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.

She gets it!

Bad care
Dr. McDonald did not prescribe me magnesium while laboring with pre-eclampsia. I then had eclampsia and had a seizure which led to an emergency c-section. I am now struggling with secondary infertility because of a ismothcele from a c-section scar. I also broke my back during the seizure and had a year recovery from that.

Rude staff in the office
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the recent experience I had at St. Luke's Hospital, specifically in relation to my scheduled appointment with Dr. Jennifer McDonald. This experience has left me profoundly disappointed, primarily due to the unprofessional behavior exhibited by the staff at Dr. McDonald's office.My scheduled appointment was at 3:45 pm, and I arrived promptly at 3:44 pm. To my astonishment, the clerk at the front desk informed me that I was 30 minutes late and subsequently canceled my appointment. I wish to draw your attention to several issues that have compounded my frustration and led me to submit this formal complaint.Lack of Communication: Nowhere in the lead-up to my appointment was I informed of the requirement to arrive 30 minutes early for paperwork completion. This crucial piece of information was conspicuously omitted from any prior communication. Had I been aware of this requirement, I would have made every effort to ensure I arrived ea

Dr. McDonald is an amazing OBGYN. I have gone to her for years (most recently for my first pregnancy), and she is thorough and reassuring. I also appreciate that she will give you her honest opinion regarding best practices and answers to questions--I tended to worry about everything, and she was always able to put my mind at ease with clinical support and medical data for her opinions. She has an excellent bedside manner, and her staff is awesome.
