To the extremely capable Dr. Donate I would like to express my profound gratitude and thanks. My recent experience with my foot surgery was most gratifying. The professional, prompt, courteous, and compassionate treatment I received in my opinion rivals that of any in the country. Before I had my bunionectomy I was very apprehensive about how my experience would turn out.
Flat foot reconstruction is a very specialized procedure that requires significant commitment both from the patient as well as from the surgeon. There are many different options available for the surgical correction of this problem and has to be approached in a very systematic way. There are a number of ways flat feet can occur and each has a different surgical approach.
Surgical correction of painful ankle fracture using plate and screws (traditional method). Ankle fractures have a distinct pattern when they occur and each has a specific surgical approach. Dr. Donate will discuss them with you and decide which is best for you. Typically the post-operative period requires 6-8 weeks of no weight bearing followed by 1-2 week period of gradual to full weight bearing in a walking boot.
Surgical correction of a bunion deformity with screws (traditional method). You can see the final result on X-rays compared to the pre-operative films. There are a number of surgical approaches to correct a painful bunion deformity. Dr. Donate will discuss them in detail with you and choose one that will be appropriate for your situation.
Many different surgical options are available for the correction of arthritis to the great toe. These procedures are typically dependent, but not restricted to, the patient's age and activity level. As a general rule patients under 60 are offered a fusion of the joint or a "distraction" (opening) of the joint.

Dr Donati (and Dimartino I believe her name is) were so helpful!! From the moment they entered the room I felt comfortable and understood. Dr Donate took the time to explain the ‘why’ of my foot/ankle issue. He also didn’t make me feel rushed in my questions, even giving me ample opportunity yo think of any other questions before my appt was over. I’d highly recommend and so thankful for passionate and caring doctors like him!!

The staff is very friendly and Dr Donate is great. I had surgery at the end of 2020 and still in the process of healing. Dr Donate was very good at taking time to explain the process and answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend him if you have foot or ankle issues.

I can say "He is very Professional Doctor" with very friendly office assistants.
After seeing other Podiatrist; I could say Dr Guillermo D cares about me and about all my concerns. I visited his office in December 2020 because I had a terrible pain on my left foot. The Doctor listened, informed, educated and discussed with me the options to alleviated the pain on my foot. His assistants are very friendly and they have great customer service. Do not hesitate to call him, if you have any issues.

I cannot say enough how absolutely wonderful my visit was! The staff was courteous and professional yet personable, from my initial call for an appointment to my actual visit. Dr. Donate is one of those doctors that on first meeting, you know you're going to love! He was warm, engaging, knowledgeable, and professional! The best 'bedside manners' and, honestly, the most painless treatment I have ever had with a foot injection. I highly recommend American Foot & Ankle!

His office personnel is very understanding and accommodating to the patients needs.
My husband has a contracted leg due to a massive stroke. Donate treats my husband with extremely care and compassion to his pains.
