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.

Excellent Dr. Makes you feel so confutable, explains everything step by step.

Without hesitation, I recommend Dr. Donato
Dr Donato is confident in his experience, which made me feel at ease. He listened, offered options, and got me into surgery very fast. All went well, everyone on his team is excellent.

The BEST care…
Dr. Donato and every single person on his team has given me THE BEST care. Honestly, every visit, my surgery, and aftercare has been more than top notch. I have felt cared for, educated, and truly heard at every turn.In a world filled with disappointing service experiences, having such experienced, attentive and kind people surrounding me through what is a “shake you to your core” healthcare experience has been nothing short of remarkable…thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Extremely good at diagnosing and treating me
Dr Donato correctly diagnosed me as having huge fibroids instead of cancer and was able to get me in to the hospital within a few days for surgery. I highly recommend him and his amazing expertise. He allayed all my concerns and was spot on in his diagnosis.

Efficient Visits
I really appreciate the care and efficiency that the nurses and Dr. Donato provided. The commitment to finding a solution to a symptomatic mass is appreciated as a wait and see approach provided no solution. The surgery went well and was super fast (DaVinci robot). Hoping to see some of the novel, non-invasive options from this group in the future as well.

Disconnect from patient
Dr. Donato does not have any decent bedside manners. I was looking for a doctor who would not only guide me through my cancer journey but I needed a doctor who would treat me like a human being and not a number. If you are looking for someone who has zero capacity for empathy and understanding, this is the doctor for you. He is not able to connect on a deeper lever with his patients and his cold remarks in the exam room reflected that. You would think with his 40 yrs of experience he would have learned that his patients deserve to be treated on a human level by listening to the patient, being empathetic and making the patient feel heard but again, you will not find that with Dr. Donato.

Great surgeon, Poor communicator
I have overlooked Dr Donato’s terrible bedside manner, lack of empathy and poor communication for 17 years and through five surgeries because his technical skills as a surgeon are excellent. He got me through some difficult procedures and I am grateful. And I will no longer be his patient. There are lots of other surgeons who have skills and empathy, who talk to their patients and are team players. Everyone dealing with cancer deserves that.

Monster, not doctor! AVOID!! Fake videos!!!!!!!!!!
From the minute he entered our room, he was wanting to leave, and wouldn't listen to one word my husband and I had to say. He was impatient, demanding, insulting, angry, and we couldn't believe he was supposedly a "doctor". He was so monstrous, that I had to finally say: "You are NOT the doctor for me!" and my husband agreed totally. Word to the wise: Don't be fooled by his lovely fake videos that wrongly make him look like a patient, caring, compassionate doctor. He is NOTHING like that, in reality. Sad, but true! We think he needs a good "shrink" himself, to find out what's really going on in his very disturbed mind...
