Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Just the best
I only had to wait a week for an appointment. He saw me without a wait in a very clean, pleasant office- he ordered an urgent MRI, which I scheduled the next morning ( Go UCLA!!) and he then video called me about treatment options that day! In 36 hours, I had an initial visit, an MRI and a treatment plan! He then followed up to make sure I had an appointment with orthopedics promptly- the next week. So pleased I picked UCLA for my care- and so lucky to have found Dr. D

Great doctor.
I feel that he's an empathetic and caring doctor that really wants to help his patients. He takes the time to listen to how I feel, without trying to rush me through it. I never feel rushed or dismissed.He has been very on top of my treatment from symptom relief to conducting imaging and referrals as needed. He is thorough and on top of things. He also very responsive. He takes the time to respond.I feel that he is the best doctor of any speciality that I've had.The front office is also nice as well.

Great experience.
Dr. Donohoe made me feel at ease and has great bedside manner. He explained all my issues clearly and did not immediately say that surgery was required. In fact surgery was only discussed when I brought it up. Trying PT, and other non invasive options. I will continue to use him and recommend him for all my orthopedic needs!

Thank you!!!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Donohoe for almost 6 months now after a hip injury. I was told by another doctor that I would need surgery and was NOT happy about it. Dr. Donohoe was so great about explaining my injury to me clearly, helping me to understand what all my treatment options were, and listening to my concerns. I ultimately decided to try an injection first, and am happy to say that I’ve been back to my normal self ever since! He’s been so kind and supportive during a really hard time for me, and I can’t say how much I appreciate it. Thank you, Dr. D!!!

No more pain
My knee has been hurting me for years. After 2 visits with Dr. Donohoe and an injection, the pain is gone. He takes the time to listen and offer different options for treatment. Very thorough and personable.

Miracle worker
I saw Dr. Donohoe for shoulder pain that I’ve lived with for many years. He performed a non-invasive procedure called tenotomy for my rotator cuff and my pain has completely gone away after two months! I could not be happier with the care I received from Dr. Donohoe and his staff. I will continue recommending him to my friends and family - he’s a miracle worker.
