Dr. Mary Jo Mcdonell, MD

She is so sweet and loves on all 3 of my boys. She’s never pushy when I decline a vaccine. We love her!!

Dr.Mcdonell is a WONDERFUL pediatrician! She is so caring and thoughtful to my two beautiful daughters. I wouldn’t trade her for the world! Highly recommend!

Very pushy and judgmental. Love every other doctor at kidzcare but not very fond at all of Dr. McDonell. She tries to make parents feel less than and even raised her voice at me about vaccines.

Dr. McDonnell should not be a pedestrian. She has very bad bedside manner, no patience with kids. She made me feel like she thought I was lying. She was very rude and very condescending towards me and my grandson. If she doesn't like kids then maybe she should go into another profession. I am currently looking for a different doctor for my grandkids bc of her. My grandkids have been at kidz care since they were born and never had any problems until Dr. McDonnell came there. I truly believe that she should not be a dr.

Wait time to see her is horrible. Waited over 2 hours and had an appointment. She's very slow and unorganized. Once she gets in the room she's moody and rude. Doesn't listen to what you have to say and pushes things off as no big deal when they really are.

I had Dr. McDonell as my doctor for 13 years. She found issues other doctors including my school nurses and PA's during School Physicals didn't spot. I was especially pleased with the way she handled my son's case in the hospital when he was born. I had no idea she worked at the hospital and the nursery and I cried when I saw her because I was so relieved. My son had blood sugar problems when he was born. The doctors at Niagara Falls, Memorial kept taking him away from me to pump him with glucose and I was trying to breast feed him. I was so distraught and upset because they kept him fro me all day when he was 2 days old. Finally Dr. McDonnell came in to see him and she told the nurses to bring him back in and let me work with a lactation consultant. She said my breast milk would help him glucose stabilize. I was so thankful to finally have someone tell these ignorant people to listen to what I had been saying all along. I know Dr McDonell can come off as kind of matter or fact, but… she really cares about her patients. The only reason my son doesn't see her is because she isn't in the location I like to go to. She's at Summit Pediatrics on Pine Ave and I hate that location. But Dr. McDonell has saved my life when I was 12 diagnosing me with Pneumonia when another doctor said I just had a cold. She also backed me up at the hospital when my son was born 13 years later so, she will always be a great doctor in my book.

I would not recommend this dr. I had terrible experiences as a child seeing her. My mother was treated like crap, the dr never heard her out about anything. I'm not sure if things have changed nowadays but I'm sure she's still the same.

I Like All Thee Other Doctors, But Not McDonald. She Sometimes Seems like She Doesn't Know What She's Doing Or What She's Talking About. I Am Thinking About Changing My Childs Doctor.

Don't recommend this doctor. Does not treat you like a human being. Will not sit and discuss problems. I have been talked down to and yelled at on several occasions. Not friendly no bedside manners.
