      Dr Donaldson's care, concern and competency in treating my medical issues was extraordinary, among the best I have experienced in my 71 years. I also appreciate that she was able to talk with me using medical terminology and concepts that I knew and understood; it felt affirming to have a wise, thoughtful and competent partner in caring for my health needs.
