Dr. John Donohue, MD

A horrible man in my opinion. I live on the other coast and was being treated by a wonderful surgeon, Dr Eric Weiss, at Cleveland Clinic in Weston's gastroenterology department. My internist was concerned that I may be having issues requiring a rheumatologist and since I was having such great treatment from Dr Weiss and his department, referred me to Dr. Donahue as we have a shortage of rheumatologist in this area. I made an appointment with Dr. Donahue and drove from the other coast and when I got there I met with someone else. I went over my medical history and background and left without seeing Dr. Donahue. She ordered a test which I did immediately upon returning to the other coast. Dr Weiss was performing surgery the following week so I hand-delivered the films and report from the test. I never heard anything from them so I followed up and there seem to be some confusion on the tests so after much effort on my part they found the tests. Only telling me they found the test I suggested that it might be a good idea for me to have a follow up appointment and I wanted to see the doctor. Since it is a long drive for me to make by myself, I brought a friend with me to the follow up appointment. My appointment with Dr. Donahue did not go so well. He acted annoyed that I had bothered him and bluntly asked me, "why are you here?" Taken aback I stuttered that my internist felt that I needed to see a rheumatologist. He said that there was nothing wrong with me and that I did not have rheumatoid arthritis. I then had to make two trips back over there to try to get my copies of found back Fast forward a couple of years and I had a surgeon here do a knee replacement and he was very suspicious of tissue so he sent it out for a biopsy. Guess what I have rheumatoid arthritis and if I had known this a couple of years ago I might've been able to get treatment instead of the pain. The best advice I can give is to run away

Another awful experience with an arrogant rheumatologist that thinks he is the ONLY one that is able to diagnose an autoimmune condition. I had already been diagnosed many years ago and he dismissed my diagnosis and said basically I did not have it. Just because a doctor graduated from Harvard, etc., does not mean they know anything or knowledgeable. I honestly think he only knows how to treat people that have checked all the boxes of a condition. If you don’t have all those boxes checked, then you are a waste of his time and it was definitely a waste of my time. My husband is a physician and he went with me and he was not impressed either. Don’t waste your time! I was NOT impressed with Cleveland Clinic either.

Saw the Dr. he was nice. Took time with me. Sent me for test back in may. Called office 3 times and have never heard back from the dr. Or the staff. It is appalling that Cleveland Clinic allows a Dr to practice like this in a field where people need immediate attention. I would not recommend this Dr. to my worst enemy.

Dr. Donohue is a very compassionate doctor. He has helped my husband and I through so much. Thankful to have him close to us in Weston.

If I could give zero stars it would be a more appropriate score. When I met with him for my appointment he seemed to already have made up his mind about me and my diagnosis. He stated that it was impossible for me to have a disease that albeit is rare at my age. Worse, this impossibility he attributed to his lack of personal experience- since he hasn't seen it in 30 years it must not exist! It was clear he was not looking through an objective or scientific lens. He did not even examine me- he lectured me from across the room. He treated me like I had the audacity to ask him to do his job. Whatever questions I had that couldn't be dismissed were ignored. His bedside manner is atrocious. I'm pretty sure his ego is wrapped up more in the status symbol of playing pretend doctor rather than actually being one. I urge you to go elsewhere, you will be disappointed as I surely was.

I received excellent care from Dr Donohue

I would never recommend him to anyone. Arrogant and could not be bothered to look at my labs and chart. Then started attacking me personally when I had been very respectful of him. I kept hoping he would snap out of his mood and be a Doctor. No such luck. We traveled 500 miles one way to see this unprofessional person

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Donohue. He really took the time to explain treatment options, establish a treatment plan, etc. I left the appointment feeling that Dr. Donahue really cared about my well being and care plan. I peppered him with many questions, and he patiently answered all questions. Highly recommend.

Went to see Dr. Donohue for consultation for Arthritis a lot of pain. He told to go for some tests, and he would be in touch with me which I completed, After about 2 weeks I called the office they told me he receive them and he would call me. It is now the first week in July almost 2 months later havent heard a thing. I went to my GP who has the test results and told me the situation gave me something anti inflammatory to relieve some discomfort for now till I see a ortho specialist, and did
