She's an excellent doctor who listened to my daughter's symptoms by asking her directly (she's 12yo) Great bedside manner. My daughter really enjoyed talking to her and felt very at ease during the appointment.

waited over 2 hours and was told they forgot about me when I got angry enough to complain. Dr. told me that I shouldn't have finished a medication that another doctor prescribed. So I was scolded for following prescribed meds instructions!

October 30, 2012Jennifer M.Verified patient
The wait time was right at an hour. My rating would be better if I was just evaluating the time spent with Dr. Mcdonald. She listened to my concerns and seemed to correctly evaluate my symptoms. This is my first visit with her.
