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.

I have a Lipoma under my rib cage. He wanted to do a cat scan on my pelvic area. Not my rib. Then he wrote a letter to my do tor stating that my pain was not near my Lipoma. I stated to him several times, I was not in pain that it was pressure. Not 1 time did I tell him I was in pain. So when I got a hold of the office the lady I talked to was very rude. I even told her again that it's not pain it's pressure. I told her if they was not going to do the cat scan on my ribs then we need to cancel it. She said canceled and hung up the phone. It think he is an insurance Rip off. I would not recommend him. Find a different surgeon. He did not listen to anything I told him at my visit. Also one of the ladies told me that he wanted to explore. Explore what. He didn't want to explore my problem with my rib cage. No he wanted to explore something else. I just had a cat scan of my pelvic area. Why do I need him to do another one!

Very Good Surgeon
Dr. Donovan performed hernia surgery and most recently removed a large cyst from my back. He communicates every step of the procedure and makes you confident that you are in good hands. He is very efficient and effective so that recovery is quick and painless.
