Verified patient
I did not enjoy my visit to this office. Communication to me and apparently within the office seems to be very poor. I didn’t feel like the doctor helped me create a treatment plan so much as give me a list of tasks, and then did not clearly communicate how to carry out those tasks. I was supposed to get a prescription for a BP cuff but did not get it. I also gave labs that I thought were going to be processed while I was in-office, but was told to leave immediately after. I will be changing offices as soon as I can.
First time visit with Dr Donaruma. Chose him based on Zocdoc reviews and I was not disappointed. All the great reviews are accurate. Time with the doctor did not feel rushed. Asked if I had any concerns, and offered a thorough response. Explained the reason behind the care he was recommending. Great bedside manner. Would absolutely recommend to anyone seeking a new PCP who does not make you feel judged and operates an inclusive practice.
Verified patient

Verified patient
Dr. Donaruma actually took the time to listen to me and try to find solutions when I needed a prescription after my previous doctor quit without notice. The front office staff were kind of brusque but Dr. Donaruma was great
Verified patient
The office was very efficient. I didn’t have a long wait time at all. From walking in to filling out the information I needed which was all done on my phone . Less than 5 minutes. The Doctor listened to my concerns and explained everything to me. I would definitely go back. I would rate my over all experience 5 stars.
