About Me

Biography

My interests outside of work include spending time with my husband and young son, camping, playing sand volleyball and jogging. I also enjoy gardening and spending time outside.

Care Philosophy

I strive to help build a trusting relationship with my patients by actively listening to concerns, answering questions and working together to achieve better health outcomes. I do this by taking time to explain their plan of care, treatment options, what the expected outcome should be and what to do if this is not met.

Area of Interest

My interests are in women's health, diabetes education, health promotion and preventive medicine across a person's lifespan.

Jennifer has always been knowledgeable about anything I have seen her about. I feel like my issues are addressed. I would recommend her to others.

02/27/2025

Seeing Jennifer was ok; however the follow-up was horrible. I had questions about my illness and called twice so far during the past 24 hours with no one calling me back. The paper work that she gave me talked about antiviral medicine which she did not prescribe. I had questions about it being prescribed. If she’s too busy or out of the office, then they can check with someone else. Or at least call me back.

02/24/2025

The was the most screwed up appointment I have ever had with a health professional. She did not listen.

02/22/2025

My deepest thanks to Mrs. McDaniel for providing me with excellent care and for truly listening to my health concerns. I have been coming to this facility for over 30 years, and because of Mrs. McDaniel’s dedication to her patients’ needs, I will continue to do so. She prescribed the necessary medications to help me and ordered the necessary tests to find answers to my symptoms. I can’t thank you enough for your compassion and for providing me with the best possible care.

Jennifer went over my test results from hospital visit explained somethings I didn't understand. I feel very comfortable asking questions

Jennifer was magnificent! She is definitely personable and professional and has much experience and expertise in her role as a Physician. I personally appreciate her caring spirit toward her patients. I definitely would recommend others to her. Even after my visit, she followed up the same day to check on how I was doing and offered some suggestions regarding some health concerns. I really appreciated that.

Wasn't sure what was causing stomach pain and Jennifer McDaniel APRN has requested CT and bloodwork and a urinalysis to be done and gave me literature on stomach issues.

02/13/2024

Jennifer McDaniel is professional, thorugh, good listener & caring. Asks probing questions & takes time for questions. I did have issue with the Lab department. I was told I had 2 blood test, Lab department said they had orders for 1 test & had no interest in following up to find out if I was right. Said they were too busy

02/08/2024

Jennifer is very knowledgeable and on top of my concerns. I was very pleased with my appointment spent with her.

02/05/2024

Very professional and caring, I would give her 10 stars if I could.

01/23/2024

Jennifer is very good to work with and has been much easier to get an appointment with than my primary physician Dr Crim. Unfortunately every time I try to meet with Dr Crim he is always about 3 weeks out before you can meet with him. That works fine for a physical but when you have a more urgent need it is a little disappointing.

01/16/2024

Very nice and caring person also well informed Ty

01/12/2024

Jennifer was a breath of fresh air after losing my previous nurse Rebecca Erich. She did not rush me through my appointment and got me on the correct medication to help me feel better. Thank you so much for your care.

07/17/2023

Always a pleasure to see Jennifer. Excellent patient care.

07/04/2023

I was very impressed with the level of care I received recently from Jennifer McDaniel, APRN. I needed to see a doctor quickly last week but my PCD was booked solid. They recommended I see Jennifer McDaniel and I am so thankful they did. She listened carefully to my problem. She then ordered some tests and followed up on those all in the time I was in the office. She shared a few harsh facts with me that I needed to hear if I want to feel better. And I do. So I need to follow her advice and I am. I will continue to do so. When I need to see a doctor in the future, I'm going to ask for Jennifer McDaniel, APRN.

06/19/2023

Excellent

06/07/2023

I was able to see the nurse practitioner within 24 hours from calling the office. All professionals I interacted with were polite and knowledgeable. Jennifer McDaniel was attentive; she listened to me and researched my medical history before making a plan to treat me.

05/24/2023

Jennifer was great. She took extra time with me, given my unexplained condition, and made me feel I was in good hands.

05/23/2023

Very professional and lots of help

05/18/2023

Very attentive and thorough.

05/09/2023

I would give her zero stars but that’s not an option. Condescending. Humiliated me in Front of her office staff and other patients that were there waiting for lab work.

05/08/2023

She was nice and helpful. I really appreciate that she took time and effort into my visit. The nurses were nice too. I would definitely recommend her.

04/26/2023

Saw Nurse Practitioner McDaniel for first time yesterday, was very impressed with how she explained diagnosis, treatment, explained X-Ray and answered my questions. A+

04/19/2023

She is a very caring person. She listens to everything you have to say. She's very careful and response quickly and makes sure that you understand everything that she's done as well as the tests she's taken before you leave and she always calls you with the results.

02/24/2023

Jennifer is always thorough and takes her time to make sure I have no questions and understand my treatment.

02/10/2023

I called to make an appointment for a rash I had on my face and arms. The front desk staff was able to get me a same day appointment with Jennifer McDaniel. This was my first time seeing her. I did the online check in through the patient portal and it was very easy and convenient. Jennifer's nurse Hailee was very sweet and kind and went over all my information with me and noted my current situation in my file. She took the time to listen to my concerns and assured me that Jennifer would be in the room shortly. My wait time was short before she arrived in the room. She was very professional and took the time to listen and examine me. She gave me a diagnosis of Contact Dermatitis caused by posion sumac after I had done some yard work. She was concerned about my comfort. She had her nurse give me a shot of Prednisone in office. The nurse was very gentle and I didn't actually even feel her give me the shot. Jennifer then put in order to my pharmacy for a 30 day dose of oral Prednisone. She told me that if the rash spread closer to my eyes I needed to see an eye doctor. She gave me instructions for homecare. I was very pleased with my visit and I would see her again.

02/01/2023

Jennifer was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Good experience.

01/19/2023

It was excellent service. I would recommend Jennifer McDaniel to my friends and other individuals to see her. I felt comfortable and at ease plus she explains to you the procedures of what she is about to do. Amazing Jennifer and you are able to talk freely about what may be bothering you. I usually am very uncomfortable when I see a doctor but I felt just fine. Hats off to Jennifer McDaniels. Excellent Sevice and if I could I would give her ten **********.

01/16/2023

I've seen Jennifer twice in past 5 months both being kind of urgent and both times she's an angel and savior for my needs with true compassion both times leaving with answers to my issues or test to figure.

Jennifer is a wonderful APRN.She listens and cares.I feel much better since I started seeing her.I just love her.

02/15/2021

Very professional and knowledgeable. Amazing bedside manor. Wod highly recommend.

02/21/2019

Jennifer took the time to go over all of my health questions, I did not feel rushed and came out of the appointment actually feeling good about myself. I was scheduled for a number of tests I had not followed up on, and this was mainly because she did not judge me, just kind of "suggested" we might want to get these scheduled. I cannot say enough good things about this provider.
