Reverse total shoulder replacement
Outstanding care!
The good doctor performed a reverse total shoulder replacement in August (2026) for me. Awesome communicator, great follow-up, and of course highly skilled. In fact it was such a great experience so that I am having the other shoulder done in November (2026).
Clavicle fracture surgery
Great Doctor, wonderful human being
Dr. Haber repaired my severely fractured left clavicle. He is an outstanding surgeon with a kind nature, a good listener who worked with me to find a recovery plan that both challenged me and protected me. Scheduling and office visits were efficient but not rushed. Dr Haber coordinated well with my physical therapist.
Sports medicine care
Awesome Doctor and team
Dr. Haber, Brooke Mansfield, PA-C, and the rest of the team, are awesome. I have lived a very active, physically demanding life, both personally and professionally. As a result, I have visited way too many Doctors, especially orthos and sports medicine specialist, (in several different states).These guys are some of the best.
Patient experience
None Better
I have always received respectful, meticulous, and excellent care by Dr. Haber and his staff.
Sports medicine care
Fantastic physician!
Dr. Haber is a very knowledgeable and skilled sports med physician and surgeon. This box is not big enough to adequately describe all of Dr. Haber’s amazing attributes. I found him to be very caring and beyond patient throughout my course of care. He spends so much time explaining the images, diagnosis, and treatment options so you fully understand your plan of care. I have never met a more responsive physician that is committed to getting every patient back to their best pre-injury self.
Surgical care and recovery
Excellent!
I would highly recommend Dr Haber to anyone! He is an expert in his field, has a wonderful bedside manner, listens and answers questions. He he is thorough and doesn’t rush. My surgery went smoothly and I am very pleased with my progress. I’m so glad I was fortunate enough to have him as my surgeon.
Treatment consultation
Dr Haber is gentle,caring and so very knowledgeable. He is articulate as he explains options to reduce severe pain. Patience is his approach!
Surgery and rehabilitation
True Caregiver
Dr Haber is amazing! Over the course of my injury, through surgery, recovery, and rehabilitation, Dr Haber was genuinely caring and concerned about me. He never made me feel rushed or pressure to make decisions that I wasn’t ready for. He’s honest and overall warm and friendly! I would recommend him to all my family and friends! I’m in healthcare and know lots of physicians but none are close to like him!
Total shoulder replacement
Excellent Surgeon
Dr Haber is an excellent surgeon. I had a total shoulder replacement and cannot be happier with the results. Everything was very well organized and made the whole process easier. I definitely recommend him for anyone looking to have a shoulder replacement.

Dr. Haber is outstanding at what he does! He is very professional, takes the time to explain things so you understand without being demeaning like some doctor's do. He's very kind and patient, and went out of his way to help me! Thank you Dr. Haber!
Shoulder labrum and biceps tendon surgery
Dr Daniel Haber is a genuinely caring person and an exceptionally experienced and knowledgeable surgeon. His assistant Nick is responsive and relays information quickly and efficiently.
I had a full 360 degree labrum tear (now held by 7 anchors) as well as a bicep tendon hanging by a thread. 5-6 months after the surgery, with therapy, I was able to get active again, get back to (some) sports and the gym, and expecting much more progress in the coming months.
I was lucky to be cared for by this outstanding team.
Reverse total shoulder replacement
After an extremely painful emergency situation with another orthopedic surgeon, I was referred by the hospital emergency room staff to contact Dr. Haber at Panorama Orthopedics. His staff and physician's assistant got me in to see them within 2 hours of my call. I was immediately diagnosed and scheduled for a Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement.
Dr. Haber is, perhaps, the most knowledgeable and professional person I have ever met. He has a sincere empathy for his patients and takes the time to discuss a particular diagnosis until the patient clearly understands exactly what is to be expected.
The entire Panorama medical team is exceptional and I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to refer Panorama/Dr. Haber to anyone requiring orthopedic medical attention.

Patient and referring healthcare provider
Hands down the best ortho team around. As a provider myself, Not only do I refer all my patients I see for ortho injuries to them- I am also one of their patients. Dr Haber, Brooke PA-C and Nick are all so compassionate, competent and available to their patients. Two ortho surgeries now for me and they have been there every step of the way!!
Patient experience
Dr. Haber and staff have been fantastic! Professional, efficient and attentive to the needs of our family! Several years of service to us have so great to preserve our very active healthy lifestyle!
