Kelly Donahue has an incredible bedside manner and is dedicated to helping you feel better. I visited her with a sprained ankle last summer and she helped me get back on my feet. She was kind, courteous, answered all my questions and did a thorough examination. Then when I re-sprained my ankle a few months later she promptly ordered an MRI to check for any serious damage. She is an amazing healthcare provider and you are in the best hands with her.
Kelly is an efficient and direct communicator who lays out what you need to know in plain language. She also follows up via email in a way that is helpful without requiring unnecessary trips for in-person follow up visits.

Kelly has always given me sound advice and been a reliable source of information and solutions for nearly two years. She's always brought empathy into the room along with the medical advice and never talks down to me or tries to move things along just to get to the next chart in her stack. And her openness to do telemedicine has been a great asset during the pandemic when I've needed guidance on issues I've had. Can't recommend her enough.
This practice is very together and professional. Kelly is always running on time with her appts. Additionally, she is incredibly responsive on messaging, rx refills, and any concern you might have. She also is great at communicating for different knowledge levels. Which I appreciate very much. She’s been great to work with for my ongoing knee issues.
I first saw Kelly in 2017 when I tore my ACL. I was a college student in the area and needed to see a specialist right away, and Kelly was fantastic. She helped me get an MRI quickly and advised me on surgery, which I had back home a few months later. I have seen her for a myriad of other orthopedic issues since and she is always on time, extremely attentive to any needs/requests, and replies to emails very quickly! Kelly is an awesome provider all around.
If you're looking for an attentive, extremely responsive doctor, Kelly Donohue is it. She really listens and tries to solves problems.
I have been seeing Kelly for almost a year now for some tricky, complicated, and stressful injuries to my back and hip area. Despite the pandemic, she has been extremely accessible and has always made time to see me very quickly, often with short notice. Her bedside manner is impeccable, she is compassionate and truly cares about her patients, not just about the specific issue/injury being addressed, but about their overall health and well-being. I would highly recommend her.
Kelly provides incredible care to her patients. She listens intently and prescribes the right solution to help. I highly recommend Kelly
