Throughout my experience with Dr. Donnan, I was diagnosed with cyclic vomiting syndrome, and I was impressed by her ability to stay current with the latest advancements and research in gastroenterology, including this relatively rare condition. Her dedication to continuing education ensures that she is well-equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, even those that may have emerged recently or are less commonly seen. Beyond her extensive knowledge, Dr. Donnan's approach to patient care is truly remarkable. She prioritizes building a strong doctor-patient relationship, taking the time to listen attentively to my concerns and providing thorough explanations of my diagnosis and treatment options for cyclic vomiting syndrome. Dr. Donnan's compassionate and empathetic nature instills confidence and trust in her patients, especially those dealing with complex and challenging conditions like cyclic vomiting syndrome. Not only does Dr. Donnan excel in clinical expertise, but she also exhibits exceptional communication skills. She effectively communicates complex medical information related to cyclic vomiting syndrome in a clear and understandable manner, ensuring that I was fully informed about the nature of my condition and the various treatment strategies available. Her commitment to patient education is evident, as she willingly answered my questions and provided additional resources to help me better understand cyclic vomiting syndrome and actively participate in managing my condition. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Donnan as a gastroenterologist who goes above and beyond in delivering exceptional care, especially for patients with complex conditions like cyclic vomiting syndrome.

5.0 star star star star starShe seems very knowledgeable and skilled and I am happy she is my doctor. The only reason I didn’t give a perfect 10 is because she did not release my biopsy results until 6 days after the pathology report was finalized, and it was a long and anxious wait. However, I completely understand that all doctors probably have a backlog and she might have taken time off. Also, I am used to results being released automatically before the doctor comments on them, so that’s probably why it felt like a longer than usual wait for me. I completely understand why she does not release the results until she can comment on them.

External Professional Relationships