Meniscus root tear surgery
I had a root tear of the inner meniscus and it was causing me extreme pain. I had the good fortune to be referred to Dr. Haber for a consultation reference my injury. I was extremely nervous about the future of my being able to complete the outdoor activities I like to do and getting back to work with such an injury. Dr. Haber was very understanding about my concerns and truly listened to everything I had to say. He explained everything reference the injury and he was straight forward with my prognosis. I scheduled my surgery and anytime I needed further questions answered his office liaison Nick was right on top of taking care of questions or adjusting schedules. The office staff was on time and friendly and when I needed to get in to see Dr. Haber after the surgery for an emergency check up Nick was able to get me in right away. If you are looking for an excellent doctor who has a great bed side manner then Dr. Haber is the doctor for you.
Meniscus surgery
The care I received for a meniscus surgery was exceptional. Not only was Haber a skilled surgeon, but his bed side manner and thoughtful handling of questions is the best I ever had. I felt fortunate to be cared for by he and his amazing team.
ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair
Dr Haber is a world class orthopedic surgeon. His resume speaks for itself… I’m 8 weeks post op, and had an ACL reconstruction and meniscus took multiple stitches. Forever grateful to Dr Haber and if anyone needs an orthopedic surgery, should know, that he is as good as it gets!

Shoulder replacements
Dr Haber was very open & comfortable to talk to. I have had both my shoulders replaced in the last 2 years. Both experiences went very well. I have just finished the rehab on the last replacement. They are in contact with you throughout your recovery & respond quickly to concerns or questions. The whole team seems focused on you as if you are their only patient.
I would strongly recommend Dr Haber to anyone needing shoulder surgery of any kind.
Reverse shoulder replacement
I had reverse left shoulder replacement performed by Dr. Daniel Haber on January 5, 2024. I have been thoroughly thrilled with the results! Dr. Haber got the angles correct for my range of motion to already be amazing only 4 months later!!!
His team has supported me from diagnosis through recovery. I saw Brooke first. She was very informative. All questions were answered promptly by Nick as I prepared for the surgery and rehab.
I am so happy that I chose Dr. Haber and his team of professionals for my Reverse Shoulder Surgery.
I would recommend him to my family and friends.
ACL/MCL reconstruction
Talk about bed side manners. Dr Haber not only did a phenomenal job on my ACL/MCL reconstruction surgery, but he insisted he tie my shoe before leaving his office during my 2 week post-op check in.
Guys not only a great doctor, but an even better human being.
Reverse shoulder surgery
Hi highly recommend Dr. Daniel Haber. I’m 63 yrs old and I fell on 02OCT2024 and broke my left shoulder in 8 different places. I also had a previous surgery on my left shoulder back in 2020 after a major car accident so my shoulder was already giving me issues. I was so glad my niece recommended Dr Haber as she is a surgical tech and works with a lot of different surgeons in the operating room. My niece told me Dr Haber was a great, gifted, perfectionist surgeon but what makes him stand out from all the other surgeons she works with was his bedside manner. Dr. Haber treats everyone like they matter and is truly a caring Doctor.
I ended up going with Dr Haber after meeting him and his staff. I had reverse shoulder replacement surgery on 11DEC2024 and I feel my shoulder is better than it was before my accident. I was lucky to have the recommendation from my niece and I would love to confirm that Dr. Haber not only is a great Doctor / Surgeon but also has great bedside manner from my personal experience. Dr Haber explained everything to me why he recommended reverse shoulder surgery and the before and after care was great. His staff is also wonderful!!
👍🏼 For Dr. Haber!!
Patient experience
Dr. Haber has taken care of both me and my husband and he’s been amazing. Thorough, kind, and takes the time to explain everything. I feel grateful to have him in our community and would highly recommend him to anyone.
Patient and OR colleague
One of the best surgeons. Very kind, polite, and patient when explaining procedures with patients. I have the honor to not only be his patient, but also work with him in the OR at SAN North. He is incredibly kind to staff members and family.
Surgical care
One of the hardest things is to accept surgery is needed. Having Dr. Haber as my surgeon put me at ease. Dr.Haber team and the PT crew know how to work together to give you the best results.
I was treated with professionalism, respect, and encouragement to get me through this process. I will refer to Dr. Haber and I truly am blessed to have had God send Dr. Haber to me. Thank you!!
Reverse shoulder replacement
After meeting Dr Haber and his team last year, I decided he was who I wanted to do my shoulder surgery. He took the time to get to know me and my expectations, to discuss all options, address any concerns and answer my questions. I am now almost 4 months out from my reverse shoulder replacement and could not be happier with the results. Dr. Haber and his staff have been wonderful.
