Our experience with Dr. Donati Jr. has always been helpful, explanations given and treatment went well. He is very experienced in his field and if he doesn't feel comfortable treating your complaint he will recommend a doctor from the Hughston clinic that can. His staff is always friendly.

Dr Donati has repaired my shoulder, my arm/wrist after I broke it in 26 pcs, and now my knee. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job. I highly recommend Dr. Donati, Ben, and the rest of their team!

My husband and I have been going to Dr Donati for about 8 years and have been treated very well by him and his staff. If you see his NPR Ben be asureed you are getting one of the best. Their wait time is one of the shortest I have ever had at any Doctors office.
