My wife and I were referred to Dr. Danielson by our dentist, Dr. Larson. My wife has been hesitant about visiting the dentist office due to an abundance of horrible experiences in the past. I am pleased to say that Dr. Danielson was great. He was extremely polite. He took his time while explaining different procedures as well as the best course of action to take. He apologized for all of the rotten dentist that my wife had encountered and ensured that he would make her visit and procedure pleasant. Dr. Danielson was even knowledgeable of my wife's rare bone condition and explained the correlation of problems that are taking place with her teeth and her bones. Dr. Danielson was an excellent choice. The 5 star rating is for him only. His staff however is another story. I will start with Genevieve, the receptionist. When we walked in her greeting was dull and bland, just a, hi and what was the name and appointment time. There was no professional courtesy extended to my wife during her conversation with her as far as making her feel welcomed as a new patient. She asked my wife for our insurance information, so my wife told her it should be on file due to the fact that her chart, x-rays and financial information were e-mailed over from her dentist. Genevieve told my wife she could look it up but it would take to long. So my wife asked me to give her our insurance card. She handed my wife the new patient paperwork to fill out. My wife gave Genevieve a printed copy (JPEG) of her own dental x-rays that our dentist gave to her. She asked Genevieve if she could make a copy of them and give them to Dr. Danielson. (she did not do it. When we went back to see Dr. Danielson, the x-rays were not in her file). While we were sitting in the reception area filling out the paperwork, a person of a different nationality walked in. My wife and I heard, Hi, how are you today. The gentleman replied fine thank you. He told her his name and appointment time and she replied. Ok Great the Dr. will see you shortly, you can have a seat. My wife and I just looked at each other and shook our heads. I looked up to see if maybe a new receptionist had taken over. No. It was Genevieve. Selective greetings and reluctant interpersonal interactions based on race is so unprofessional. We are African American. The other gentleman was Caucasian. read more

I went to Dr. Danielson today for a root canal. It was my first root canal and I was very nervous. However, Dr. Danielson did his best to calm me. He took his time to explain the procedure to me and ensured me he would do all he could to make me comfortable. He constantly checked on me and asked if I was ok during the procedure. I did not feel a thing! He was by FAR the most gentle Dentist/endodontist I have ever been to! I wish I could go to him for all of my dental care! read more

I was referred to Dr. Danielson after seeing my primary dentist for a severe toothache. I had actually looked him up on yelp prior to meeting with him and his staff. There were only four reviews but they were very positive. I went in and had a consultation. It was decided that a root canal would remedy the issue I was having. The procedure was scheduled for the following day. Before leaving the office I was informed that Dr. Danielson was considered out-of-network. I was told my insurance would be contacted and I would be told my out of pocked expenses prior to agreeing to continue with the procedure. I called the office before the close of business and was told my out of pocket would be $150.00. I wasn't too crazy about having to pay that amount but decided to agree because I had already met with Dr. Danielson and felt comfortable. I came in the following day about 15 minutes prior to my scheduled appointment. I found it a little strange that no one was there to greet me. I sat down and waited for a really long time. I decided to walk to the back because I wasn't sure anyone knew I was there. The office manager was on the phone in the back office to the left. She apologized and told me they were very busy but I would be seen shortly. I sat there anxiously waiting for this procedure Ive heard so many horror stories about. After finally getting started it wasn't too bad. The worst part was a sore jaw and hearing Dr. Danielson's stomach make scary noises because he hadn't eaten anything. The next thing I knew he was saying he only needed one more. It was all down hill from there. Once he started working on the last "root" it was EXTREMELY PAINFUL! I felt a shock throughout my body and began sweating. He tried to keep going but my body was not able to sit still. He had his tools on my chest and when I moved some of them obviously fell off. Knees to chest I sat there crying while he completed what he could. He decided to give me two weeks because of the inflammation and aggravation being inflicted. He prescribed me antibiotics to prevent infection because at this point the root canal was not complete. I was given Advil and told my prescription would be called in. I was so shaken and in so much pain I sat in my car for 20 minutes and cried. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain so to be stopped in my tracks like that was surprising. Once I gained my composure I called CVS to make sure my prescription was sent because it was Friday and I wasn't sure if the office was open on the weekend and Monday was Memorial Day. I knew I jumped the gun calling but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I let another 20 minutes pass and called again and still nothing. I called another time or two then decided I needed to call Dr. Danielson's office. Well because it was Friday they closed early. I called a few times and got the exchange. I left a message hoping that maybe someone would still be there and hear my message and sure enough when I called CVS within 20 minutes I was told it had just got called in. At this point my face had started to swell so I knew I needed those antibiotics ASAP. Two weeks pass and I return to complete the procedure. Everything was fine again until reaching the same area as before. He decides to take another measurement because I shouldn't be feeling any pain. He lets me know that the reason I was in so much pain was because his initial measurements were slightly off and he was going too deep. Easy fix for him but that was unnecessary pain that could have been avoided had he properly measured the first time. I know everyone makes mistakes but his mistake was waking me up in the middle of night. Thank God it was finally somewhat complete. I gather my things and go to the front and pay my balance of $156.50. A difference of $6.50 from what I had been told so I wasn't worried about it. A few weeks later I receive two statements from Dr. Danielson's office with an outstanding balance of $283.20. I call the next morning to clear up the confusion with the bills being sent to me. I was blown away with the unprofessional manner in which I was now being treated. I was hung up on twice and continued to call the office in need of an answer. I was then transferred to a dental assistant because the office manager had now become busy but since she handles all of the finances at that office I needed to speak to her. She let me know what she gave me was only an estimate after she contacted my insurance. Mind you, I was never told this was only an estimate. Refusing to let this issue go unresolved I contact my insurance only to find out that Dr. Danielson's office never did. The out of pocket expense was a deliberate misrepresentation because my insurance was never contacted. I feel I was given a "reasonable price" to secure me as a patient then let me deal with the aftermath. This was the worst experience I have ever had. I would have loved to sing their praises but unfortunately I cannot. read more

