Incredible amount of time spent with me answering questions, getting to know me and my goals. Well thought out plan laid out in detail looking at my pictures and many examples of previous work. Felt extremely comfortable with the level of knowledge, experience and expertise of Dr. O’Daniel and his staff.
Wonderful staff, exceptional pre and post op care, every aspect handled smoothly, great surgical facility, couldn’t have been better!
I can’t say enough good things about O’Daniel Studios. I’ve been seeing Brooke for years and I would trust her to inject my Dysport blindfolded before I’d trust most people with both eyes open. She really understands facial anatomy and always delivers perfect, natural results. Maggie is also amazing! I highly recommend them!
The doctor and all the staff was very knowledgeable and treated me extremely well
Every part of my experience with Dr. O’Daniel and his team has been total excellence from the time I walked in the building till I leave; each time it never changes. Dr. O’Daniel the van Gogh, of a plastic surgeon and his staff is professional yet warm and friendly. Always feel completely at ease with each procedure. With each procedure, I am completely prepared by the by the staff and no question is unimportant. Pre-surgery and post surgery. I can not express my gratitude and complete over the moon satisfaction. In my book, there’s no one that could come near Dr. O’Daniel and his ability gifts and talents to transform his clients.
My initial contact was with his Patient Care Coordinator Liz. She was friendly, professional and answered every question that I had. She made the process easy and stress free. My consultation with Dr. O’Daniel was thorough and I knew that I was in the hands of one of the most skilled and respected surgeons. His team of nurses are terrific as well. They answer any question or concern with clarity and make sure you’re always comfortable.
I was nervous about the consultation but Dr. O’Daniel and staff made me feel comfortable. Thank you.
Everything has been very organized and questions answered before they were asked.
Outstanding explanation of the procedure and what to expect during and post op.
Dr O’Daniel and Liz are very professional !! Also extremely easy to talk with and explain what to expect. I have already told 2 of my best friends about them.
Dr. O’Daniel is amazing. I instantly knew that he understood what I am looking for and answered all questions precisely. Liz Guthermuth has been very supportive with organizing everything. So far it has been an outstanding experience.
After undergoing multiple surgeries that did not produce satisfactory results, I had almost given up hope of finding a cosmetic surgeon who could clearly explain why my previous procedures had failed. Dr. O’Daniel is the only physician who took the time to carefully evaluate my situation and explain, in a clear, thorough, and professional manner, the reasons my prior surgeries were unsuccessful. Dr. O’Daniel’s approach is thoughtful, comprehensive, and distinctly different from that of the other surgeons I consulted. His knowledge, experience, and willingness to educate his patients have given me confidence in his recommendations. I trust his expertise and feel that I am finally in the hands of a surgeon who understands both the technical and aesthetic aspects of my case.
I received the most excellent care from consult to follow up care. Everything was perfect.
I was lead to Dr. O’Daniel by Melinda Farina. I felt the staff coordination and the meeting via zoom went well and smoothly. Scheduling was easy. The pre op visit was so reassuring and put me at ease. I knew I was in the best hands. The surgery center and staff were top notch as was the after care by the doctor and his staff.
I liked my visit with Dr O’Daniel, But Liz was wonderful. She gave me time to make up my mind. She was patience, but not pushy. She let me make up my mind and gave me the weekend for me to make up my mind. Thank you Liz.
Fabulous facial with Alexis. Best ever !!!
A couple of years ago, I met a beautiful woman from my hometown at a Christmas party who was surprised I didn’t know about Dr. O’Daniel and his world-renowned expertise. She told me, without hesitation, that if I ever considered facial treatments, he was the only person she and her family would trust. That unsolicited conversation stayed with me, and as I approached 60, I began doing some research. To my surprise, other beautiful and vibrant people—one of them who is 80—also highly recommended Dr. O’Daniel. My first visit was for a hydrofacial and dermaplaning, followed by a consultation for a lower blepharoplasty. Everything about my skincare appointment was perfect. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive to my unique needs. Liz, in particular, took the time to call me personally and explain the blepharoplasty process in detail. She answered all my questions patiently and thoroughly, helping me feel completely informed and at ease. Though a stranger Liz felt like a friend–warm, approachable and sincerely invested in my comfort and understanding. The exceptional attention and expertise I experienced gave me complete confidence in both the care and the treatment I received.
