Meet Danielle daCunha, PA-C

Danielle is the Physician Assistant working alongside Dr. Ridha at RIDHA Plastic Surgery & Med Spa. She completed her Physician Assistant training at SUNY Upstate Medical University in 2019, bringing a strong foundation in medical science and patient care.

Before joining the practice, Danielle started her career in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine, where she developed a comprehensive medical foundation and honed her skills in acute care and patient management. This diverse background allows her to provide exceptional care across a wide range of treatments.

She has found her passion in Plastic Surgery and aesthetics, driven by her desire to make patients look and feel their best. Danielle assists Dr. Ridha in the operating room, sees post-op patients, and is trained in performing in-office procedures such as Botox, fillers, and lasers. She also sees patients through the medical weight loss program.

Danielle believes that true patient care extends beyond procedures and treatments. Her background in emergency and internal medicine taught her the importance of listening to patients, understanding their concerns, and providing compassionate, comprehensive care.

She takes pride in building lasting relationships with patients, guiding them through their aesthetic journey with education, support, and expert care. Whether assisting in the operating room or performing minimally invasive treatments, Danielle brings the same dedication to excellence and patient wellbeing.

When she's not at the practice, Danielle enjoys skiing, traveling, trying new restaurants, and spending time with her family and her Bernedoodle puppy.
