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.

Dr Donovan gave me my voice back. He helped remove a large tumor from my head in very hard to reach area on a nerve. He then was able to adjust my vocal cord to work again. He is very compassionate and explains everything. He is a very skilled surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Donovan came highly recommended by my retiring endocrinologists and after my surgery with him I can see why. He is brilliant, kind, caring and patient. My thyroid surgery was complicated because of the size and location of the growth being removed. There are many things that can go wrong in such a surgery and none of those things occurred because of Dr. Donovan's steady hand and years of experience. Several of the hospital staff said they'd use Dr. Donovan if they or family needed an ENT.

I have been a patient of Dr. Donovan for at least the past 10 years, seeing him for quarterly treatment of spasmodic dysphonia. He is a fabulous physician and very caring and professional. Thank you so very much for the improvements that you have helped me attain over the years. I would not be where I am today without Dr. Donovan.
