Dr. McDonald is a pill Pusher and has ruined the last six years of my life with I'm going medications that should not be next. I've ended up in the emergency room a few times. If you are addicted to pills this is the woman to go to because she will give you whatever you want. Every doctor I have spoken to whether it be at the hospital, my primary care, or any other doctor I have to list my medications to they all agree that she needs her license revoked.

Dr. spent lots of time with me on my initial visit, gathering all the information she needed to design a plan for me. On my second visit, although it wasn’t as long, we revisited the initial plan, and added a bit more. She knows what she’s doing. I don’t need to have warm fuzzies, I need a professional who will help me get the help I need. I’m confident Dr. Mcdonald will do that.

Does not return phone calls in a timely manner; patient feels unimportant; Too much time between appointments; Dr. is probably overworked
