Patient Reviews
Dec 29, 2023
I was suffering from degenerative knee joint pain for several years and suddenly was unable to walk. I’m 82 years old with a low pain tolerance. After getting X-rays and MRI, Dr. Donaldson told me my options were surgery or wheelchair. Given the options I was distressed and apprehensive to get surgery. However, my friend had knee surgery done by Dr. Donaldson and had highly recommended me to get it done.Encouraged by family and friends I decided to go with surgery. Dr. Donaldson had a meticulously laid out plan from pre-op to post-op. The day of procedure went smoothly from the moment I entered the hospital. After surgery I went to physical therapy at Inland Empire PT. The team there is well prepared and provided excellent care.I followed Dr. Donaldson’s post-op instructions for 2 months. I am now able to walk without a cane or any other assistance. If you have any fear of surgery, consider seeing Dr. Donaldson and his caring staff, he has become my hero ortho surgeon.
