    Superb and trusted physician!

    Outstanding Doctor. I have complete trust and confidence in Dr. Donato. He was my wife’s surgeon and she was extremely pleased with the results. He gave an honest assessment and provided a viable course of action. Great integrity!!

    too long a wait, but EXCELLENT doctor

    he performed some diagnostic tests, reviewed previous records, was a PLEASURE to work with and have him care for me. The only problem was the LONG wait to get in to see him. but he was worth waiting for.

    Dr Donato is very easy to converse with.

    Apparently I misunderstood information from my previous appointment with Dr Byrd. I have complete faith at Dr Donato is going to help me get it straightened out. I drive 2+ hours to see Dr Donato as I reside in North Carolina.

    Exceptional!!!

    I think Dr. Donato and his staff are phenomenal. I always feel very comfortable in coming in as they are such good listeners and in tune with patients. Would highly recommend Dr. Donato and Atlantic orthopedics.

    Professional but friendly and engaging

    I’ve had only positive interactions with Dr. Donato. He comes across not only as a competent orthopedic surgeon, but also as a kind, caring individual who truly cares for his patients.

    Very pleased overall, friendly, thorough and communicates well

    I had a bit of a wait at first but then I realized why after meeting the Dr. Very thorough in communicating and understanding how and when my injury happened and a course of action needed for recovery. I feel hopeful for the first time in 4 months that I'm finally with the right practice

    Post surgery visit was good.

    I was happy to get the shoulder sling taken off. My physical therapy has progressed very well. I am most grateful to Cindy Cooper and James Scott for their help in the physical therapy program.

    Kind, professional, thorough

    Dr. Donato answered my questions and addressed my concerns thoroughly. He was very nice and authentic. He made sure to get x-rays first, then go over them with me. He asked for more background information. Then he gave an honest, realistic treatment plan for short-term and long-term. I would definitely recommend him!

    Awesome.

    It’s great having a Dr that actually takes the time and explains everything. Knowing how busy Dr. Donato is, he never acts like he is Right aging you out the door. Have recommended him to a couple friends for hip problems.

    Very positive from my first visit with a PA to my last visit with the doctor

    He was very detailed din his assessment and explained in great detail the issues I was experiencing and why. He provided several options of choice and encouraged me to use the Walk to Run program to prepare for an upcoming physical agility test
