About

Dentistry is an art form and science that I love. It’s a perfect outlet for my creativity and it also lets me help bring patients to better health. I couldn’t ask for a more perfect profession! After practicing dentistry for over 15 years, I've come to know what my patients, and their families, expect from their dental provider. I work hard to make sure that my patients are completely satisfied with their dental care and that they love the outcome. I love to defy the old model of dentistry. What excites me the most is changing a patient’s perception how great their smile can look, and how painless and enjoyable the process of modern dentistry can be. Today's treatments are comfortable, efficient, and provide long-lasting results. Dentistry is an art, requiring a strong passion and attention to detail. As a mother, and a dental patient myself, I understand the needs of my patients and their families, and it is my goal to make sure that every appointment is a positive experience. Our entire team works hard getting to know our patients, and providing the right treatments at the right time. Our patients are not just smiles, they are like family, and we strive to treat them as we would our own parents, spouses, and children. When I'm not at the practice making my patients smile, I enjoy spending time, and smiling, with my family! My husband, Tommy, and I have two children, Karen and Katie. I love playing with my kids, and watching as they grow into beautiful young ladies. Every day they make me more proud. In my free time, I also enjoy yoga, working out, cooking, traveling, and gardening. I appreciate being a part of this amazing community, and it is my goal to give back to an area that has given me and my family so much over the years. I am a volunteer with the Northern Virginia Dental Society's Clinic, and participate in various Missions of Mercy projects, Habitat for Humanity, CROP Walk for Hunger, and the Capital Area Food Bank. Sunshine Dentists also contributes to the Robinson Secondary School and Lake Braddock High School Athletic and Prom-to-Dawn programs.

Dr. Donohue and Dr. Ellis truly cared about what was best for me and spent the time to explain everything in a way that I understood. They also wanted everything to be just right. Everyone in the office is so amazing and I loved watching the collaboration between the staff to make sure all of my concerns were heard and addressed. I started with a mouth full of dental issues and they showed me a way past all of the issues in a way that took away my fear and shame. They are simply the best.

Dr. Donohue and her staff are the best! After an initial consultation, which was an open and honest plan of care, I was given all the possible options. I had bad teeth and gums with bone loss. I chose the plan of care that I was comfortable with and it has been executed to perfection. Can’t say enough about this practice! EVERYONE is friendly and caring. I highly recommend this dental practice for anyone. My entire family sees them.

Friendly, courteous and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Ellis did a great job repairing a chipped front tooth and giving me back a reason to smile. I highly recommend Sunshine Dentists.
