Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is a threat to your health if anything.
Doctor Daniel Trotter is hands down the worst drs I have ever worked with. Being under his care is a threat to your health. I would NEVER recommend him to anyone, he should have had license taken away by now. Not only did he answer his personal cell phone during my 1st appointment with him, he completely disregarded all of my health concerns all the while laughing in my face. Never once did he follow up either. absolutely NOTHING was funny about my situation. He had me crying and in tears nearly the whole last half of the apt. I asked him what was so funny n he just kept laughing like it was normal He proceeded to tell me that he isn’t even supposed to be in clinic this late, like I was just there wasting his precious time. I don’t miss work and take a pay cut to come and waste his time. I was there for HELP. Because of him I hate drs visits n am drenched in anxiety every time I see a new Dr, thinking they’re gonna treat me the way he did. I have so much more to say bit no more space.

not friendly, very uneducated
Tried prescribing me a medication I was already taking. Denied I was diagnosed with something that HE diagnosed me with, showed up in FLIP FLOPS to remove a mass from my neck, not even the half of it but I want to stay semi-anonymous. I could have sued this man. SSM health has some of the rudest nurses and horrible doctors I have ever experienced in my life. Stay away from SSM or St. Marys if you can.

This is one of the worst dr.s ever. Didn't know what he was doing. No empathy. Seems more interested in himself. Forgot to mention that I had a huge fibroid on the back of my uterus, crushing my colon. Would of been good to know a year ago.

Dr. Trotter's demeanor was dismissive. He behaved as though he would rather be anywhere else. He acted as though he does not like women. He interacted well with my husband, ignoring me and I was the patient.
