Dublin’s Own Dr. Donaldson with Donaldson Plastic Surgery Named One of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons

Jeffrey Donaldson, MD, Earns a 2026 National Ranking from Newsweek, Built on Recommendations from His Medical Peers

When a national publication goes looking for the best in a field, it’s worth noticing when the list includes someone from our own community. Jeffrey Donaldson, MD, of Dublin, Ohio-based Donaldson Plastic Surgery, has been named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Plastic Surgeons 2026 list, including a specific listing for breast augmentation surgery.

Local Medical Excellence, Recognized on a National Scale

Central Ohioans looking for a plastic surgeon often rely on word of mouth or some deep Google searching. A ranking driven by peer recommendations is a useful second opinion. For those considering breast augmentation, a tummy tuck or a mommy makeover, it signals that the surgeon’s colleagues hold his or her work in high regard.

And it's great to know we have a top-tier, nationally-recognized surgeon right here in our own backyard.

“I’m honored to be included on this list with so many other esteemed and well-respected medical professionals in this industry. Since the beginning, I have made patient safety and satisfaction paramount to this practice.”

— Jeffrey Donaldson, MD, Founder & Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, Donaldson Plastic Surgery

How The National Ranking Works 

Newsweek produces the ranking with global data firm Statista. It isn’t a popularity contest or a paid placement. Their proprietary list is built on what other medical professionals say about their colleagues’ work.

Statista surveys thousands of medical professionals for peer recommendations. Those votes are weighed alongside quality-of-care assessments and voluntary certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery. More than 10,000 votes were tallied for the 2026 edition.

What The Rankings Cover

The sixth edition of the ranking recognizes surgeons in six cosmetic procedures:

• Breast augmentation
• Eyelid surgery
• Facelift
• Liposuction
• Rhinoplasty
• Tummy tuck

Dr. Donaldson appears on the overall 2026 list and in the breast augmentation category.

“I am proud to be considered one of America’s Best Plastic Surgeons, but I would be remiss if I didn’t share this accolade with our exceptional patient care team. Their level of dedication elevates procedure results and the entire patient experience.”

— Jeffrey Donaldson, MD
