Doctor was a little hurried and didn't really explain how I would feel after my cortisone shot. He needed to give more information.

I don't feel Dr McDonald spends much time with his patients. Doesn't ask many questions, and doesn't offer things like, what to expect after surgery, how long recovery is, etc

My first visit, but the doctor listened to me
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/16/2025
I wasn't truly listened to or given attention to my postop questions. There seemed to be an agenda that I was to fit in to.

He didn't really tell me anything about the MRI I had to get. Wondering if it was worth the high cost of that test.
