Daniel Donner, MD, originally studied adult neurology, but quickly found his calling to be there for families and children throughout life. He loves working with children and adults to make better health choices and benefit the entire family. He firmly believes in shared decision-making; his role is to provide the best advice and information, while working with a family to develop the best course of action. Dr. Donner enjoys Charlotte's greenways and spends time hiking and biking, along with attending plays and musicals, playing board games and watching movies. He says his experiences as a devoted uncle, brother, son, and friend give him motivation every day to help children and parents with illnesses and troubles of all kinds.

I took a medical science course early in high school and became interested in health care. Several years later, my mom was treated for Stage 2 breast cancer. She felt very supported by her FNP (family nurse practitioner) throughout diagnosis and treatment. That made an impact on me. She has been in remission for 10 years.\n After working as a registered nurse in adult medical and critical care services at Presbyterian Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, I went on to earn a master's degree at UNC Charlotte so I could work as an advanced practice provider in family medicine. \n I provide comprehensive, patient-centered care, by which I mean taking the time to hear you out and make recommendations based on your needs and values. \n I am recently married and live in Charlotte with my husband. My parents and siblings also live in the Charlotte area, and we spend most weekends together. I enjoy reading, exercise, and travel and am a big fan of Tar Heel basketball.