Explicit for the procedure with photos of my face when younger and what will be done in the surgery.
My interactions with all the staff were wonderful. Dr. O’Daniel was very patient with all my questions and made me feel very comfortable with the upcoming procedure.
Dr. O’Daniel is not only extremely knowledgeable about his craft but super professional and personable as well. Every single associate I encountered from the front desk gals, Susan and Liz were all very helpful and friendly. Promptly responded with return phone calls and were so helpful and patient with all my stupid question’s. You’ll wanna be best friends with Liz! You can feel the positive vibe as soon as you step in the office. Leave all your reservations and fears behind, you’ll feel 100% comfortable I can assure you.
Dr O’Daniels and his staff are just excellent in every way. I especially appreciate his thorough explanations, patience, and friendly manner. He performed a facelift on my wife a year ago and she loves the results… and really appreciated his pre and post-op care
Very personal and focused discussion. I felt I was being heard and my questions were answered.
As cousins who are the exact same age — one local and one out-of-state — we decided to embark on our facial rejuvenation journeys together. After doing our research along with multiple consultations in several different states, choosing Dr. O’Daniel was the best decision we could have made. We both underwent deep plane face and neck lifts, and the results and shared experiences have truly exceeded our very high expectations. Dr. O’Daniel’s skill, artistry, and meticulous attention to detail gave both of us a refreshed, natural appearance. With the goal of returning us to our God-given more youthful faces, he carefully studied photos we provided from previous decades to plan his surgical sculpting strategy. Throughout the process, we both felt as though he cared as much about our outcome as we did. We are both thrilled with our results and deeply grateful to Dr. O’Daniel for helping us look and feel our absolute best. The entire O’Daniel Plastic Surgery Studio Team provided exceptional care, professionalism, and warmth, making the experience seamless and reassuring. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone — local or out-of-state — seeking outstanding natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
The whole experience was 5-star. The clinicians were excellent, Dr. O’Daniel was exceptional and the results were fabulous.
Love this office and the staff! I’ve hopped around plastic surgery offices throughout the years and I ALWAYS end up back and ODaniel – my injections are always 10/10, the staff friendliness, knowledge and professionalism is amazing. I’ve grown to think of them as friends – come to think of it writing all of this makes me want to make another appointment. Just don’t tell my husband 😉
I didn’t know what to expect going in, but I was blown away. Dr. O’Daniel took much more time with me than I had anticipated, and I truly appreciated that. He explained everything in great detail, and his experience was immediately evident. I especially loved that he spoke about rejuvenating my face—not “fixing” or “redoing” it. His confidence really sold me and put me completely at ease. I was also so impressed by how he could speak like a technician in one breath and an artist in the next. He has a vision unlike any other surgeon I’ve spoken with. And learning that he actually trains many of the Insta-famous surgeons I follow? That was the cherry on top.
I was immediately pleased upon walking in to a beautiful ambiance and friendly staff. Dr. O’Daniel was thorough, diligent, and knowledgeable. He and his team made me feel comfortable. I canceled my other consults and went with him!
I am 3 months out from my face lift and the swelling has subsided. The feeling is coming back in my ears and jaw. I especially love my bagless under eyes! The look is very natural.
I look refreshed without looking different. The entire staff provided excellent care and concern for me throughout the entire experience.
Very professional, answered all my questions and eliminated any worries I have.
A very informative consult. Recommended procedures were thoroughly explained and the nurse and physician spent alot of time with me.
Very specific to my needs. Informative honest critique. Tailored to my needs. Courteous, took time, answered all questions, showed examples.
I was satisfied with the consultation both the surgeon and his assistant were very patient with all my questions and spent quite a bit of time answering them, so I didn’t feel rushed
Dr. O’Daniel does a very thorough consultation. I feel well equipped to make the right decisions for future enhancements. He has a wonderful disposition and it was very easy to talk with him and ask questions. At no time did I feel rushed and I was able to get all of my concerns addressed. I was referred to him by a leading beauty broker, and after my consultation I know why he came so highly recommended.
Dr. O’Daniel is always a perfectionist, and I have had repeated success with his procedures.
