Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Doctor and Surgeon
She listened to all my issues and was able to figure out the problem after I had been to multiple doctors. So thankful.

Great Sugeon! Great experience!
At 54 years old I was close to terrified about having my first ever surgery. Dr. Donaldson put me at ease. She was very informative and compassionate. She really does seem to care about her patient. Her staff is very helpful and friendly as well. I have had little to no pain from the repair of my shoulder. I won't hesitate to go to her for any further issues I may have and I would highly recommend her to take care of any of my loved ones. The 4 1/2 hour drive to Harvre to have her take care of me was definitely worth the trip. Thank you Dr. Donaldson!!

Caring and akilled
Having been a patient for almost 20 years I can say Dr Donaldson is a great surgeon and just an amazing human. She listens and gives sound advice. I admire that if your issue can’t be solved locally, she goes out of her way to get you to the best facility and surgeon for your complicated problem. I will always recommend her. Many of my family members have also been treated by her with great results.

I am so grateful for Dr. Donaldson. I first came to her as an injured high school athlete, and she’s led me through every subsequent injury with a kind and confident hand. She excels at making every procedure, prognosis, and possible option exceptionally clear, and she’s always been open to my nearly constant stream of questions. I even drove four hours across the state to remain her patient. Most recently, as my joints began to significantly wear out, her advice and expertise helped me to avoid a joint replacement before the age of 30! As I’ve grown up and been her patient for nearly 15 years, I have always been able to count on Dr. D.

Excellent surgeon, very kind and compassionate.
Dr. Donaldson was very kind and compassionate . She remembered me and my history always. She took the time to explain all the options and gave me her recommendations . She truly cares about her patients. She gave me all the time I needed in each appointment and you’d never know she had rooms full of patients. I’ve seen her for multiple body parts, my work comp knee injury, hips and most important she diagnosed a large giant cell tumor in my pelvis that kept getting ignored by other medical Providers. She was there for me through the entire event- made a quick referral and was able to get me into an orthopedic oncologist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Utah within 5 days. I was very fortunate that she has the reputation and connection she does to be able to get the tumor taken care of. She then followed me after the major operation.

Poor attitude, very rushed, my husband’s surgery resulted in an 8” scar down his hip from her “cutting out” the infection that was likely a mass related to other more serious health problems now coming to light. No follow up whatsoever and responded poorly to anything at all that questioned the diagnosis or pushed for more info/in-depth analysis.

Very poor doctor. I would recommend anyone else. She performed surgery on my mother and provided no follow up. My mother got an infection and died as a result. Donaldson and her staff were rude and had no compassion.

Very short-tempered and unkind. Convinced me that I had arthritis in my knee and talked me into a total knee replacement when I actually had leukemia- -no arthritis. Get a second opinion before having surgery from her. The knee she replaced hurts every day and i would give anything to have my original knee back in place, especially since I didn't have arthritis and didn't need a knee replacement. She would get angry with me when I complained of bone pain after surgery (it was leukemia pain).
