I'm not sure where to begin. I chose this doctor for a couple of reasons. First, he participated in my insurance plan. Secondly, his training was at a very very good hospital and his office was not far from my home. Dr. Donato is professional, compassionate, knowledge and a host of other adjectives that should have you making an appt asap. I recently lost my dad and when I began to share the experience, Dr. Donato put down his pen, leaned back in his chair and held such empathic space for me to cry and express my grief. I was in his care for an hour and my appt was right on time. He walked me through the exam and then went through every option to remediate my issues. He is caring and kind, patient and down to earth. I feel lucky to have him as my doctor.
Dr. Ghacibeh and his team were absolutely amazing in helping our infant son. He unfortunately had uncontrollable spasms which, due to my family history, we thought may have been epilepsy. After multiple EEG tests, Dr. Ghacibeh was able to determine he had a very rare issue that was curable with simple medication. 2 months later, he is completely issue-free. While we are extremely grateful that Dr. Ghacibeh could solve the issue, the main thing that impressed us was how kind and helpful him and his staff (Safwan and Lyndsey) were throughout the whole process. It's not easy doing this for an infant but they were beyond caring and professional during everything. Our son was comfortable the whole time, thanks in large part to the care that everyone showed. I cannot recommend this practice enough!!
My husband has been going to Dr Connors for six years. He had very bad tremors in his head and couldn't stop it from shaking. Dr Connors was the only one who could help him. He listens, very caring just a great dr. Staff is very helpful and pleasant. I wish I can give him a rating of 10..