My satisfaction has a lot to do with my confidence in Dr. O’Daniel’s expertise especially during the early post- op days/ weeks. I just knew that results will be good!
Consult was very thorough. There were several examples of surgeries like I was interested in. was very impressed with the knowledge of everyone.
Dr O’Daniel’s reputation is so good I knew I was in great hands. During the pre-op appointment I was given a packet with answers to questions I hadn’t even thought of yet. Very thorough!
The nurse that provided my treatment was phenomenal! I am so pleased with the results!
Dr O’Daniel is very skilled and his talents are evident when looking at the results of my facelift +. He assured a natural yet rejuvenated look, and I’m thrilled to see that is what I received. The pre-op and post-op care from Dr O’Daniel and his staff was excellent. I was encouraged to call anytime with even the smallest questions or concerns, which was very comforting.
Dr. O’Daniel is amazing!! Has a wonderful bedside manner and is truly gifted.
Spectacular treatment by Dr. O’Daniel…he is amazing. And same for his staff. Everyone kind, caring and knowledgeable.
Dr O’Daniel and his team are fantastic and extremely professional. I was very well taken care of from start to finish. They talked me through the procedure and Dr O’Daniel worked with me to make sure that I would get what I wanted. My surgery ended up being more intrusive than we first thought but he still made sure it turned out great. I recommend him to anyone looking for a great plastic surgeon.
Dr. O’Daniel took the time to review pics current and past and my immeduate presence in the office. He covered precisely his recommendations and why. He was very honest about what he saw and what he recommended. No pressure, full estimation, very thoughtful. I have a second consultation coming up to discuss further since I’ve had time to consider. Overall, excellent, thoughtful and personable.
It was scarey at first. But with time I feel I look like my younger self! I appreciate the results very mich
The staff and Dr. O’Danniel were exceptionally professional and courteous during my consultation, which made my decision to proceed with the procedure straightforward and comfortable.
My eleven year old son was very self conscious about the appearance of his ears, especially his right ear which definitely “protroded” . He wore his hair long enough to cover up his embarrassment. After his surgery he cut his hair much shorter and is very proud of his new appearance. His self confidence has risen immensely.
I enjoy coming in to the studio. Brook does a fantastic job with disport. The staff is always so helpful ensuring that I get the most affordable options available because I am sensitive to cost. I never feel like I am trying to be upsold. highly recommend.
Dr. O’Daniel spent a good amount of time explaining the procedure and how everything would change
Dr. O’Daniel’s expertise and presentation of the information. I felt comfortable with him and his staff.
Dr. O’Daniel took as much time as needed to make sure all of my questions were answered. The photos he presented of the aging progression of my face were very helpful in understanding what needs to be corrected.
Mandy is wonderful. She explains all that she will be doing. The office staff are always so friendly.
Dr O’Daniel is the best-procedure, prep, and recovery all went very well. Results were great, and Dr. O’Daniel answered all of my questions. Sonya was my nurse. She is top notch-so caring and patient checking in on me frequently during the healing process! So happy with the lift and youthful appearance.
Dr. Gerald O’Daniel does my fillers! I am always happy with him doing this!
Dr O’Daniel is an artist. He is excellent at his craft, patient, and thoughtful. His staff are much like him. We drive 450 miles RT to see him twice a year and have for years. He is a pro! Good guy, too.
Dr O’Daniel can do no wrong! I LOVE him! Every procedure is done to perfection. I’ve always discussed what I wanted and he has recommended best way to proceed. Natural beauty is my objective and he delivers.
Absolutely amazing Hydrafacial experience! The staff was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel so comfortable from start to finish. My skin is glowing, refreshed, and looks years younger. I couldn’t be happier with the results—highly recommend!
The process leading up to the virtual appointment was seamless. Liz is spectacular. Dr. O’Daniel was kind, thorough and professional.
I appreciated all the time Dr. O’Daniel spent educating me about the specifics of the facelift and how he will individulaize my treatment based on my photos of me when I was younger.
Dr. O’ Daniel explained the procedure in perfect detail and in it clearly understandable way including very reasonable expectations for postoperative recovery.
Dr. O’Daniel is absolutely amazing! I am thrilled with the results of my procedure! Now my face looks fresh and natural! The O’Daniel staff is always kind and supportive. They always let me know what to expect, which is so helpful as I have never before been a patient of plastic surgery. I would never consider any other plastic surgeon, only Dr. O’Daniel.

