My care team is excellent in every way possible.
Dr Donovan is the best oncology surgeon possible. She is kind, empathetic , knowledgeable and a top notch surgeon. Legacy Is fortunate to have her. There are not enough positive adjectives to use for her. She stays with you at a very difficult time.
Best Doctor I've ever had
Dr Donovan is a great a Doctor, she is very easy to talk to and listens carefully. Her office is very accommodating and very easy to get a scheduled for appointment.
Dr. Donavan is the best. I love her and the care she provides.
Everything about my encounter with Dr. Donovan, the office and staff was very positive. Dr. Donovan took the time to explain exactly what was going on in such a way that I understood. I could not be more impressed.
I am very grateful for Dr Donavan and her whole staff . They are a breath of fresh air in todays world.I could not be in better hands.
The longer wait time to see the Dr was because the patient before me needed extra care and time. They kept me apprised, apologized frequently, and made sure I was taken care of while I waited. I was not put out or upset.
I was very relaxed and was listened to.
Dr Donovan is the full package. She cares, she listens, she holds your hand during a cancer diagnosis . She's an accomplished surgeon. Legacy is lucky to have her as are all her patients
Dr. Donavan is a fantastic surgical oncologist. I couldn't have asked for better.
Dr Donovan is competent, professional and caring. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon.
Good communication, friendly warm demeanor, knowledgeable and prepared.
Dr. Donovan was extremely knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and caring. She explained the issues I had thoroughly and discussed her thoughts and plans on moving forward with my care. Front desk staff were friendly, efficient, and very personable. Couldn't ask for a better health care experience. I will be recommending this office to all I know.
This was a 'second opinion' after a difficult situation. Everyone stepped up to help with my problem. They were absolutely great.
Dr. Donovan took my concerns and questions into consideration immediately upon meeting me back In October. She was encouraging, honest, and kind. She gave me options and supported my choices. I was blessed that she was my surgical oncologist, it saved my life.
Love this doctor and her staff
Dr Cory and her entire staff are just incredible. I simply cannot say enough good about them: with regard to skill, knowledge and patient care they are outstanding.
Legacy has found the best oncology breast surgeon in the USA. Dr Cory Donovan is not only a skilled surgeon. She is kind, empathetic, explains options and treatments. She holds your hand during this whole scary process. I am extremely lucky to have found her.
Dr. Donovan and team are incredible and have gone above and beyond in providing care for me.I'm so grateful to be Dr. Donovan's patient.
Dr Donovan and her staff are amazing! You are so lucky to have them on your team.
Dr. Donovan is friendly and compassionate! She takes the time to listen to my concerns, and address them. She's amazing!!!
Dr Donovan has an amazing bedside manner and the fact that she has experienced breast cancer herself means she is extremely empathetic towards her patients. She involves her patients in major treatment decisions, doesn't take patient concerns lightly, and generally makes the cancer journey less scary for her patients.
Excellent service from Dr. Donovan and her team! Thank you very much!
She was wonderful!! Understanding, helpful, listened well and cared! Just as a provider should be and more
This was hands down the best doctor I have ever seen. Dr. Donovan and staff absolutely care about their clients and patients and it shows! I am so relieved to have found a good team for my case. Thank you!!
Dr Donovan explained my diagnosis, suggested surgery and treatment in language I could understand. She drew pictures to help explain what was going on in my body. She answered my many questions. She was kind, courteous, and extremely pleasant. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.
Dr Donovan and her team are very supportive, they make you feel safe and always take the time to explain every question a patient can have.
Dr Donovan is a very compassionate and caring person. She is very knowledgeable in her area of practice. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing her expertise.
Delay in seeing provider was because her assistant was very thorough with the intake information.
Absolutely love Dr. Donovan. She is caring, friendly, smart and pays attention to what you have to say. She answers all questions and makes you feel good about your treatment. ( especially Cancer treatment) she is one of a kind. I am grateful for her.
Dr. Donovan is an excellent physician and surgeon! She is extremely knowledgeable and very professional while showing genuine compassion and empathy. She is the best cancer provider I could've hoped for.
Dr. Donovan is very caring and professional.
Dr. Donovan is by far one of the best Doctors I have seen since moving to WA 2 years ago. She actually listens to the patient and genuinely seems to care. I had no concerns or doubts of her abilities or the procedures I went through with her. I cannot say that about ANY other doctors I have seen in WA. I love and appreciate doctors who treat ME and MY needs not treat me as a number and with the "basic standard of care" that doesn't always apply to or is what's best for the patient.
Dr. Donovan was wonderful! She was so kind and even drew pictures to help explain what is going on in my breast.
From start to finish thus far my expectations have been exceeded. The staff was very personable and friendly and Dr. Donavan also exceeded expectations.....she was very patient and at no time made me feel like she was in a rush. It was a good first interaction and I am very grateful. Prior to meeting Dr. Donavon I did have a little issue with the radiology dept that I would like to bring to your attention. Please call or email to discuss. Some suggestons for improvement in this terrifying process of being initially diagnosed with cancer.
