Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

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

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very kind, passionate and knowledgeable. She spends her time to listen to you and make sure all of your questions and concerns are addressed. I recommend Dr. Donate to anyone who is looking for a new primary doctor.

If only there were 6 or maybe 7 stars for Kristen. She has proven to be more conscientious and attentive than my past physicians each and every time I see her. She spent immense time to sort out and prioritize my treatment plans for simultaneous myriad afflictions. The doc that backs her up and as wonderful. I’m delighted I chose her as my primary care physician. You’ll be as well. Nurses and support staff are exemplary in every way.

Unbelievably patient. I walked in a mess, loaded with questions and concerns and she took the time to not only answer every question but include me in my plan. Her heart is in her job and you do not come across that very often these days.

Competent, kind and thorough are three words that come to mind when describing Dr. Kristen Donato. In this world where kindness is in such short supply, it is comforting to have a gentle, caring person for your physician. And she really does care, you feel it when she talks to you. She listens closely to your history, answers all your questions, and makes you feel a part of your own medical treatment by patiently explaining things, but never dictating. I strongly recommend Dr. Kristen Donato!

Absolutely loved her! Dr. Donato was genuine, knowledgeable and pleasant and I felt immediately at ease while discussing my issues with her. She gave her undivided attention while listening to my concerns and allowed as much time as we needed. I really appreciated her practice of "treating the patient as a whole" and factoring my individual lifestyle patterns into an appropriate plan to fit my needs. She is also an advocate for natural methods approach and was a truly a breathe of fresh air!
