I would definitely recommend Dr. MacDonald!

I would definitely recommend Dr. MacDonald! He may be one of the most polite and empathetic physicians I've ever visited. He genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients and will spend as much time as necessary to discuss everything the patient requires or is curious about. Most dermatologists spend just a couple minutes with you and rush off. He is very intelligent; he was the 4th doctor I visited regarding a bizarre reaction I had that no one else could diagnose. My condition progressed for 2 weeks under their care. Dr. MacDonald properly diagnosed my condition within minutes of speaking with me and within hours of treatment my symptoms finally started to reverse.

Absolutely incredible experience here!

Absolutely incredible experience here!! Dr. MacDonald was very professional and knowledgeable. As well as sincere and personable. He is one of the nicest doctors I’ve been to! He made me feel comfortable at my appointment, and was respectful of my concerns/questions. He didn’t rush the appointment at all, took the time to answer any questions and inform me the knowledge behind any answer. Very thorough and kind. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and helping others. I would highly recommend him to everyone without a doubt!

So knowledgeable and kind!

I had melonoma removed from my leg this morning and Dr McDonald was SO awesome! I was extremely nervous when they called me and told me I would need to have surgery- especially this morning. But he was so great at explaining the process to us, cheering me on through the surgery and just taking his time with us all the way around and answering my million questions. I didn’t feel rushed with him at all. My husband and i walked out saying to each other he was the nicest person we have ever met! So knowledgeable and kind!

Dr. MacDonald and his nurse were incredible.

Dr. MacDonald and his nurse were incredible. I've never experienced a shorter and simpler waiting room and check in process. Dr. MacDonald was extremely thorough and efficient at the same time. He and his nurse cared about me and was interested in getting to know me and my concerns better. Then once he had all the info he needed, he took the time to explain the resolution to me in a way that made sense and was easy to understand. All my dermatology concerns are resolved and their office notified me of my results and it's only been two days since my visit. Outstanding experience. Will be sending everyone I can to them. Thanks guys!
