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.

I HAD POLIO when I was a kid. It causes pain in my back and hips and legs.I HAVE. I HAVE A-FIB. I am 83 years old in July and in general doing pretty good. I DON,T GO TO THE DR. VERY OFTEN. My main concern is that I take Hydrocodone for pain concerning polio. I still walk some by myself and have a up walker that i use for shopping and exercise walking. I need to know if I will be able to get this drug. I am with Dr. Kim Countryman and have been over 30 some years. She is retiring in Sept. I,M sure there is more problems about me . will I BE ABLE TO GET HYDROCODONE . THANK YOU SINCERELY Jacque Freeland

not sure what this means – May 10, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Donahue?
Dr. Donahue has been my primary care doctor for over 20 years. She is wonderful when answering questions, and goes above and beyond to diagnose and provide best practice treatment and solutions. Her staff is friendly and helpful. I have had some difficult health issues and a number of related complications, and she has done an excellent job of working with it all. She takes concerns seriously, and explains not only her treatment recommendations, but the reasoning behind her choices. I feel very fortunate to have her as my physician.

Wonderful doctor and staff! – Jan 07, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Donahue?
I would give her 10 stars if I could! She's very caring, listens patiently, and never makes you feel like she's trying to hurry you out the door. She always remembers what we discussed at our last visit - even if it was a year ago. She always goes the extra mile when finding a solution and will gladly refer you to a specialist if she doesn't think she has the answer for you. She's the doctor everybody wishes they had!

Susan Donahue was slow to reccomend a specialist and do paperwork, I called her office to ask questions, she called me at work and actually yelled at me claiming I was rude to her staff, they told me she didn't have paperwork done!! Very unprofessional, bad experience! She actually said she was so mad she was shaking! By the way I was NOT rude just asking questions , so sad! Never trust her,

Dr. Donahue is far above average. She is one of the most caring doctors I've ever been around, and she has an insatiable appetite for knowledge. She's not one to treat symptoms - she wants to get to the heart of the problem and is tenacious in her search for answers. Dr. Donahue provides the care we all are looking for, but few have found. I consider myself one of the lucky ones, and I highly recommend her!
