    All questions answered

    I actually saw Dr Donato’s PA. Aimee and I was very satisfied with her expertise and her willingness to spend time with me and answer all my questions. She has a great bedside manner and I felt she was really listening to me and not in a hurry to rush me out of the office. Very happy with our interaction.

    Awesome

    I have seen him for both of my shoulders and a knee. He has done surgery on both of my shoulders and I have never been disappointed. He is a great listener and is very articulate in explaining what he is doing and in answering your question.

    Diagnosed my quad injury

    Dr. Donato took time to evaluate my injury. He also recommended a topical anti-inflammatory, that when combined with a compression sleeve, eliminated the sharp pain altogether.

    A Broken bone is not something anyone wants the doctor Donoto is able to put you back together again.

    My accident happened over the holiday which was unfortunate as it took a while to be seen to get my surgery. However once seen by Dr. Donoto the ball was rolling and Surgery was swift and accurate. The hospital staff and his support team for postop have all been fabulous to Work with.

    You’re more than a number to Dr Donato!

    Dr. Donato did a great job repairing a femur fracture that occurred during a bicycle crash 10 weeks ago. I’ve healed quickly and have had zero complaints or complications during the recovery. Throughout my encounters with him, Dr. Donato took the time to listen carefully to all my questions and provide me with thorough, easy to understand answers in layman’s terms. His upbeat personality helped fill me with optimism throughout a difficult time. Very highly recommended!
