Dr. Donatello has treated three generations of my family, and I trust him 100% with my health care decisions. He’s kind, compassionate and a good listener. But most importantly, he’s a fantastic doctor that takes his time with his patients. Dr. Donatello and his staff are top-rated by my family. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I can't thank Dr. Donatello enough. After a year of trying to find out what was happening to my body. I saw Dr. Donatello two times about my problem. He said he felt it could be rheumatoid arthritis. After a testing me, and finding a positive result, he immediately recommended Dr. Robert Katz, of Rush Hospital, and I'm doing so much better. Thank you Dr Donatello, for caring so much.
