Dr. McDonald is great! She is extremely friendly and helped me essentially eliminate all of my acne. I now get a ton of compliments on my skin!
Dr. McDonald is both professional and relatable. She is thorough and informative, but speaks to you on a normal level, not like some doctors who speed through medical speak that I never understand. She's friendly and efficient too. I was impressed with how friendly the entire staff was from the moment I walked in the door until I checked out at the end. Lovely people. I recommend her and plan to keep her as my dermatologist.

I was impressed by how thorough Dr. McDonald was during my skin cancer exam. She did one biopsy and then recommended an overall plan of treatment going forward. I am a cancer survivor so I am very serious about preventative care. I just moved to Austin and am relieved to have found such a good dermatologist so quickly.
Very friendly and relatable.
