Training and Background

Dr. Daniali was a Woodrow Wilson Fellow at Johns Hopkins University where she received her Bachelor’s of Arts in Public Health Studies. She then completed medical school at the University of Washington, the #1 medical school in the country, graduating with honors. 

Dr. Daniali completed elite plastic surgery residency at Rutgers Biomedical & Health Sciences in NJ before being selected for two subspecialty fellowships. She pursued a Craniofacial Fellowship at Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute and then a Hand Surgery/Microsurgery Fellowship at University of Texas Southwestern.  

Giving Back

While in the past Dr. Daniali traveled internationally for medical mission work, in her current practice she regularly donates care for undocumented, indigent, and underinsured Americans, providing them with quality treatment regardless of status. 

Philosophy and Approach

As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Daniali first focuses her time with her patients on really listening to their stories, feelings, and symptoms in order to understand their goals. As a result, she can be an educator to help them understand their situation and options available to improve their lives. Together, they can formulate a plan of care to achieve their unique objectives. 

Plastic surgery is complex, but Dr. Daniali can help anyone understand the most complicated processes simply and effectively. She sees herself as the patient’s trusted advisor, working hard to keep them safe, and provide excellent, effective, and competent care with a gentle hand and bedside manner. Patients often come in feeling very anxious, and they leave knowing they are cared for and safe.

A patient’s emotional recovery through the plastic surgery process is just as important to Dr. Daniali as their physical recovery. Respected colleagues across a 6-state region regularly refer patients with complex problems, whether aesthetic or reconstructive, to Dr. Daniali for her technically advanced aesthetic and reconstructive techniques.
