I had a very informative and personable meeting with Dr. Donaton concerning my orthopedic options. Not only did I find Dr. Donato to be knowledgeable and professional, he was able to explain my options in such a way that made my treatment discission easy.

I thought I was going to see Dr. Donate but instead I saw someone else. I wish they would have told me that I was not going to see the doctor which I had made my appointment with. I’m not happy about that at all.

Everyone you encounter from the time you check in to the time you check out are amazing and Dr. Donato is one of the most caring, compassionate Doctors, who takes his time and listens to you. Wouldn’t go to anyone else!

Dr Donato saw me recently for my shoulder and gave a me shot. It has kicked in and has been very helpful.
He’s already attentive and listens to you.
He also fixed my labral tear in my hip in 2020. I’m very grateful to have him as my surgeon!
