Areas of Professional Interest

I treat general surgical problems including gastrointestinal disorders, breast conditions, hernia repair and certain skin conditions which require surgical treatment. The decision to undergo surgery is often a very personal and individual decision as every person has their own unique set of circumstances and priorities. My foremost goal is to educate patients and help them understand the pros and cons of their surgery.

Meet the Provider

Hello, I’m Dr. Donovan

Outside of surgical work, my wife and I enjoy growing our own food and are particularly interested in permaculture. We have two young children and love that we are able to raise them in Anacortes, where opportunities to learn about their environment are rich and boundless. As a family we enjoy hiking in the forest and Nordic skiing in the winter.
