My whole family has been patients of Dr. McDonnell's for years now and we all love him. He is thorough and kind in everything he does. He has treated my elderly parents for years and they just adore him. It's amazing how they go to see him with so many ailments and come out smiling every time. We want to keep him always because he's so good at what he does!!!

I've been seeing Dr. McDonnell for several years. He is the epitome of what a primary care doctor should be, and rarely is. Not only a very good, very smart, doctor, he is a real human being, with a wonderful manner, who treats every patient as if they were his only patient.

Best doctor I ever had, and I'm 72. He cares, he listens, and he knows what he's doing. The country needs more doctors like him......the old-fashioned kind. I don't mind waiting because I know he's going to take his time with me, too. His staff is great, too.
