Megan M. Donohue, MD

My goal is to provide compassionate and comprehensive orthopaedic care to every one of my patients. As a former athlete, I understand the importance of movement and mobility to each person’s physical and mental well-being. It’s gratifying to see patients heal and recover. Whether it means getting back to work, gardening, or competitive sports, my goal is to help patients return to the life they enjoy. I view my patients as partners in their own care. I encourage them to actively participate in creating a treatment plan to achieve their goals.

I was drawn to midwifery because I have a strong desire to help people during life transitions. I provide gentle and caring support to my patients. I want my patients to feel empowered by their interactions with the health care system. My goal is to give my patients the tools they need to take care of themselves today and in the future.

Vascular surgery allows me to form long-term relationships with my patients. Although I perform surgeries, much of my work also involves working with patients to treat chronic diagnoses, such as diabetes and coronary heart disease. I enjoy talking with my patients to help them understand their diagnosis and treatment options and to learn what matters most to them. I try to clearly explain the risks of benefits of potential treatments. Together we decide on a treatment plan that focuses on their goals and value system. I am also sensitive to the needs and input of my patients' family members. As the patient's primary support system, they can help patients with their treatment plans at home. They can also notice early warning signs of problems. I do everything I can to make sure that everyone is comfortable with the treatment plan.
