Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I saw the good doctor yesterday...today, I'm 98\% recovered.....I also threw in a concern I had about my hand which he explained and told me the prescription he ordered would likely help...well, it did...now I am without pain, I can breathe, and I can now hear out of both ears! Kudos to you, my friend....and thank you! All above and beyond, doctor, facility, staff..etc. etc. Sylvia Stivers

He is a caring and experienced, teaching doctor. I have been seeing Dr. McDonald FOR SEVERAL YEARS and because he has moved to a clinic on Pelham Rd. I am having a time finding another doctor closer to me in Spartanburg, S.C. I am a senior citizen and hate driving on Hwy I-85 but I may need to travel to see the best.

Dr. McDonald was not at all thorough! He did NOT listen to my concerns very well! I went in with flu like symptoms. A culture was done and it was neg. He stopped listening after I told him I had the flu vaccine. After a couple of days of getting worse I had to go back. The second test was positive! Needless to say, it was too late for Tamiflu! He did no blood work the first time or any other tests. I told him I had been exposed to the Type A virus. He made me feel insignificant and stupid! I
