I had a serious and deadly basil cell carcinoma that luckily was caught just in time. It was also on my arm and I have to admit that I am a bit vain so I did not want any ugly scars. My surgery was quite large and in the end the closure was almost 4" long. My early post op visits with the doctor were concerning regarding scaring as it wasn't pretty to me but the doctor told me that it will be totally fine and to my liking. I knew that he was also a successful plastic surgeon prior to becoming an oncologist so i went with it. I must say that the end result, after the required time to heal has become amazing and I could not be happier, I would only see Dr. Donoway and recommend him to anyone in need of his expertise.

Called for an appointment after a biopsy gave negative results. Was given an appointment the next week. Had a bit of a wait on 1st visit. To be expected when you are being worked in. Dr Donoway was very reassuring and upbeat. He truly cares about his patients. Turned out my procedure be as an outpatient and the results the next week were all negative. Very positive experience. Highly recommend Dr. Donoway and Staff.

Incompetent or careless doctor.
Stay away from this doctor. I had stage 1 breast cancer, with 2 tumors in my right breast. I submitted all necessary test results, including MRI, PAT scan, Mammogram and so on. Dr Donoway assured me that lumpectomy is good procedure for me, it will be easy and my surgery was scheduled on Jan 19,2023. I did all necessary preop tests, took time off from work. On Jan 18, day before surgery I got a call from dr. Donoway office that doctor need to see me right away. In the office, I was informed, that Hospital Radiologist, after reviewing my images, stated that LUMPECTOMY is NOT acceptable procedure and I need mastectomy, and my surgery was cancelled!!!! How Surgeon Oncologist did not see that? Is this is a carelessness or incompetency? Right away I went to see other 2 doctors, opinion was unanimous, it must be Mastectomy! More to that story, Donoway office trying to charge me $50 for January 18, when all what he did is told me, that surgery has to be cancelled! He is charging me for his mi

For the past 9 plus years, Dr. Donoway has treated my mother after successfully performing her pancreatic cancer surgery. Always accessible and responsive to my texts, this doctor is one in a million!! He continues to see her despite the length of time that has gone by since her surgery and remains committed to her care. He has great bedside manner and I continue to recommend him to others that may need his expertise. His commitment to care and excellence is fantastic!!
