Dan assists Turk in a pink belly. ("My New Suit")
He spent most of his life as a part time bartender living in his mother's attic. J.D. was never proud of him, but glad that he always looked successful in comparison to him. ("My Big Brother") Eventually, J.D. "laid some hard truths" on him. At first, he takes it hard, as he did not want to talk to his little brother. Dan eventually takes one of J.D.'s suits and goes to start his resumé and get a job. ("My New Suit")

Relationships[]
J.D.[]
Dan pranks J.D. ("My Inconvenient Truth")
As his older brother Dan was never there for J.D.. As an adult, he is no better (though he once privately warned Dr Cox to treat him better, and said the family always knew he would make it in the world). When their dad died, Dan spent several hours, almost a day, drinking beer in J.D.'s bath tub, leaving only after having a fling with Elliot. ("My Cake") Dan returns the next year and J.D. finally tells Dan to get his life together and lends Dan his suit to go to a job interview. ("My New Suit") Dan returns yet again 2 years later as a successful real estate agent. Having taken J.D.'s advice, Dan buys J.D. a new hybrid car so J.D. can visit Sammy. Now, Dan cares for J.D.'s well-being and looks out for J.D. ("My Inconvenient Truth"). Dan always refers to J.D. as "Johnny", except for one episode where he calls out "J.D." when asked if J.D. is home.("My Cake")
Elliot Reid[]
Dan went through a period of having sex and romantic experiences with Elliot Reid, causing J.D. to get both annoyed and upset.
Dr. Perry Cox[]
Cox, J.D. and Dan toast the late Sam Dorian. ("My Cake")
Dan is one of the few people not intimidated or frightened by Dr. Cox, immediately seeing through his tough-guy persona and even being amused by it. He will openly be unaffected and bored by Dr. Cox's insults or rants, and will go so far as to antagonize him by calling nicknames such as Coxie or Coxsmith. Despite this, Dan does recognize Dr. Cox as being the one J.D. looks up to as opposed to himself, and seems to respect him for it. When Dan noticed that Dr. Cox’s persistent cynicism had caused J.D. to lose his love of being a doctor, he personally takes Dr. Cox aside to warn him to take his responsibility to J.D. seriously, or else answer to him. The two have since had a quiet respect of each other, though still maintaining their relationship of Dr. Cox relentlessly insulting Dan for his immaturity.
Keith Dudemeister[]
Dan once nearly had a threesome with Keith Dudemeister and Elliot. We are not sure who called off the event, though it was probably Elliot since it seemed that both Keith and Dan were reluctantly accepting of the idea.
