I had both anterior hip replacement surgeries on both my hips, one may 2018 and the other October 2018. It is now March 2019 and I am walking 2 miles a day pain free! Dr. Donaldson was a blessing from God.

If there was a no chance in haide stab, I would select it. He's an arrogant jerk who needs to go back to school. He did 2 hop REVISION surgeries, Both failed. I had to go to Cedars in LA. so they could fix the hillbillies' screwup plus I contracted staph and MRSA . no I wouldn't refer him. He terrorizes his staff to the point where they act like beaten dogs.

I had a need replacement by Dr. Thomas Donaldson. He put in the wrong sized prothesis. It was a trial prothesis and would be deemed a 'failure' if any surgery occurred prior to 12 months following replacement. My knee couldn't straighten nor bend. After 5 months of Oxacontin (not a problem with him) I obtained three different 2nd-opinions: Kaiser Fontana, Garey Orthopedic, and Dr. Wm. Long Los Angeles. All stated I needed immediate revision. Thank you to Dr. Wm Long for saving my knee!

Saw this doctor on June 21, 2017. Had seen him 3 times in 2-3 years for knee replacement. This doctor really needs professional help when it comes to bed manners. Before 10 minutes passed while asking him relevant questions re surgery he became verbally abusive stating he has not time to babysit people and to go elsewhere and mentioned his ERIN nurse assistant (?) who I went to see 2 months earlier to walk me through the surgery. I do not seriously recommend anybody to see this doctor..

Dr. Donaldson has done both of my Hips. I can't believe that my the 4 weeks I was driving. After my surgery I had so little pain not enough to complain about. I did what I was told to do and it paid off. I do very thing now even after 4 years that I did before both of my surgery's. I knew after my first appointment that I was in great hands. He explained every little detail of the surgery and made sure all of my questions were answered. What a wonderful and caring man.

The office staff are hard to deal with. Don't leave a message and expect it to be delivered. Dr. Donaldson is to busy to look at the details he passes it on to his P.A. that will prescribe medication without looking at what you are taking. I became very ill due to drug interaction. I called Dr. Donaldson's office and left the message, and waited for the return call that never came. They lost my message about the drug interaction. Trying to get a script refilled is way past hard.

Wonderful and caring. Second knee replacement, so knew what to expect. I would not go to another Dr. for any orthopedic procedure.. One caveat, problems trying to get a response from the office for appointments, refills and P.T.extensions not so good.
