About Danita G Vanderkodde
About the Provider
I chose medicine for a career because I truly believe that “to whom much is given, much is required.” From an early age, I was gifted with an interest in science, and on top of that, loving people is my passion. I feel privileged to put these gifts and talents to work today in a profession that allows me to make a positive difference in people’s lives.
Since 2005, I’ve had a focus on neurology which continues to grow my fascination with the intricacies of the human body. Neurological issues can be complex and difficult to treat, but if you become my patient, you should know that I will work as hard as you will to optimize your brain and body well-being.
My particular clinical interests include multiple sclerosis and migraine management — two chronic, relapsing-remitting conditions that science is still discovering more about. Every day I learn something new, and I feel fortunate to work in a field that is constantly changing and evolving. I’m ever grateful for the opportunity to care for others.

Not enough time allotted for a very important annual exam!! Important diagnostic and maintenance testing was omitted. Appointment felt rushed and incomplete. Hopefully, the next visit will go better.
