WE loved Dr. Donoway. He explained everything to us very well. We saw him just before having the Nanokinife surgery and multiple times afterwards to explain the process and what to do after the procedure.He was very reachable when I needed him and replied to all my texts as was questions. He would set up phone meetings when needed.

From Michigan from Nanoknife (IRE)

Dr. Donoway and his team are simply wonderful. From beginning consultations to following surgery they were the most responsive, more caring and knowledgeable team. The hospital and the staff were so helpful, caring and wonderful as well. The reassurance and confidence we received in moving forward with Dr. Donoway's support is worth it all. We are forever grateful.

From the nurses all the way through to the secretary staff, he was treated with kindness and respect. The staff was very attentive. Dr.D was quick to answer any questions or concerns along the way (no matter what the hour). He made himself available to us 24/7 which was very comforting.
Big kuddos and thanks to Dr.D and his team.

Dr. Donoway should give lessons to other doctors on how to communicate with patients. He has been caring, informative, and super accessible by phone. He has been patient with all of our questions. Highly recommend Dr. Donoway. You couldn't find a better doctor when going through pancreatic cancer. Memorial Hospital Staff were friendly, positive, and caring. Nurses Hana and Mimi on 8 Central were outstanding!

We flew in from WA state to see Dr Donoway in Florida. We are thankful and grateful for his transparent communication, always on top of things before and post surgery, and genuine care for me. We trust him with my procedure and glad we made the decision to see him. He has given us hope and another day to fight my stage 4 pancreatic cancer when other surgeons and Oncologist were limited with their standard of care.