Proximal hamstring tendon repair
Dr. Haber performed my proximal hamstring tendon repair in June. After an unfortunate accident on a skateboard that tore my hamstring tendons off the bone, I saw Dr. Haber when I realized that this was an injury that needed immediate care. I was able to get into to see him quickly and he recognized the severity of the injury and was able to fit me in for surgery quickly because time is of an essence for this kind of repair. Surgery and recovery went smoothly for me and any questions or concerns I had were answered by Dr Haber and his team. I have since learned about how wrong this surgery can go for some people, and I am so thankful that my surgery and rehab went so smoothly under the care of Dr. Haber. I am now 6 months post op and feel great. I’m returning to all the sports I love feeling strong and stable.
Knee care
Absolutely love Dr. Haber! He always listens and is willing to go over everything with me. He will take the time to educate you, will take his time to properly explain everything to make sure you really understand what is going on and the next steps that need to happen. I highly recommend Dr. Haber and is my go to when it comes to anything that has to do with my knees.
Shoulder replacements
Dr. Haber is a highly skilled and compassionate surgeon. Dr. Haber replaced both of my shoulders a year apart due to rotator cuff tears. I experienced little pain and was able to immediately begin physical therapy.
Through the entire process Dr. Haber's office was available for any questions. During follow-up visits, I was treated with the same professionalism and compassion.
Shoulder care
Dr. Haber is an understanding, kind, and talented doctor. He takes the time you need to answer any questions and prioritizes patients. He has done wonders for my shoulder pain as well as my understanding for the mechanical issues and the recommended repairs.
Surgical care and recovery
Dr Haber was fantastic from the get go - I had an absolutely outstanding experience. From the very first appointment, he was incredibly kind, patient, and reassuring. Throughout my recovery, they went above and beyond—checking in regularly and explaining every step of the process clearly. His compassion and dedication truly made the entire surgery process easier. It’s rare to find a doctor who not only provides excellent medical care but also treats you with genuine warmth and respect.
Patient experience
Every visit with DR. Haber is a pleasure.Love this guy he is the best. He is so caring and professional. His God given skill is unmatched. Panarama is blessed to have him.
Shoulder injury
WOW! Dr. Haber cares, he listens, he’s compassionate and knowledgeable! I’m so thrilled to be in his excellent care for my shoulder injury.
Meniscus repair
Probably the best experience I’ve ever had with a doctor. Dr Haber has gone above and beyond throughout the pre op and post op process and I’m really glad I went with him for my meniscus repair.
Surgical care and recovery
Dr. Haber was a game changer for me. I’ve been into multiple doctors and unable to get the support I needed. when I first went in for my consultation, He immediately gave me confidence that he knew the right approach to come to the best diagnosis and plan. The surgery went great, and I followed my physical therapy to the tee. I’m a couple months postop still in recovery but absolutely on the right path and could not be happier. I’m getting my life back thanks to Dr. Haber.
Rotator cuff surgery
If I could leave 10 stars for Dr Haber I would!!! First and foremost his bedside manner is the best. He never rushed, he answered any question we had, he made me feel like I was a VIP patient!!! I’m on my 4th month of my rotator cuff surgery. And for the most part. Feeling great!!!! Thank you so much much for fixing me!!!
Patient experience
Dr Haber is a very caring physician that makes you feel so comfortable! 100% great bedside manner. Not only is Dr Haber an exceptional doctor, but he is an exceptional person to know and count on. I’m so glad I have him as a doctor.
Orthopedic care
Dr. Daniel Haber was exceptional. His precision, expertise, and care during my entire orthopedic journey were outstanding. I couldn’t be more grateful and highly recommend him to all my friends and anyone that needs an O.P.S
Shoulder surgery
Recently had shoulder surgery performed by Dr Haber. As an RN I had researched several orthopedic surgeons and every time I looked into best surgeons with great outcomes, Dr Haber came out on top. Important to me was: reputation, other nurses recommendations, lack of post operative complications etc. And for me personally--personality and bedside manner is always top 2 for me. His office staff is friendly and helpful as well. My post op experience has been without complications and I'll soon be returning to work. Thanks Dr. Haber and Panorama Orthopedics.
Complex knee injury
Dr. Haber and the team at Panorama are beyond incredible. St Anthony’s North referred me to Dr. Haber at Panorama and I couldn’t have gotten a better doctor. I had a complete knee blowout, ruptured patellar tendon and 3 other torn ligaments. He and his team were amazing at getting me in urgently to perform surgery on my patellar (as that’s an immediate need) and were accommodating and insightful. Dr. Haber’s resume speaks for itself and couldn’t have gotten a better doctor and was extremely lucky, his methods are the cutting edge of today’s medicine. He and his team go above and beyond to do everything possible for you.
