Biography
Dr. Steven Donatello
Pain Management Physician
Dr. Donatello specializes in treating nerve and spine pain disorders as well as cancer-related pain. His philosophy is that only informed patients can make insightful decisions regarding their healthcare, so as a patient you can anticipate that part of your visit will include education and discussion. Dr. Donatello feels that it is critical that a patient is actively engaged in a treatment plan throughout care. He adheres strictly to state and federal guidelines regarding the use of prescription medication(s). For patients already seeing another pain management provider, he offers second-opinion consultation appointments.
