Diablo Valley Treatment and – San Ramon

Dr Smeester is the most sincere Dr that I have ever known. The sincerity in his voice is real ..he loves his profession . He has made my life so much better . All I can say is Thank you Doc..

Magnolia was highly recommended by my therapist, and I’m glad i listened to her. This place feels very homey, but at the same time it’s definitely high-end and has a lot of amenities that I don’t think you’d find at… many other inpatient rehabs, like a theater room, jacuzzi, gym, resources, beautiful rooms. It’s also really beautiful and peaceful here, which has helped a lot during this process. The group therapy sessions are very intimate, and the people in group are genuinely non-judgmental. I work with Kristine, who has been amazing. Just graduated IOP and i feel confident with getting out there and working on my sobriety personally. Dr. Smeester (“Dan”) is great. He has a very warm and gentle presence, and it’s clear that he really cares about helping people who are struggling with addiction. He doesn’t judge. he listens carefully and accommodates any extra need you need. I had a great experience, and learned a lot. They provide aftercare for all graduates no matter when they graduated. I personally continue to attend aftercare every Wednesday, free of charge.

If you want a Dr. who listens and really cares about what you’re saying then you’ve come to the right Doctor!! Dr. Smeester is an amazing human and Doctor!! He never rushes you he genuinely wants to listen and work with… me to help give me quality of life♥️ Chronic pain is no joke. I’ve been in pain management since 2011.

You will never find a Dr like Dr Smeester he is 1 in a million!! He is caring he works with you to give you the best outcome. I can’t imagine my life without his care. If you truly want great care then you’ve come to the right place!! Summer is his assistant she is the sweetest young lady who runs the office!!

Having to endure multiple spinal surgeries Dr. Smeester has proven to be extremely helpful. One can only hope to find doctors of his quality. It is because of his care that I been able to maintain a professional career… and function well in society. He truly listens to patients and provides the right genuine care needed. On a rating of 1-5, 5 being the best I would rate him a perfect 10 !!!

As a monthly returning patient, the high quality of care has remained perfectly consistent. Dr. Smeester is still outstanding, he takes the time to listen to concerns and I continue to highly recommend this practice to… anyone needing his care.

Dr. Smeester is the absolute best! I recommend his program to anyone who is struggling.

Very caring and wonderful

I have been a patient at Diablo Valley DAS for many years. Dr Smeester and his staff are the best! They genuinely care for their patients. They also advocate for their patients in the community and with insurance… companies & pharmacies. Doctor Smeester is also just a very nice person and always a pleasure to be around.

Great quality care and communication

Dr. Semester is extremely caring and unlike most doctors he isn’t in a hurry. He spends the time needed to get your issue dealt with.

Fantastic service and patient care. Dr. Smeester is caring and knowledgeable who puts you at ease with his bedside manner which I have not experienced at other facilities.

This dr and staff have been amazing and kept me sober for along time now.due to moving for work and across state lines. It's always a hard thing to keep getting new Dr's.

Dr Dan is the best!

knowledgeable doctor / kind staff . Highly recommend

The doctor listens to you whether you have a problem or not. He’s very courteous. And is very personable.

Having survived a head on collision, enduring 6 major spinal surgeries Dr. Semester has proven to be the most caring professional, up to date pain management specialist I have come to know. His patients are his #1 focus… with a diagnosis that’s always been the most stressful course of action.

Very impressed and happy I chose this place! To begin, they have an efficient and easy to reach front desk service. In the office, Daniel Smeester is friendly and easy to talk to while maintaining professionalism. I… walked in feeling nervous and left feeling calm since he is so easy to talk to.

Kind, knowledgeable, and helpful front office staff members and physician. I highly recommend this practice. I personally have utilized the ketamine infusions for anxiety and depression and I feel like I have been given… a second lease on life. Dr. Smeester is thorough, informative, and passionate about the care he provides. I am very blessed to have found his practice.
