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.

Doesn't get any better
Dr. Donahue and his staff are outstanding. Having a 'mass' in a very delicate location, Dr. Donahue and staff made me feel very comfortable, with dignity and respect. He then explained thoroughly (in language I could understand) what he he was going to do. He froze the area and I never felt a thing after that. Not the 6 shots of Novocain, not cutting the mass out, the stitches being put on, nor any pain after that. He took the time to learn what I needed medically and what I needed for emotional support. I found him kind, sweet, and a talented general surgeon. Thank you Dr. Donahue and his staff.

His time is more important
The office staff joked with each other, he called one a cutie. The appointment took only 5 minutes, because he was needed in the OR. I didn't get to ask questions, he breezed through the MRI, and didn't explain anything to me.

Two Thumbs Up
This was my second office visit, and it went even better than the first. On each occasion Dr. Donahue was pleasant and efficient. Because of his extensive experience he can make an instant diagnosis, explain the situation and offer several options. Each time he successfully treated my condition right there in the office and I was pain free in a few days. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Donahue and his medical staff are great. Highly recommended, his work speaks for itself. Extremely happy with the minimal scarring from two cyst removals.

Dr Donahue looks at the growth in question and then he takes care of it most of the time right then and there. I have never had a problem.

Kind man, but could not explain my condition well, nor correctly. When I asked him twice how many times he had treated my condition, the numbers changed. Gave me no post-op instructions -- I have had to go through reddit just to figure out how to care for the incision he made. Could not answer questions about modern procedures for my affliction and wanted to do a major operation for an acute occurrence. Not the biggest fan -- but nice guy.

Unfortunately, I passed out on my way out of Dr. Donahue's office. But what happened next is what matters. A group of super women rallied around me to speak to me and even walk me to my car. I really thank them for their comfort. It was a volulnerable moment for me and these perfect strangers came together to piece me back together. Thank you Leslie and crew!
