Tucson, AZ | Jul 19, 2017

Dr. Donnelly is an amazing doctor. She takes the time to really listen to your concerns or questions and gives you an understandable response. Dr. Donnelly is very up to speed on current practices and offers suggestions. She really knows her stuff. In addition, she always treats her patients with kindness and respect and she is patient when my mother-in-law asks lots of questions. Would definitely refer her to family and friends (even though she currently is not accepting new patients).

great experience, love the staff very joyful

-Chris Novak in tucson, az | May 25, 2017

I have been a patient of Dr. Donnelly for so long I don't remember when I began. She is just lovable, I trust her decisions, she gives great advice on health issues, listens to my many questions with patience, I also like her medical assistants, the girls who check you in at the front desk. All around pleasant experience. I have and will continue to recommend her to family and friends,

-paige maier-bunas in tucson, arizona | Aug 24, 2016

Dr. Donnelly has been my PCP for over 10 years, and is truly the BEST doctor I've ever been blessed to have. She is kind, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. I'm glad that she is younger than I because I don't ever want another doctor. Once you've had the best service money can buy, you don't want to go back to less.. Also, her staff members are also fantastic!

Mesa, AZ | Aug 03, 2016

She is one of the few doctors left that really care about her patients.

Tucson, AZ | Feb 05, 2016

Worst experience with a PCP ever! After being seen by her PA Janna Clark I was told that I would have referrals to a neurologist and pain management for my MS and severe migraines and chronic insomnia within a week. That was the day before Thanksgiving. After almost a month and a half II still had not heard anything and was in a lot of pain so called. They NEVER sent out the referrals at all! They never return calls, but if they do it is days later, and always a nurse, not the PA or doctor.

-Francis SUMBA in Tucson, AZ | Jan 31, 2016

Dr. Donnelly has been my PCP for over ten years. That alone means I am very happy as her patient. She is kind, caring and takes time to understand her patient's problem and needs first before attempting to prescribe anything. Most importantly, she treats her patients like family. Whether it is been weeks or a few years before seeing her, she makes the visit as friendly and warm as thought you only saw her yesterday. I always look forward to my appointments with Dr. Donnelly. - Francis Sumba

-Mary in Tucson | Jan 27, 2016

Dr. Donnelly is a wonderful doctor. Amazing bedside manner. Her patients are treated with great respect. She is very caring and takes a sincere interest in her patients. I never feel rushed. Her entire office works together extremely well. She also has a wonderful sense of humor, which for me, puts me at ease.

-Bernadette Croteau in Tucson, AZ | Dec 23, 2015

Dr. D. is great. She takes the time with you and listens. She is a very caring Dr. and if you have any questions she or her nursing staff will help you. I highly recommend her!!!!

What is medical malpractice
What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is issued when negligence by a doctor causes injury to a patient. For example, a doctor may improperly diagnose, treat or medicate outside the standard of medical care. The three types of malpractice are: a settlement, an arbitration award, or a judgment.
If my doctor has malpractice history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact the quality of care you receive. Claim settlements and arbitration awards may occur for a variety of reasons, which should not necessarily reflect negatively on the doctor's professional competence or conduct.
You may want to use this information to start a discussion with the doctor about his or her history and specific ability to provide healthcare for you.
How far back does Healthgrades malpractice history go?
Healthgrades reports details of a doctor’s malpractice history when the doctor has at least one closed medical malpractice claim within the last five years, even if he or she no longer practices in that state.
For which states does Healthgrades collect malpractice history?
Healthgrades collects malpractice information from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact your quality of care. Sometimes multiple states report the same claim. If a provider practices in a state where data is unavailable, please reach out to your local state legislature to help make this data publicly available.
0
Sanctions
No sanctions history found for the years that Healthgrades collects data.
What is a sanction or disciplinary action
What is a sanction or disciplinary action?
A sanction, also known as a disciplinary action, is an action taken to punish or restrict a doctor who has demonstrated professional misconduct. Sanctions may be imposed by a state medical board, professional medical licensing organization, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
If my doctor has sanction history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If a doctor has a sanction, it does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor-quality doctor. Some sanctions are not related to medical care, and involve a doctor’s finances or administrative activities. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, we recommend that you evaluate the doctor’s sanction information and determine how severe or relevant you think the sanction cause and action were.
How far back does Healthgrades sanction history go?
Healthgrades reports state and federal sanctions from the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.
For which states does Healthgrades collect sanction history?
Healthgrades collects sanction history from all 50 U.S. states. Physicians with a disciplinary action in one state may move to another state where they have a clean record. Since Healthgrades painstakingly compiles disciplinary action information from all 50 states, Healthgrades website will show if a physician has a disciplinary action in more than one state.
0
Board Actions
No board actions found for the years that Healthgrades collects data.
What are board actions
What are board actions?
Board actions are non-disciplinary actions imposed upon a doctor based on a complaint investigation. A patient or medical colleague may file a complaint with that state medical board or professional licensing organization, which then investigates the complaint. Board actions are intended to ensure that a doctor is able to perform safe medical and health care tasks.
Types of non-disciplinary actions include an advisory letter, a corrective action agreement, a limitation or restriction on the medical or healthcare tasks a doctor can perform, or a voluntary agreement by the doctor not to practice. A board action can also include a termination of a corrective action agreement or voluntary agreement, which allows the doctor to return to full practice.
If my doctor has a board action, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If a doctor has a board action, it means he or she has had a non-disciplinary action imposed upon him or her. It does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor quality doctor. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, evaluate the doctor's board action information and determine how severe or relevant you think the cause and action were.
How far back does Healthgrades non-disciplinary board action history go?
Healthgrades reports non-disciplinary board action history from for the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.
For which states does Healthgrades collect non-disciplinary board actions?
Healthgrades collects non-disciplinary board actions from all 50 U.S. states.
