Verified patient
May 2024Dr MacDonald did not read recent problems on my chart. Showed little interest in my impending surgery. She blamed the lateness of our visit on new charting system. A very upsetting visit. I would have liked her opinion on the surgery. I really felt she was distracted & disinterested.

Verified patient
Jan 2024I feel Dr Macdonald is just the best doctor for me.
Verified patient
Jan 2024I felt like I was, instead of at my annual doctor's visit where I can voice my concerns, at the routine annual doctor's visit where she told me what she had to say to get paid from my insurance. Nonetheless, what she said made sense, but she did not hear all I wanted to convey to her. At least that was my perception.
Verified patient
Jan 2024I continue to not like wait times to see doctor. They put you in an examing room, and you wait longer than the 15 minute waiting window.

Verified patient
Jan 2024Dr. Gigi McDonald is the best primary care doctor I've ever had. She listens to my concerns and makes thoughtful decisions. She does not rush me out in 2 minutes like many offices do now. She is also very responsive and took time to call in a prescription for me after-hours on a Friday, so I didn't have to wait until Monday to start my medicine. We need more doctors like her. She is appreciated!

Verified patient
Jan 2024The radiology dept staff was rude and appeared disconnected. I signed in and took a seat. After a long delay I went to the front and asked how long it would Be. I was informed that the tech just got back from lunch and I was 2nd in the process. I would not have sat and waited over 30 min had I known she was unavailable and at lunch. The radiology department could have cared less about my personal time or needs .
