Patient Reviews
Oct 12, 2018
I had a complicated eye problem which Dr. McDonald was able to diagnose correctly. He then sent me to an ophthalmologist who specialized in my problem. Dr. McDonald was very competent but did not try to treat a condition which was outside of his area of expertise. I definitely recommend him.
