We love Dr. MacDonald and have been with her for 8 years. She is always attentive and talks with me (and the kids), not at me. There is always adequate time to address any concerns or ask questions. We have also seen other providers at this practice when Dr. MacDonald was not available and they are just as attentive.

My daughter had to get shots at this visit and was extremely upset (she’s 4). Dr. MacDonald had her calmed down in no time with her gentle demeanor and interactive approach. This was our first time meeting her and she surpassed my expectations. The nurse was also amazing that day. Again, my daughter was very fearful of the shots and was screaming (quite dramatically). Our nurse got them done quickly and her and the rest of the staff were kind throughout the entire visit.

My child was nervous wreck and screamed and cried and threw a fit. The doctor was patient with her. Dang to her. She was a blessing! This practice was not our first choice. We switched to Novant due to an insurance change and I couldn’t be happier that we did. I like the doctors so much! I always feel welcomed and comfortable at this practice!
