Awesome, I was seen fast and Dr. McDonald was very professional and took time to listen to all my concerns and answer all my questions.

December 6, 2014Karen F.Verified patient

Dr. McDonald was fantastic. The visit was incredibly efficient. I had zero wait time and was never left alone in my room for more than a few minutes. Dr. McDonald seemed knowledgable and I feel like I am in good hands as I work through a knee injury from running.

over the two years that I have been seeing Dr. McDonald, many life changes have occured due to my injury. Dr. McDonald, from day one has guided & treated me in a direction to fully help me deal w/my injury as well as all that occur & were affected from my injury. My concerns were addressed & cared for each step of the way. wanted to thank him & his staff during this very difficult time, for all their care, compassion & time. I will be dealing w/this for teh rest of my life; but I know I will always have a good Dr., surgeon & person there to help me & my family. He has also cared for a sports injury for one of my children: in the same incredible manner. I'd highly recommed his (& have) to any of my family & or friends for care. Mrs. Gretchen too! She has been so great to work with; even when I was not. Thanks, for the impeccable care!
