The practice was great! The reception was lovely, and once I'd filled out the survey for new patients, I was seen almost right away. In addition to the help I got in house, he also gave me exercises to do on my own so that I wouldn't need to come back as often.

After going to a physical therapist with no luck we decided to try a chiropractor. Dr. Donahue identified the problem with my fiancé’s arm pain immediately and cured her in a couple of sessions. Highly recommended! Hopefully we won’t be back but we know we’re in good hands if the pain does come back!

They went above and beyond for me today!
December 3, 2015Amy A.Verified patient
Dr. Donahue is a great chiropractor and really works to give you holistic care. His adjustments leave me feeling better than ever, but the key difference in his care is how he gives you stretches and exercises that build strength and correct imbalances. One of the best doctors I've ever had!
August 19, 2015Kiersten M.Verified patient
Dr. Donahue is personable, professional and an overall great doctor. Instead of just adjusting patients he asked for a full history and moved through different physical movements to assess pain, discomfort, and/or changes. He gave me stretches and active exercises to do in between visits. My hip has not bothered me since the first time I saw him and has only improved. Awesome Doc!!
July 8, 2015Kiersten M.Verified patient
He was great! I'm very active so I love how sports-minded he was and wasn't quick to bring my activity to a halt. He really took the time to diagnose me and gave me some exercises to bring home. I already felt better walking out the door!
More than 1 year agoBrooke T.Verified patient
He's the best! He's very intelligent! He knows how to explains things in a way that u would understand. He's very thorough in examining what the problem is and tells u what u should do how u should do it and the whatever the reason behind. I lov this doctor very wonderful!!!
