I felt comfortable throughout the whole test. While most medical providers are polite and ask about your comfort, few really make a personal connection when working with you. You are a task to be completed as quickly as possible. Chris never made me feel that way. He always made me feel he saw a person. He is a great asset to your business. In fact, everyone I dealt with took the time to interact with me and make me feel comfortable. I would recommend you to anyone needing your services. – Kathleen
Daniel R. Possehn, D.O.
Dr. Daniel R. Possehn began with Cheyenne Radiology Group in 2005, after finishing a neuroradiology fellowship in California. Although Dr. Possehn can usually be found with a cup of coffee in his hand, don’t try to offer him a mug of instant joe—he’s more of a coffee connoisseur than a caffeine junky. When he’s not at work or traveling to remote destinations, he can be found jamming on the drums or enjoying a walk with his wife and their four-legged child Bear, a golden retriever.
