He became one of only 18 Board Certified Orthopaedic Specialists in the State of Georgia in 2007.
Danny’s current clinical focus is in outpatient orthopaedics. In particular, common sports injuries, complicated spine injuries and vestibular rehabilitation. His bilingual abilities make him an effectual communicator in both English and Spanish.

He has been a regular presenter at Georgia’s Annual Worker’s Compensation Conference. His topics have included Preventing the Failed Back Patient and Efficient Management of the Injured Worker. Danny also serves on the Georgia Worker’s Compensation Medical Steering Committee.
Commitment to his profession and dedication to his patients have led Danny to follow his dream of starting his own outpatient physical therapy clinic. His current skill-set distinguishes him in his field.
In his personal time, Danny enjoys spending time with his wife, following college and professional sports, getting together with friends, and an occasional round of golf.
