Dr. Darya McDaniel
Dr. Darya McDaniel, a life-long adventurer, has lived in several states across the country. The diverse landscape and Lake Michigan coastline made her fall in love with Wisconsin, and she feels a genuine connection with the warm-hearted and welcoming communities of the Sheboygan and Manitowoc areas.
Truly passionate about optometry, Dr. McDaniel is excited to serve our area and ensure that each patient gets the meticulous care and attention that they need. She earned her Doctor of Optometry degree from the Inter American University of Puerto Rico School of Optometry. Dr. McDaniel also holds a B.S. in Biology from New Jersey City University. Her pre-college schooling was completed in Ukraine, bringing a rich educational and cultural background to our team.
Dr. McDaniel and her husband, Shane, are equally excited that they get to raise their two young boys in this beautiful area. Erin, their oldest son, is 8 and he enjoys music and the arts. His younger brother, Ivan, is 6 and a fan of soccer. The boys are looking forward to making new friends at Northview Elementary in Howards Grove after the Winter break.
Please join us in giving Dr. Darya McDaniel, a warm welcome! We are confident you will appreciate her dedicated, thorough, and compassionate approach to optometry.
