As a single 24 yo working to pay back extreme college loans, I appreciate that he does not want to do surgery yet, if at all.
Catherine Wee, an OT at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, was also fabulous. I saw her for several appts, but my condition continued to worsen. She is down to earth and compassionate. When I had been referred to other doctors around the Boston area, she called me after a couple months just to check in - I really like her, but I'm just not in a place where PT is helpful.

Hi LadyLaura,
I am a patient of Dr. Donohue as well - he was the one who finally did the right imaging and confirmed I have compression in my thoracic outlet. He recommended a scalene Botox injection for me but we're still working on getting insurance to approve. I too have been really impressed with Dr. Donohue's approach - he seems genuinely interested in helping deal with this condition and was really thorough in our consultation. Best of luck to you!
