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.

Rotator cuff tear.
Dr. McDonald was outstanding in every way. Amazing bedside manner/patient connection skills. Explained diagnosis and treatment plan perfectly. He gave me an injection in my right shoulder that was easy and worked immediately. Never had a better experience with an Orthopedic doctor. He is the best. His assistant Stephanie was outstanding as well. Dr. McDonald has earned my highest possible recommendation!
