I was in pain when I called the office. I got in asap, After my X-Ray Danielle talked to me about my pain problems after surgery, stating that I had arthritis and how it makes you feel, we talked about medication for arthritis pain and she sent me home with a prescription that is helping me at this time and physical therapy at home to strengthen my neck. I wanted to tell her how she helped me. She has truly helped me.

Mrs Teegarden this Steven Ellis DOB 01/09/1959 I am scheduled for post surgery follow up with Dr. Hawasli tomorrow February 23, 2026 11:00-11:15. I received reminder texts and emails and completed the pre appointment process. The reason for this message to you is in my hopes that you may contact the Radiology Department to confirm my appointment with them for tomorrow February 23, 2026 10:00-1015 am. For Post Surgery X-rays. I received no reminder texts or emails from Radiology. And my concern is that my appointment with Radiology is or was changed or removed. And would affect the results of my Post Surgery appointment with Dr. Hawasli. I called the main Hospital number. Was transferred to Radiology. Their voicemail greeting indicated they are closed on the weekend. I left voicemail but am concerned that such short notice. My voicemail for confirmation of my appointment might be delivered too late. So am asking for your efforts to confirm my appointment with Radiology to please positively confirm my appointment with Radiology. Thank You

I went into the meeting with Danielle confused and concerned about my condition, doctor recommendations, treatments and outcomes. Danielle listened to all of my fears and completely explained everything I brought up. She is amazing and helped me make my decision regarding treatment. A huge Thank You for her patience.

Danielle was very through and very open with what my next steps would be and she set me up on a plan that I think will work for me.

My visit with Danielle was amazing! She talked me through my situation, and gave me advice on what to do. She talked to me in “my language “ so that I completely understand what is going on. Thanks Danielle!!!

Danielle is such an essential part of Dr. Hawasli’s team. She is very knowledgeable and will research to get answers she doesn’t know. She has a heart of gold and really treats her patients with care. I feel so confident in my care with her. I have been seen many times by her and she has always provided a positive experience. She always responds quickly to messages left and will call you back promptly. Great care! She’s a gem!

She was professional, yet friendly, seemed very knowlegable about my problems, made suggestions about further treatments, all of which I agreed with, and made arrangements to follow up on. I am very glad I met with her.

Danielle Teegarden is a great member of the Meritas Health Neurosurgery Team. I had reoccurring leg pain following my Laminectomy and received an appointment with Danielle. I was given great care and compassionate treatment. Danielle explained clearly and concisely exactly what was causing my pain and offered me treatment options while explaining her recommendations. Danielle really lives up to her goal of providing compassionate and thoughtful care.