Danielson Gerald , DDS - The truth comes out. The office manager nor any one else ever called my insurance to verify my out of pocket expenses. Beware - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Fresno, California

I was referred to Dr. Danielson (by my awesome dentist - Zaruhi Shahbazyan, D.D.S.) for a possible root canal my general dentist thought needed a specialist. Dr. Danielson's office staff was extremely nice and Dr. Danielson himself is extremely kind and caring. Thankfully, I don't need a root canal at this time, but I'm grateful to know Dr. Danielson is available should I need one in the future. I highly recommend Dr. Danielson for any endodontic needs. read more

I love this office! Dr. Danielson has forever changed my perception of having a root canal. My experience was awesome. Dr D is kind, patient, calming and professional. He answered all of my questions and put me at ease. His numbing procedure was incredible, I felt NO PAIN. The whole procedure, in fact, was painless. I was really nervous at first, but I could have literally fallen asleep in his chair! If you need a root canal, go here! I will never go anywhere else! read more

Absolutely the best experience ever. Was referred for a very painful abscess and Dr Danielson and his staff took care of it quickly and to my disbelief.... painlessly! read more

My mother went to Dr. Danielson for dental work. She was very nervous and his assistant Jaime, said that Dr.Danielson was very kind, compassionate & gentle, which was very true. She would recommend them to anybody. My mother has gone to several dentists (these ones do not care how you are feeling) & she was very impressed on how they treated her. May God bless them for having empathy & being very professional. They really calmed mom down & put her at ease....I give them 5 stars! read more

Dr. Danielson and his office were great. I'm originally from Louisiana, so having procedures done by an Endodontist I had no affiliation with, or didn't know anything about was a bit nerve wrecking at first. I was referred to Dr. Danielson by Affinity Dental. Turns out this guy is one of the best in the area. Ended up having a root canal done. As much as people like to heighten the dramatization about a root canal, these guys really do put you at ease and make you comfortable. Your safety and well being is their priority. They were nice, friendly, and I would definitely recommend them to you. I can be a hard critic when it comes to the medical field, but these guys are definitely the best of the best. read more

I was in the Fresno area (I am from WA state) for work and was having severe tooth pain for 3 weeks ever since I got my crown seated. After a sleepless night, I reluctantly decided to look for a dentist on yelp because the pain was gettting intolerable. One can imagine the uneasyness of choosing a dentist while away from home without a good recommendation. I'm glad I found Dr. Danielson. He performed a root canal on me. My visit was very comfortable. He was knowledgeable and made sure I was not in any pain during my root canal. It was actually relaxing being in the chair knowing I was being properly taken care of. I feel immediately better after my visit and my pain is down to a minimum while I am healing. I highly recommend this dentist!! read more

I had a really bad experience with a root canal done in China, and needed to have a do-over. I went to Dr. Danielson and was so impressed with him and his staff. The office was immaculate and well-appointed, providing a calm space in which to wait. (one can get quite nervous when waiting for a root canal!) It was as serene as possible, though, and I was cordially welcomed and ushered into the treatment room. They provided a warm blanket for me, as the combination of my nerves and the rainy day caused me to feel quite chilled. The assistant is extremely knowledgable and was able to answer many questions before and following the appointment. Dr. Danielson has a confident approach to his work, and took the time needed to prepare my mouth, which included giving me enough medicine so that I was completely numb. On the first visit, he gave me additional novocaine and was completely understanding about my need for it. He also checked periodically during the procedure, to make sure I was not feeling any discomfort at all. I really appreciated this care and attention to detail. I highly recommend Dr. Danielson and his kind, competent office staff to anyone requiring root canals and/or other dental procedures. The music playing on the sound system was great, as well ~ a little Frank Sinatra and some oldies helped me to relax. Nobody wants to go to an endodontist, but if you need to, this office is as good as it's going to get! read more

I initially called Dr. Danielson's office when I was crying in pain from a CEREC crown that another dentist had done for me and they couldn't get an endo consultation for another week. His receptionist was very patient and understanding and was able to get me in the next day for a consult. Dr. Danielson was incredibly personable and explained that I may not need the root canal procedure, and to wait a while longer to see if it will settle, but that I certainly could come back if it got worse. Well, sadly for me I developed hot sensitivity, so there went that plan... In any case, I was able to quickly get an appointment to have the treatment done. Dr. Danielson and his staff both made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. The whole procedure was completely painless - far less so than the crown installation was - and if i had the least bit of sensitivity he dealt with it immediately. I really hope I don't need to see him again (as a patient), but if I do, I know I'll be in the best hands. read more

I was recently referred to Dr. Danielson by my (relatively new) dentist for a "reverse root canal." I was anxious, but on the initial consultation, his assistant and he were so professional, gentle, and good at analysis, that I was certain I was in the right place. The procedure involved cutting the gum and shearing off the ends of the tooth in order to get at an old abscess. The actual work took nearly an hour, and after two levels of stitches were completed, I had a new anxiety: pain. Dr. Danielson offered a couple of suggestions, including a narcotic if I thought I needed it. I ended up opting for Advil, and surprisingly, needed only two of those! His work is flawless, and I find myself wishing he could do all of my dental work. I highly recommend him. read more

Excellent Endodontist, very professional staff. His assistant Jaime was very bright, professional and helpful. Dr. Danielson scheduled me in after his office closed because I needed a root canal right away. He stayed until almost 7 pm and his diagnosis was right on. read more
