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.

First visit to Dr. Donahue. Very thorough and excellent communication describing all aspects of the exam.

I’ve gone to Dr Donahue for the last several years. As a life long contact wearer I appreciate her thoroughness and attention to my eye relative to the aging process and contact specific details. She is quick and professional. She and her staff are all very upbeat and pleasant. My only suggestion is that she take a little more time to ask the patient their complete sight situation. Like asking about my backup glasses or a backup pair of contacts. Just a suggestion.

Dr. Donahue provides excellent care. In my exam, she found something that concerned her. Due to her discovery, I was tested and diagnosed with a brain tumor. She saved my life.

Dr. Donahue is very professional and genuinely cares about her patients. I don't mind the waiting cause I know the patient before is getting the very best care. In turn so will I. In our very rushed world it is rare to find a doctor that isn't on the clock that takes the time to listen and explain. When you leave her office you know exactly what is going on with your eyes. I love that.

Dr. Donahue is great, the staff is very friendly! The frustrating part, is every time with no exaggeration after the tech has examined myself or my teens we almost 2 hours. It doesn’t matter if there is 1 or 2 of us we are going to wait in that middle lobby for almost 2 hours. This is a waste of a day. We have missed appointments coming to an “eye appointment”. We did this week, my son had a normal eye appointment his eyes had even stayed the same. So nothing complicated. I’m just writing a review bc I over heard others discussing the same experience.
