Reviews
Charming specialist with very good bedside manner that made me feel confident and comfortable for James to operate on my knee
At initial assessment Mr Donaldson explained my options clearly. When I had decided on a surgical approach the process of organising the procedure was straightforward. My care during my inpatient stay was exemplary. Mr Donaldson was confident in his manner and put me at ease. The surgery has been a total success. I cannot thank Mr Donaldson enough!
Mr Donaldson is an experienced surgeon with a great bedside manner. He explained every step of the process from diagnostic to post-op review in an easy to understand way and was very open to addressing any questions. He is a consummate professional. Altogether a very good experience. Well done!
Mr Donaldson gave me confidence to have this operation which was important as I had never previously had a major operation.
A real privilege to have had a hip revision procedure with such a skilled and caring surgeon as Mr Donaldson. After only 5 weeks I am fully mobile and pain free….excited and grateful to continue with an active lifestyle!
Polite and friendly manner and explained the matter ion hand easily.
Quick, to the point good bedside manner and realistic on recovery time
I was very confident and reassured about my problem, a really nice person.
Mr Donaldson was friendly and put me at my ease. He listened without interruption while l explained the problems l was having. Then he explained about the operation l would be having, giving the positive outcome as well as explaining the possible risks. He made sure l was okay with all the information before I left him.
