Took his time to listen to my concerns

Very helpful, thorough and pleasant. Also patient and understanding.

Great doctor.

I really appreciated that Dr. Donaldson explained what he was doing every step of the way.

The best for my knee. He takes great care of my knee and I am pain free.

Great confidence and respect his opinion and referrals

Very helpful and took the time in talking about different options available with pros and cons and plan to move forward.

Just the start but I got excellent flings that I was in good hands.

Best in the business!

Dr. Donaldson took time and explained my injury, then treated it

excellent communication. I don't like needles & have a tendency to talk during needle processes & he was very professional & kind during it. the nurses were excellent t too.

Dr Donaldson takes the time to listen. He has great people skills and answers all questions.

Takes into consideration patient's concerns while performing a thorough assessment of the situation.

Excellent follow-up. Thorough and attentive.

Very personable professional doctor with excellent people skills!

He has such a wonderful personality and takes the time to listen and CARES!!

Very personable, informative, & listened to my concerns.

Outstanding experience. Would highly recommend Dr Donaldson.

Was taken on time and got a good explanation of my issue. Also was given a plan to hopefully help with a solution to my problem. He was very professional.

Very kind and personable doctor. He explained everything well and the procedure he did was basically painless.

He kept speaking of shoulder injury, surgery and I told him more than 5 times I had no shoulder pain, but rather shoulder "blade". He refused an injection, which is what Dr. Mounayer referred me. He offered a "risky" procedure that he has performed 80 of. No thank you. Very let down and unhappy for the second time I was referred to him.

Great doctor and friendly staff. Highly recommend Dr Donaldson 👍😀

Very helpful

He spent time going over options for my knee. Very professional.

Pays attention to my complaints, easy to talk to and understand.

I appreciated Dr. Donaldson’s expertise, and I have confidence in his ability and advice. However, he kept me waiting for about 50 minutes with no explanation for the delay, and that is not good. I hope that he will be more prompt on my follow-up visit.

I made an appointment to see Dr. Donaldson. I told the woman that set up the appointment about my situation. I have had knee replacements. I was worried because my left knee was buckling on occasion. She recommended Dr. Donaldson. I filled out the online questionnaire about my health. I included all my surgeries that I’ve had previously including the knee replacements. I drove from Lake Orion down to the Southfield office. When I was put in the examination room they said they were going to x-ray my knees. A woman came in and said she had to talk to me and told me that Dr. Donaldson does not see patients that have had previous knee replacements. It was a total waste of my time and it is unbelievable that I would’ve filled out all the proper information almost a week prior to my examination and no one bothered to tell me that Dr. Donaldson did not see former knee replacement patients

Very nice, I felt comfortable.

Dr. Donaldson takes his time, listens to his patient's concerns, and answers his/her questions clearly and fully!

Good Doctor!! Great Communicator!!

Wonderful!

Very friendly,answered all of my questions with a very thoughtful answers made me very comfortable with what he was going to do

Great caring Doctor

Answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable with the procedure and what to expect with the outcome.

Very intelligent. He Listened to me and understood my conditions and then explained my treatment plan with me in detail that I understood. He was a breath of fresh air in today's world for a Chronic pain patient who has been unfortunate to have spine & neck issues from an accident they never asked for, who has been on opioid therapy for over 20 years. He was very respectful of that fact, he not once spoke down to me, nor gaslit me, unfortunately too many within the Beaumont (Corwell now) Health System has. He treated me individually and in the best possible way. He is a great & compassionate doctor, very thorough. We need more doctors such as him back in the medical field. Doctors who do not automatically look down on someone for taking life giving medications. In my eyes and thousands of others suffering, medications no different than any other that allows someone a quality of life. To be able to function and care for themselves & family on a daily basis.

Very personable, professional & thorough.

Always professional and so kind!

Dr. Donaldson is an amazing doctor. I know I am not an easy patient when I'm scared and confused. I truly felt hopeless about my condition after the worst painful episode and he explained my future is bright and there will be have bad days but he anticipates more good days than bad if I do the hard work. He also explained this episode isn't over, which I thought it was, that I need to remember I'm not there yet. I love how patient he is with me, because I'm navigating a crazy painful episode and I'm trying to understand it and be well.
