Patient Testimonials
My family has been fortunate to have Dr. Dan as trusted source of guidance for 20 years. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. Never condescending or quick to diagnose. He takes the time to truly listen and explain, making complex medical concerns easy to understand. His dedication and trustworthiness are unmatched, and we are deeply grateful for his support and expertise!
– Amy Hoffman
Dr. Mooney was a trusted physician to my children in the infant and toddler stages of their life. Not only was he there for our family then, but he also helped medically review each of their adoption files.
He is a gentle, thorough, knowledgeable and balanced physician that parents can place their confidence in.
– Michael Lewis
Dr. Mooney is always patient, understanding and awesome with our kids. Answers our questions and takes the time to explain the plan.
– Beverly Bertolini
Dr. Mooney is patient, happy to answer all of our questions, and is great with our kids. It’s so rare that a great doctor is accepting new patients!
– Brian B.
Dr. Mooney is amazing! He has made himself available for early morning calls, and after hours visits when we’ve needed something for our daughter. He offers his opinions about things without being pushy and makes sure you have all of the information to make your own mind up about what works best for your family. We are so happy to have him as our pediatrician!
– Sydney Covert
We’ve been looking for a genuine pediatrician who cares about the kids and gets to know them. I am so glad we found this practice, they care about parent concerns and are conservative about treatments. As a mom who is more natural I really appreciate their willingness to listen to my preferences and what I’m comfortable with.
– Christina Freese
We absolutely love Dr. Mooney & his staff. He listens to all our needs and concerns. We also love how he is open to waiting to vaccinate our son when we think we’re ready. As a first time mother it was great to find him as our first pediatrician!
– Jillian Duncan
Dr. Mooney is an incredible, conservative, least invasive pediatrician that took many reviews and appointments to find that is perfect for our family. Misty is very friendly and responds quickly and schedules asap! We couldn’t have picked a better doctor for our daughter!
