Dr. William Lawrence Mcdonald, DO

I found Dr. McDonald two years ago when he was with Beth Israel Hospital in Chestnut Hill. He reminded me of my first doctor, thorough, thoughtful and caring. He starts each appointment by reviewing your complete record and history. I feel so blessed that I found him, since the doctor prior to him was a nightmare. Unfortunately, my first doctor retired and I was referred to a doctor who was horrible. After losing my voice and being sick for 6 months, someone referred me to Dr. McDonald. I have been seeing him ever since. I followed him to his new office in Weymouth, so glad I did. He is an incredible doctor. I liked him so much I referred my Mom and sister. They agree with me, he is a great doctor.

Didn't give me time to explain, very monotone... expression less and degrading

Dr. McDonald is an excellent doctor and a truly nice person. He cares about his patients and is very thorough. I have always felt safe with him directing my care, which is why I highly recommend Dr. McDonald.

Dr. McDonald is an excellent doctor and a truly nice person. I find him to be very patient, even when I'm not at my best during an appointment. He looks at the Whole person, not just the illness.

I have the opportunity to see Dr. McDonald. He is courteous, happy-like, and nice person and will treat you accurately. He will figure things out for you that other PCPs can't figure it out and takes care of it on the spot.

What a wonderful first visit! Dr. McDonald put me at ease immediately and was very attentive to my concerns. His diagnosis was accurate and my condition got better immediately. I feel very comfortable at his office. His staff is warm and friendly and I have not had to wait to see him - he is always on time. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good family physician.

This was the most unbelievable experience of my life. This doctor was late for his appointment, he was short and rude, he appeared to have no idea what he was doing or talking about. I will never go back to Dr McDonald ever again. I went to another practice shortly after my horrendous visit here and was accurately diagnosed with something completely different that what Dr McDonald diagnosed me with. I would not recommend an enemy to see this man for any reason.

I had Congestive Heart Failure a little more than 3 years ago and and had to follow up with Dr McDonald on a regular basis for my INR's. I am in excellent health now through changing my life (no alchohol or nicotine, lots of exercise, etc) and with the constant encouragement of Dr McDonald. He is an excellent doctor looking at the overall health of the patient instead of just curing a particualr malady. I have read other posts on this board to the contrary and I felt I have weigh in with my experience. I wish him the best in Ohio. He is the best primary care doctor I have ever had.INR's are a hassle but that is not Dr McDonalds fault. You have to do them so why not use them as a chance to get a check up on how you are progressing instead? I look at doing INR's on a regular basis as a form on Connected Medicine

Do not follow up with patients. By all means. Do not take there symptoms seriously. Pretend the patient is drug seeking instead of sending them to a specialist to be looked at even when they say "I am not looking for medicine I am looking for a doctor". Afraid to prescribe medication. If you are going to become a doctor, don't forget that you treat patients with medicine sometimes. Except Dr McDonald, or should I say Kip Dynamite. That's right I said it, he is Napoleon's brother Kip. Next time you see him listen closely. Overall this doctor sucks, and will not take your concerns into consideration! GOOD LUCK OHIO

Changed two years ago to Dr. McDonald and he by far is the best primary care Dr. I have ever had. Very attentive to my concerns, right on the money for prescribing the right meds that help my blood pressure and chlosterol. And just a down to earth doctor!
