Dr. Donahue founded Personal Health MD in 2011 to combine academic medical excellence with safe holistic functional medicine care.

“It’s vital to take the time to understand each patient in-depth — as a combination of their biochemistry, epigenetics, goals, and relationships. Only then can we best combine medical science with the art of healing to optimize health and treat illness.”

Working with Harvard specialists to provide the most seamless healthcare possible Dr. Donahue is affiliated with Brigham and Women’s Hospital as an Associate Physician, now Mass General Brigham, and with Beth Israel Hospital.

Dr. Donahue has an MD from the University of Massachusetts Medical School and is board certified in Family Medicine from the Maine-Dartmouth Residency Program. As Medical Director at the Vinalhaven Island Medical Center in Maine for 10 years he developed the fastest pre-hospital advanced cardiac care for heart attacks in New England, and cared for adults, children, and the elderly.

Moving to Boston he completed his MPH at Harvard School of Public Health in Health Policy where he also served as a visiting scientist. For 6 years he worked clinically at Harvard University Health Services teaching Harvard medical students as a Clinical Instructor in Medicine. He is a member of Massachusetts Medical Society.
