Reviews
Dr. McDonald was a pleasure to work with. He is kind and has a positive bedside manner. He is a very talented and experienced physician, and made sure to explain to me what the issues were with my health. My symptoms were scary to me, but he reassured me and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. His nurse, Sally, was amazing too. I highly recommend him.
This was my first appointment with Dr. McDonald and I really liked him! He was kind, patient, and a great listener! I loved his nurse Sally too!
I HAD A CONSULTATION WITH DR. WALKER McDONALD ON 01/18/2024. HE GETS RIGHT TO THE POINT OF WHAT THE PATIENCES PROBLEMS ARE, AND WHAT PROCEDURES THEY HAVE HAD PRIOR TO SEEING HIM. HE WANTS TO HELP HIS CLIENTS GET BETTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. VERY NICE PROFESSIONAL DOCTOR. GLAD TO HAVE HIM AS A PART OF MY MEDICAL TEAM.
I had a great experience. Dr. McDonald and his staff were very courteous knowledgeable and professional. There was no long wait to be called. I'd highly recommend them to others!
Dr. McDonald and his entire staff provide excellent medical care- he is a highly-skilled, knowledgeable, compassionate professional who listened to our concerns, explained the condition that needed to be addressed and quickly and successfully resolved it. I would give him 10 stars if I could! I’m so thankful he is my daughter’s gastroenterologist!!