Dr. O’Daniel was very thorough, professional and friendly during the consultation. He took considerable time explaining his expertise and made me very much at ease.
I researched various doctors throughout the United States in an attempt to find the Doctor with the right experience as it pertains to the Deep Plane Facelift. It was quite a journey that included educating myself about the proceedure, and asking the right questions. I was blessed to find out about Dr. O’Daniel from an international collegue. This is the Doctor who teaches other Doctors about the Deep Plane techniques. I also found out about his extensive publications and research into the field, and all of these factors made my decision easy. I also felt very comfortable throughtout our various consultations. The mere fact that he includes the Brow Lift procedure in all of his Deep Plane Facelifts, is indicative that this Doctor will spare no expense in making his patients look 100% awesome. I experienced a hematoma event about 2 weeks post-op, and this Doctor stopped everything he was doing, and literally drove over 1 hour to the hospital to meet me and take care of me. That was the most impressive thing anyone has ever done for me, and I appreciated it.
Got rid of my turkey neck and have numerous positive comments from friends and relatives that I look 10-15 years younger.
My experience with the O’Daniel group has been excellent. All of my interactions with Dr. O’Daniel and his staff have been professional and positive. I felt like all my questions and concerns were addressed in a timely manner throughout the entire process, from consultation, surgery and at each follow up. I couldn’t be happier with the results!
Dr. O’Daniel was very likable and knowledgeable. Hope to have a successful surgery Aug. 16. His staff was also very accommodating.. It was a very pleasant experience.
What can I even say…Dr. O’Daniel is a very professional doctor, but even more than that, he is a true artist! I have trusted him with a bleph, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and lastly a facelift. When I list all of those things you might think that is a lot, and I could look like I’ve had too much done. But, I promise you…I look natural, normal…beautiful. Dr. O’Daniel is the best IN THE WORLD! I trust him. He is a genius!
From the start, everyone was very informative and helpful. I had so many questions and Liz and Sharon heard from me a lot preop! All procedures were explained completely before my surgery day and the day of surgery. Dr Odaniel was very positive and encouraging and my results are just what he said they would be…phenomenal!
I appreciate Mandy for her amazing work. Her commitment to client care and skin health is truly commendable. I always feel refreshed and appreciate her recommendations on my skincare regimen. All the staff at Dr. O’Daniel’s office are great!

Dr O’Daniel gave me his honest opinion. He didn’t try to sell me on anything but let his years of experience pave the path.
Beautiful facility, very warm and welcoming staff. I find the nurse injectors are very professional yet so friendly. They listen well and personalize each visit. Dr. O’Daniel is the best and I wouldn’t trust anyone else.
Dr. O’Daniel took his time meeting with me and explained how the procedure would be performed. This was my second meeting, so I felt less worried about the surgery after all my questions were answered.
I am always highly satisfied The staff are always so accommodating and kind and I feel right at home when I walk in the door
My surgeon explained his style of neck lift clearly. His staff is amazing: professional, experienced and kind. The current results are good and several months from now I anticipate seeing the goals my surgeon and I anticipate being reached.
Everyone at front desk is wonderful. Love Brooke, Alexa, and Maggie! Definitely worth your visit. Dr O’Daniel great too 🙂
It gave me the refreshed look I wanted without an extreme change in my appearance.

Office staff and Dr O’Daniel were excellent! Spent plenty of time answering questions and explaining procedure.
Dr. O’Daniel takes time to help his patients make the best decisions. He explained various options to me and reviewed pictures that detailed what my recovery would look and feel like. I was originally concerned about the swelling in my lips but as he indicated the swelling went down and I am very happy with the outcome.
Dr. O’Daniel connects well with his patient. He well knows my body, lifestyle, age related changes and guides me accordingly regarding what I can do to feel better about myself. I would not let any other doctor else treat me with my aesthetic facial treatment. He and his staff are the BEST in our city.
Dr ODaniel and his staff treated me with kindness and understanding over many years before I made the decision to move forward with my procedure. The actual procedure was pain free and the recovery was easier than expected. Everything was explained and there were no surprises.
