Reviews
"He does not respect appointments or patients. We had an appointment at 2:15 pm. We waited outside until 2:40 pm, and when we entered the examination room, we stayed until 3:20 pm until no one said, “What is the reason for the delay or apology?” This is evidence of a lack of respect for patients, and then we left the clinic. Without seeing anyone"
"I gave 5 Stars for Honesty, successful Surgery, and Rehab ad Mercy Hospital at 71 Years Old!! Getting Stronger Every Day! After Surgery was the Weakest that I ever was in my life. Still doing Therapy but getting Better Each Day….."
"I only gave one star because I didn’t have the option to give zero stars! Dr Donaldson was the worst doctor! I went there for a back injury, he supposedly looked at my mri and X-rays and told me there was nothing wrong with me. I had a great back for a 45 year old.( he said the radiologist reports were overreaches) so after a few months I went to see another back surgeon. And he said I had a fracture and two extremely herniated discs at L4-L5 and L5- S1. With severe nerve damage. And now have to have major surgery! This is what happens when doctors are in the insurance companies pockets. Would never recommend Dr Donaldson or anyone in his practice to anyone!!"
"Don't be afraid to get your mechanical issues fixed here. :) Dr. William Donaldson and his team have done My father's spinal fusion, My l4,5 s1 excavation, my mothers neck and shoulder, my father-in-laws neck and hand. We're living testament to their skill and care. Enjoy your stay, kick your feet back or be on the way."
"Had cervical surgery a while back. One of the, if not the best, doctor I have ever had. Very knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients. Will do all he can to help you no matter what your circumstance is. Never lose hope, most of mine was gone until I found Dr. Donaldson."
