Dr. D was my clinical preceptor for pulmonology. What a great guy. I saw him get people of vents who had been there long term : SNRI's, coffee, and oxandrolone. What a maverick. Plus I also did Jujitsu and we often spoke about that. What great memories.

There are no doctors like you there are no doctors like you there are no doctor's like you

Dr. Donaldson, was my mother's (Mary) physician until she passed away in 2004. We went to Dr. Donaldson, because we shared the same last name.

Dr. Donaldson was one of the kindest men and doctors our family knew. We had known him since the 80's because he was a client of my husbands, Dennis Landauer. Later Dennis, Chris, and my mother all became patients of the Doctor. When I worked in the Sun Cities, my business required I call on doctors and he was the only one that would take the time to visit with me and even have lunch. All of us are shocked to hear of his passing. I am so sorry we didn't hear the news soon enough to...
