Dr. Donahue performed a total knee replacement for me 3 weeks ago today. He helped me through the decision process leaving the final decision with me. He was very informative about the surgery, what I should expect and answered all of my questions. This is a painful recovery but I am ahead of schedule and very pleased with his care and also that of his staff. They are all top notch in my book and I would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends!

I had misgivings about doing my knee replacement in a hospital as small as Hayward. Now, I wouldn't have it done anywhere else. Dr. Donohue is an extremely well experienced and competent surgeon. Everything about the procedure was done perfectly, and may I say, painlessly. Barbara Bowman in his office, the anesthesiologists, the care staff for my overnight stay, the physical therapy follow-ups ... every part of the experience was done with great skill and kindness and professionalism. Every professional visited me bedside, e... read more

Dr. Donoghue cared for me while he practiced in suburban Chicago. He informed me obut the surgery and recovery, answered all of my questions, and performed successful surgery.

I am usually skeptical about surgery (because I understand that hospitals are a business as well as being a caregiver), so I was glad to hear from Dr. Donahue that surgery for my knee was "optional". I decided to take his advice and have him do a meniscus repair (and other things) even having read that it may not help in older people. I could not be happier with the care I was given and the results. No pain after the procedure (or anytime) and back to near normal in 10 days! I would highly recommend him (and his staff).

I would recommend Dr. Donahue to anyone, including any member of my family. He was professional and knowledgeable with a wonderful bedside manner. He was very patient with me once we had the MRI results and decisions had to be made. He has a sports ortho background too which I appreciate as I am very active and he understood getting active soon was important to me. I had an amount of displacement in my ankle fracture where I could or could not have surgery. He made the decision easy for me by giving me the pros and cons. I w... read more

Dr. Donahue repaired my broken tibia and fibula. The tibia was in pieces. He explained the injury and what needed to be done in a professional and friendly manner. He took the time to call my husband at home to explain the situation due to COVID restriction. The surgery went very well. At the follow up appointments he explained how my healing was progressing and he took the time to answer my questions. His staff was also friendly and professional. I have and would strongly recommend Dr. Donahue!

Dr. Donahue was thorough, patient, and took the time to explain everything to me. I was very anxious about my fall injury and he calmed me down. I went to the ER in the evening and he saw me the next morning and scheduled surgery within 3 days.

the care I got from dr. Donahue was great, within 4 days of meniscus surgery I was walking 5 miles a day, my knee feels great. I would recommend him for any orthopedic surgery.
