What Patients Are Saying*

My son tore hi shamstring pretty severely. Being a high level athlete we wanted him to heal 100% as quickly as possible. We opted for stem cell therapy and PRP injections. They outcomewas like magic. Recovery time almost to the day Dr Southern predicted and literally 6-8 months faster than just letting nature take its course. Would highly recommend to anyone with a potential soft tissue injury.

I first was seen by another orthopedic doctor, who sent me to a orthopedic surgeon, after hearing that my rotator cuff was severely damaged and that shoulder replacement was my only option. A good friend of mine recommended looking into Regenexx treatments, as their friend in AZ had great success with his shoulder. I searched the web and found Dr. Daniel Southern who was part of the Regenexx team and was located near me in Connecticut. After getting an appointment quickly with Dr. southern and discussing his Regenexx treatment, I became convinced and reassured that this was my best option, rather than risky, invasive surgery using artificial parts. After only 2 weeks of healing from the procedure I had already noticed a huge difference in mobility (I had lost 95% of it). My shoulder continued to improve by the day, until I regained almost total mobility. It has now been 3 years since my procedure, and every day I am grateful for Dr. Southern’s life-changing help! Thank you

Dr. Southern is an excellent doctor. I’ve been a patient of his for 10 years now and he has been the only doctor able to alleviate my back pain. Two years ago he did a Regenexx procedure on my back (Platelet Lysate injections) which helped greatly. Appointments are never rushed and he takes the time to fully explain the problem. He is kind, caring and compassionate and his staff is friendly and helpful.

Dr. Southern and staff (Patty and Erik) are amazing. They put you at ease from the moment you walk into the office. This is a 5 Star experience all the way through. Dr. Southern values the patient-doctor relationship and explains all options. If you are looking (for an alternative to surgery) and great patient care, you owe it to yourself to have a 5 star experience here.

Outstanding! I was very impressed with Dr. Southern. I spent 30+ years in EMS and I am very particular about the doctors I see. Dr. Southern took a considerable amount of time examining me. He did not rush at all and was very thorough. Dr. Southern felt confident that he could relieve my back pain ( A result of my EMS career) which is preventing me from sleeping at night and had me scheduled for a MRI which I just completed yesterday. I will be scheduling my follow up visit very soon.

Had a stem cell transplant for a plantar fascia tear. The procedure went great and was able to have a full recovery in the area. The staff was very helpful and available throughout the process.

I don’t often leave reviews but had to make an exception for Dr. Southern. I truly am happy with the doctor and the office overall. My knee was swollen on and off for a year. Nothing was working. I did not want to just get cortisone injections (never had one yet) as I know it can cause cartilage to deteriorate further. I researched online and came across Dr. Southern. He did a few platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatments. What a difference! I haven’t had swelling in like 3 months and I’m back to exercising. I can’t thank Dr. Southern enough! I also think highly of his staff!

Clean office and very organized staff. Dr Southern took all the necessary time to examine and review all my symptoms and concerns to come up with a game plan. Did not feel like a “number” like so many other offices. Staff was very efficient.

I have been a patient of Dr. Daniel Southern for over 10 years. He has been a miracle worker for me and my chronic neck and mid back pain. I look forward to my appointments as he actually listens, talks with you and always wants to help me. I dont just feel like a patient I feel like I am talking with an old friend. Dr. Southern has given me a quality of life that I am so grateful for. I am able to work full time and do things that years ago I couldn't due to the pain I experience on a daily basis. I am forever grateful to Dr. Daniel Southern!

I have been coming to Dr, Southern for at least 10 years. He has kept my pain levels manageable through very accurate steroid shots, pain medicines, and physical therapy for arthritis, broken bones, and spinal stenosis and many disc issues. He sometimes is in a big hurry and only likes to focus on one issue at a time. Other times, he stays longer and explains what is going. happening to my body. He is personable and mostly cheerful. He is very good at pin pointing the cause of pain. He shows me respect for my consistent handling of my pain management. He shows interests in my activities.

It is rare to find a doctor that is as approachable as Daniel Southern. He spoke with me extensively about my treatment options and procedures in a most collegial manner. His commitment to helping me reach total comfort, both mentally and physically, made the process of going from painful to pain-free as fluid as possible. I am a better person for having met and received his professional care.

I had been seeing another practice and was not getting the quality of service that I wanted. I switched to Dr Southern and I will never use anyone else again. He listens to what I am saying, is very thorough, and is very easy to work with. I highly recommend anyone needing pain management or sports medicine to use Dr Southern, you will not be disappointed!

Dr Southern is a genius! His pain treatment was very specifically designed to block the nerve root which has caused me debilitating leg pain for the past 6 months through an epidural procedure. I was monitored on a live X-ray during the procedure to isolate the specific nerve being treated. He is very skilled and compassionate. Best Dr. ever

I went and saw Dr. Southern at his Danbury office at 2 Riverview Dr. I have been suffering with carpal tunnel for years and was looking for an alternative to surgery. Dr. Southern suggested I have a PRP injection done. Since the injection I no longer have any numbness, tingling or loss of strength. The pain is completely gone. I wish I had known about this years ago before I had my other wrist operated on.

I had a very successful PRP treatment by Dr. Southern. I had neck and head pain for one year. Dr. Southern tried everything that my insurance would cover. I had P.T., epidural injection and a procedure call denervation. I got some relief, however, not enough. Because PRP is not covered by insurance he left it until last. I am 99% pain free, however, you must be willing to wait 2 to 4 months for it to fuller take affect. It was well worth paying out of pocket I would do it again.

Dr. Southern is very confident of his skills and knowledge base. Referring to his own experiences with pain and his education, he is straight forward. Though some may want hand holding, I prefer a direct honest assessment...and that is what you get with him. He offers his best medical judgement and I would not expect him change his decisions. I was in excruciating pain from a stenosis in my spine. After he administered an epidural injection I was pain free .....and so remain for 2.5 years!

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Southern. I've seen him twice and each time I found myself leaving his office knowing answers to all my questions along with all my options for treatment moving forward. He spent a long time with me both times. He's a very personable young man with a really warm personality. He has a very nice staff ... they're warm, friendly & most helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to refer friends to him.

I went to Dr Southern for a workers comp neck injury. I saw him four times At first I thought he had no bed side manner but as I went to him I realized that what he lacks in personality he has in experience an intensity he is obviously a very busy doctor and has to concentrate on getting his patients well I ask a lot of doctors about him, his pier group has only good things to say about him. We go to the doctor very needy. They are not there to be our friend He is smart.
