Dr Donnelly was able to approve me for radiation even though I’d had partial radiation 18 years ago (Mammosite) which allowed me to have a lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy. Also he approved radiation treatments for only once per day rather than twice per day which has made everything so much easier for me. I appreciate the time and consideration he gave me.

Unlike other doctors I saw for my cancer care, Dr. Donnelly and his team treated me like a real human being. I will be forever grateful for that. Other doctors gave me simplistic, vague information that applies to every single cancer patient. That has resulted in nine procedure related injuries because those doctors totally ignored my morbidities. Unlike them, Dr. Donnelly treated me as an individual. He considered my very individual situation, and made accommodations accordingly. Because of that I felt like I was in safe hands, for the first time.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
