Dr. Heather MacDonald

Dr. MacDonald did my scheduled c-section with my third child. She was so wonderful. She was so pleasant before and during the surgery. She answered all my questions while I was on the table. She also treated the OR staff with kindness and respect. 10/10 would go back to her for our next section.

I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks last Christmas (2020). Dr. Macdonald was the doctor at the hospital who had to confirm it was a miscarriage and talk to me about having a DNC (my choice). I was told by the ER doctor that I would be getting my DNC that morning but that wasn’t correct. Dr. Macdonald was so kind and put me at ease, she also knew how I felt about getting my DNC ASAP. The hospital managed to get me in later that night. Dr. Macdonald was still there when I came back, and was actually who did the procedure. I have never felt so taken care of, listened to and reassured that everything would be okay. I was terrified as it was my first miscarriage. She also said if I were to get pregnant - when I get pregnant again - she would see me as a patient. Unfortunately when I did get pregnant again, she was on maternity leave. I have nothing but great things to say about her.

First time pregnant and recently had my first Ob Appt. I was really nervous- I’ve not always had wonderful experiences in the past with other doctors, so I was prepared for it not to be great. Not only was I wrong about the whole experience, there were several really great things. The staff is lovely, kind, nonjudgmental and helpful. The doctor was matter of fact, explained things clearly, normalized my first time pregnant fears, and gave me ample time for questions. I really felt like Dr. M had empathy, wanted to care for me in the best way she knew how, and wanted me to fully understand. I am confident in her skill and knowledge based on how she made me feel, how her office was so incredibly efficient (I literally walked right in from the waiting room at my appointment time- that’s unheard of!). While being pregnant for the first time brings a host of concerns, anxieties, fears, excitement, etc, I felt seen and heard. Highly highly recommend.
