Dr. Francis Joseph Mcdonnell, MD

He has an amazing bedside manor and is very attractive.

Where did you go Dr. McDonnell? You are missed by me and others that seen you... prayers hope your well!!

I have been a patient of Dr. McDonnell for a number of years. He is a caring Physician who searches for ways to reduce pain.

always trying to make your pain better and he is a fast mover, but will slow down to talk to you if you have more questions or concerns,

he is a very good doctor with a good staff. i would recommend him to anyone needing pain management.

I been in pain for over three years and have been to three pain management office. Until I saw Dr. McDonnell I had no explicit answers as to why the pain was so widespread and of different types. One visit with Dr. McDonnell and he was on the right track a nuclear bone scan showed a compression fracture of a thoracic vertebrae. He did the first of two procedures required by Medicare yesterday and today the pain level has gone from a 7 to a 4. I am being explicit any ready this can understand what to expect. Dr. McDonnell and his staff are A1

Dr. McDonnall is a wonderful doctor!! I have recommended him to several people. His staff is great too!! If you're looking for a pain clinic, Dr. McDonnall & his team can't be beat. The only reason I don't see him anymore is because he doesn't do pain pumps. I really hated to leave him. It takes a special Doctor & staff to take care of people in chronic pain. This is that group.

I have only been examined by Dr McDonnel one time, and that was the first visit. I have Fibromyalgia, and he does not believe it exists. He asked me if I had cats! He said everyone was allergic to cats and chronic pain could be traced back to that. I informed him that I didn’t have cats, I have Fibromyalgia! I have only seen him since when I got injections which he cursed and used inappropriate language throughout the procedure. The rest of the time I see his nurse practitioner, who thinks ice will fix anything. I only go here because it is so hard to find a pain management Dr. I am currently looking for somewhere else to go.

Because of recent FDA rulings on and reclassification of pain meds, doctors are forced to refrain from prescribing much needed medication to patients who aren't addicts but who are genuinely in need. Some pain situations can be addressed by injections, but not all. Some issues can be resolved thru physical therapy, but not all. When both those approaches lead to no pain relief, but rather to ever increasing pain,it's insulting to the intelligence of the patient to continue to tell them physical therapy will EVENTUALLY HELP, when the opposite is true. Then comes the begging for pain medication, which is insulting, because it's given in small increments as to be nearly ineffective. I've never been a smoker, drinker, done drugs of any kind, but beg I had to. I've been they PT before and been highly successful. Not this time. Needless to say, this practice is composed of professionals who feel a diagnosis of "physical therapy fixes everything" does nothing more than give the doctor/np… a out when injections don't work. Then it's the patient's fault when there is no recovery, because he wasn't aggressive enough in therapy. I do not recommend this doctor. He does a manual exam on first visit, and does not take time to get to know the patient, nor does he care what the patient says. Nobody needs pain medication, he can't be wrong. And PT will eventually fix everything, even if it increases the pain exponentially. Dr McDonnell has seriously injured other patients and caused them to live in increasing pain. He's been successfully sued for injuring a patient. My suggestion is you see another physician if you need to be heard by a physician.

Dr. McDonnell is very knowledgeable, professional and above all listens to the patient. I have never been examined as well as I was with my first visit by any specialist or primary care physician I've seen in the past. He diagnosed a long standing issue which numerous physicians had missed and I received tremendous relief with the first procedure. I like the comprehensive approach this clinic uses in taking care of patients. I would recommend Dr. McDonnell to all my friends and family, he is a great physician.
