As awarded by Patients’ Choice and based on feedback from satisfied clients, Dr. Jeffrey Donaldson recently received the great honor and distinction of being named one of America’s Most Compassionate Doctors. In the field of plastic surgery, this special recognition is a reflection of how patients felt about the quality of their care and the bedside manner with which they were approached. Other factors that are taken into account include follow-up care, appointment availability, courtesy of the office staff, and the amount of patient-doctor face time that is a part of the experience.

While many physicians often receive positive feedback from their patients, Dr. Donaldson, in his practice as a plastic surgeon, is among just 3% of the nearly 870,000 practicing doctors in the nation who have been awarded this special certification. The patients of Dr. Donaldson were very consistent in offering high praise for the personalized care that they received at his facility.

Patients’ Choice is an online resource where individuals can rate and comment on their favorite practitioners. Now, an icon that denotes the “Compassionate Doctor” distinction appears beside Dr. Donaldson’s name and listing as a plastic surgeon on the Patients’ Choice website.

At 19, Tarah Carr had it all. She recently married her high school sweetheart, Adam, a U.S. Army Green Beret, and gave birth to a beautiful healthy boy, Noah. By her own admission, she should have been happy. Instead, she felt very self-conscious. At 5’2, Carr weighed 162 pounds.

With her husband routinely traveling for work, she sunk into spiraling depression. She rarely left the house. It was time for a change. It was time for a mommy makeover. Using a workout video, she lost 49Ibs in 90 days dropping from a size 14 to 3. Her confidence sizzled, and yet she had come as far as she could on her own. It was time for the finishing touches and she called the office of Dr. Jeffrey Donaldson, a Columbus, Ohio plastic surgeon.

In her blog Tarah openly discusses why she flew from her home in Japan to Donaldson Plastic Surgery to get a breast augmentation with silicone implants, a mastopexy (breast lift) and an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). She notes that he publishes scholarly articles, completed prestigious fellowship programs, teaches medical students, serves as media consultant for top news programs, and even played college football. Tarah wanted the best possible surgeon and outcome, and she felt that selecting Dr. Donaldson was an easy choice.

Today, at 105Ibs, Tarah is a size 00, and is featured on numerous successful workout video series. Her newfound confidence and look has also led to magazine features and infomercials. She credits most of her success to hard work and a little help from her favorite plastic surgeon: Dr. Donaldson!

“This was a personal decision.” Tarah summarized, “ A cosmetic decision. A confidence decision. One of the best one’s I’ve ever made.”

A woman in Columbus OH needed Otoplasty Surgery and now she is pleased with the results: “For 30 years I thought very seriously about having my ears reduced. I did not know how exactly to go about it. I was on the internet and found an advertisement for Dr. Donaldson. I came up here and was very pleased with his personality, the office, and everything that I saw. I felt very comfortable, and I have to be very comfortable with somebody to be able to go forth with anything. I scheduled the surgery and it has been absolutely the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I have been able to wear my hair the way that I want to, I’m more comfortable when I go out, and it’s just been absolutely awesome! The people here, the staff, everybody have been very very helpful with anything that they can do; the follow-up. It has just been 100% positive with everything that I’ve had, no negatives whatsoever. I’m very pleased with the results.”

A Gynecomastia Patient in Columbus OH is thrilled with his results: “I had gynecomastia surgery and I did a lot of research on Dr. Donaldson and various surgeons across the country. A lot of them focus on women, and not a lot of them really have a lot of information about men and the aspects that we go through. I’m a competitive athlete and I spend a lot of time in the gym, a lot of focus with other people, and a lot of people have the same issues as I do, but are kind of nervous and don’t really know which way to go with it or if they should. A lot of people since I’ve gotten it done have requested ways of getting information to having the same thing done. A lot of men don’t realize that we have the same issues with the way we look and the way we feel about ourselves. That’s why we go to the gym and do these things. But a lot men don’t really focus on cosmetic surgery. I was referred to a general surgeon originally and I didn’t like the way that they interacted with me. Dr. Donaldson is very professional, easy going, just an all around great surgeon and very hands-on. He let me get the points across that I was concerned about. Everyone has a little concern when they’re going into surgery. I was very impressed and my family came in and they were impressed with his overall demeanor. I would definitely recommend him to anybody. The staff is wonderful. It’s a very laid-back environment. I feel very comfortable here. I’m back in the gym. It’s been 4 weeks and I have almost no scars, even though I’m laxing on putting the scar cream on. I’m full fledged back in the gym and I feel great. I was back to work in 2 days. I couldn’t ask for more!”

A Breast Augmentation Columbus OH patient is estatic with her results: “I’m about 8 weeks out now from my breast augmentation with Dr. Donaldson and I couldn’t be happier! I shopped around a little bit. I went to a few places and had consultations and immediately Dr. Donaldson made me feel really comfortable. Bobbie is amazing! She’s just a total ladies girl and totally made me feel comfortable. I went through the entire process with them and it was seamless. Now I just love them. I couldn’t be happier and I can’t wait for bikini season!”

A Mommy Makeover Colubus Ohio patient is very pleased with the results of her procedure: “I just want other moms out there to know not to be ashamed if they want to have a mommy makeover. You put in the hard work, you’re a great mom, you take care of yourself, so it’s a great reward to feel confident about yourself. I would definitely do it a million times over. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Donaldson enough for what he’s done for me.”

Another rave review from a breast augmentation Columbus patient: “I scheduled my breast augmentation and the staff at the surgery center was awesome. I had no fears. I was comfortable.

Everything has just gone wonderful and I’m very pleased with my results!”
