Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

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

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 been using this practice for more than 20 years. Dr. Donat and his wife Susan, and the nurse practitioner are very caring and will lister to your needs, as well as on call availability. Despite being a very busy practice,I have not found the wait time unreasonable and if I have to wait, it’s totally worth it! No complaints about this practice ever.
