Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Oncologist!
Dr. Macdonald did an excellent job at diagnosing me after my lumpectomy and overseeing my four weeks of radiation for my breast cancer. He had an excellent bedside manner and was very thorough in explaining all the procedure and outcome of the treatment! Consequently I felt very comfortable during the treatment and glad to be under his care! He has been very thorough in his explanations during follow-up appointments also.

Cheerleader
Must be very good at reading x-rays, but zero bedside manner. My weekly appointments consisted of 'You're doin' good! Only x more treatments to go! See you next week!' No desire to help me alleviate side effects. It was a miserable experience.
