daughter to this doctor is a great doctor.

Dr, Danto is very good therefore he is busy and sometimes one must wait a bit however, the wait is totally worth your time. He is very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. His aim is to help you so you don't have to go to surgery. He is the first doctor I see when it comes to anything connected to spine. I whole heartedly recommend Dr. Danto to anyone with spine problems. He will locate to source of pain and treat it appropriately. Thank You Dr. Danto.

This is third world care. Yhey are never on time and there are 50 people in a waiting room. Dr Dr. Danto will spend 5 minutes with you and the rest is his overworked and in efficient team. The administrative team is the worst , he is never on time so expect to wait for at least 30 - 40 minutes every time. The whole experience is medical care at its worst.

After 3 years and numerous dr's, Dr. Danto was the first Dr to figure out what was wrong. Yes, i had a minor tear in my L5disc and a crack that had a bulge hitting my sciatic, but he found that the pain was from a condition called lumbar spondylosis (not a tear which i was going to PT for and it was getting worse by the day, from a previous dr). After our consultation he got me going in pt and gave me a epidural injection that was tolerable. Although the other dr.'s weren't wrong he was able to see what the source of pain was. After 3 months, pt and 1 injection, my pain has gone from an everyday 9 to 6 and we are not done with our treatment plan! He was the first Dr. to give me HOPE, LISTEN, and TREAT me like a family member. He spends all the time with you that you need and NEVER rushes you out the door. He is amazing and i will never leave his care. Since the pain is now manageable, my husband and i can finally attempt to conceive our first child! Highly recommended. THANKS DR.

First visit went well (although took 2 months to schedule). Was prescribed 6 weeks of physical therapy (2 to 3 visits/week - $40/visit) which I completed. At follow up appointment, the line to reception was out the door and halfway down the stairs. I checked in about 5 minutes prior to my scheduled time. After 30 minutes of waiting I left. I figured that even if they had called my name at that time, I would spend another 30 to 40 minutes in the exam room prior to seeing the doctor, which would put me at at least an hour past my scheduled appointment time. When they called the night before to confirm that I would be there, they could have indicated that they were overbooked and rescheduled me for a few days out--very unprofessional to make people wait that long. I was very shocked that there was no follow up ("...Mr. T. we see that you checked in but did not stay for your appointment - was there a problem? Would you like to reschedule?") Nothing. Time to find a new doctor.

I was very disappointed with the care I received from Dr. Danto. I truly believe that I was used as a guinea pig for my 2nd epidural procedure. There was a medical equipment rep in the surgical suite with Dr. Danto when he did the epidural. It was the worst ever. The first one was a piece of cake, so I wasn't worried for the 2nd one, until I saw this guy in there and Dr. Danto was using something 'new' but that he had "used before," according to him. Strangely enough, I never was billed. I had complained to him about this whole issue and told him that I could never have one again without being put under. After a while went by, I called the office to see if he could fax a prescription for continuing my physical therapy...the office staff said he had to see me. They refused to oblige my request and I asked them to run it by Dr. Danto and see what he says and get back to me and they NEVER got back to me. I no longer go to him. And I would never refer him. Dr. Chen is good I hear

Like the other reviewer stated - he's a busy doctor. Our appt. was at 3:30pm...and finally got into the actual exam room at 5:05pm. then waited another 40 minutes for doctor Danto to come in to see us! He spent a good 10-12 minutes with us. We left at 6:05 pm! Way to long a time there!!! I complained - all they responded with was : "He's a good doctor". That is not a good response. They need to schedule 4 less patients a day at least.

I'm sure Dr. Danto is very good at what he does, but he was so busy during each of my visits, that I never got a chance to really talk about my condition. His visits were under 10 minutes and his staff did everything, unfortunately, not accurately, which required follow-up calls to Dr. Danto. Dr. Danto was surprised that things were not done by his staff as he had assumed, but didn't appear to make any efforts to slow down or correct the office errors. I didn't feel like I was getting the best care, even though I sensed he was a good Doctor.
