Dr. Donna Osikowicz Donoghue, MD

Dr. Donaghue is likely one of the most skilled Psychiatrists in Suffolk. She is a kind, caring, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable clinician. I would happily and confidently reccomend her to anyone seeking services. However, for multiple reasons beyond her control, the outpatient clinic, a Mather Hospital satellite, has a myriad of problematic obstacles for patients. The current affiliation with Northwell Health has only served to exacerbate the underlying issues that impact quality of care. Extremely long wait times, due to overbooking by administrators, result in face to face sessions rarely exceeding 5 to 10 minutes. The patients may wait in excess of 2 hours, which is well worth it to see Dr. Donaghue, however arriving more than 20 minutes late results in being rescheduled. No clinic should regard the clinicians time to be more valuable than the clients. If you miss an appointment, you will receive a harsh warning letter. Dr. Donaghue needs a private practice of her own!

Awesome. Gives each pt individual attention so she often runs late but she will never push you out the door when you are in crisis. Makes you feel like your problems really are her concern as well. Will wait the extra time. She is worth it.

Dr. Donoghue is an excellent Dr. professional and caring, she really goes the extra mile. Always takes her time and she is very patient!
