Great Orthopedic Surgeon, Respectful Care
Great orthopedic surgeon. I think Dr. Donegan is a great Orthopedic Surgeon. He treated me with respect and kindness. I truly like him and think he is wonderful.
Top-Notch Reverse Shoulder Replacement Results
Dr Donegan did a complete reverse shoulder replacement on both my wife and me. I have full use of my shoulder now. My wife is now 2 months post op from her full replacement and quickly regaining mobility of her arm and shoulder. Dr Donegan also did a repair on her other shoulder and now, 8 months post op, she has full mobility of that one. Dr Donegan and his staff are absolutely top shelf!! Highly recommended!!!
Successful Shoulder Surgeries With Dr. Donegan
Three shoulder surgeries between my wife and myself:
My wife is 2 months post op now after her complete reverse shoulder replacement with Dr Donegan. She is quickly regaining mobility and use of that arm. Nine months ago, she had a partial replacement of her other shoulder and now has full use of that arm also.
Dr Donegan did the same complete reverse replacement on my shoulder 24 months ago and I now have full use of my (right) arm again. It is amazing because I never thought I would ever have such utility of that arm again! (The suggested weight limit on my new arm/shoulder is 55/60 pounds (which has always been about normal for me anyway).
Doctor Donegan and his staff at Bluegrass Orthopedics In Lexington, Ky are the best, hands down. From check in to check out, we were treated like royalty. Such an extremely positive experience. We highly recommend this surgeon, his staff and Bluegrass Orthopedics !
