“Kind, Warm, and Skilled Staff”

Dr. McDonald and his staff were delightful and made for a wonderful experience for our 2 childrens' wisdom teeth removal. Not only were they extremely caring, but apparently extremely skilled in anesthesia and surgical techniques. We've had several oral surgeons over the years for us and our 4 children, but none of them even compared to the level of warmth and expertise. The kids were comfortable pre and post surgery, and are having very very minimal discomfort, despite the extraction of 4 impacted wisdom teeth. Exceeded our expectations for level of care,surgical experience and recovery. Thanks, Dr. McDonald and Staff !!

“Excellent Service and Patient Care”

I am not a fan of having tooth work done, in general, and my experience with Dr. McDonald was wonderful. I had zero pain throughout all of the procedures performed and had only minimal pain during recovery (I was able to take only tylenol/motrin and did not ever have to take any stronger or prescription pain medications). The staff was courteous and explained the procedures/post-op recovery and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Dr. McDonald to anyone, and in fact, have done so already.

“No complications and very little pain thanks to the doctor.”

There was some delays with the hospital, but when it was all said and done I have no complaints. A job well done, which is the most important thing when having any kind of surgery.
