Dan C. Oana's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Oana is great. He's concise and to the point while ensuring your child is comfortable and well taken care of. We've been seeing Dr. Oana for over a year, and we are very happy with him and his care team.

We love Dr Oana because he doesn’t hand out antibiotics like tictacs: so if your into being conservative with medicine and diet-focused, Dr Oana is the pediatrician for you.

Worst experience at summit health. They do not care about you, your kids or your family. They move through appointments like you are products on an assembly line. They do excessive testing and you can never get through to talk to a nurse or doctor. Avoid summit health at all cost!

He treats your child like they are his own. Ordered a bunch of tests to rule out anything dangerous and told us decisions he would make if he was in our shoes. Wonderful bedside manner which is so important when your child is unwell.

Dr. Daniel Oana has been our pediatrician for a little more than two years. When We got to him, I was a first time mother, full of insecurities and fears. He has always been incredibly professional, validating and respecting our opinions as parents. He does what is necessary for his patients to ensure they are healthy. I have the outmost respect for him as pediatrician and professional. Will continue to bring my daughter to this group as long as he is there.

Feeling very disappointed frustrated and helpless... I have three children and keep their schedules very well organized but it’s life and mash ups happen and when it happens Summit Medical group is not able to accommodate to be helpful for my family.. Had appointment scheduled to bring my three children in and school messed up by not releasing my one child early as I requested... Well, I called Summit medical group to tell them I am running 10 minutes late and was told that they wouldn’t be able to accommodate me because they are very busy. I asked them to reschedule the appointment politely and started explaining the reason we are late and that i prefer to reschedule because I would be coming in with three children ages 1 to 7 years old. To this receptionist told me to hold on because I’m being rude and put me on hold... Upsetting to tears, I lost the appointment, was told I’m rude, and my children are unattended... Any recommendation for a pediatrician who would be able to accommodate caring for my children?

Beware of misleading information and poor judgment. My daughter had a cold and our usual doctor was not in the office so we were assigned a visit with Dr. Oana. Overall, it was a fairly routine visit until the end. As we were nearly finished, he offhandedly asked if I wanted to do a nose swab to see if she had RSV or another respiratory virus. He presented it as if the test is routine and he was checking to see if I wanted to put my daughter through the discomfort of a swab. She was in an ok mood, so I agreed. That was the extent of discussion about the test. He called the next day to give me the results - which showed that she tested positive for RSV and another respiratory virus. He said there was nothing to do other than to keep her hydrated and rested (why do the test if it ultimately didn't matter for treatment?). A few weeks later, I got an email notice that a bill was due and opened it to see that we were being charged over $500 for the tests. I called billing and was told that the doctor doesn't know pricing and it didn't matter because everyone has different insurance. I pushed arguing that if the doctor is going to recommend a test, they should have a ballpark understanding of the cost implications and communicate those to the patient or their guardian beforehand. That belief was further reinforced when I had a visit with our usual physician at the same practice and that doctor said that they would always talk through the cost implications for that battery of tests because they tend to be "expensive." Regardless of whether or not Dr. Oana knew the general costs of the test (which he should know or be willing to look up), the results of the test didn't ultimately matter - his suggestion was simply to keep her hydrated and rested. I didn't need to pay $500 to tell me if she had something or not if it wasn't going to change the treatment outcome. It shows poor judgment and decision making skills. Perhaps a dated approach to pediatric medicine.

I was charged over $500 for an unnecessary test. When I tried to fight the charge, billing told me that the doctors don’t know costs of tests. This is false – he should absolutely have a ballpark understanding of the tests he is recommending or do the work to look into cost implications. I didn’t question it because he presented the test as routine (meaning inexpensive). Ultimately, the test wasn’t useful – my daughter came back positive for RSV, but Dr. Oana just told me to keep her hydrated.
