What our patients say
Dr. McDonald performed my father's surgery with exceptional skill and provided outstanding follow-up care, ensuring our comfort throughout the process.
I am currently seeing Dr. McDonald for my ankle and I am overjoyed with the care that I receive from his clinic. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I always feel heard with any concerns that I have. Dr. McDonald explains any/all processes thoroughly.
I’ve been having some pain in my feet for the past few months, went to visit footy & ankle clinic, and receive an injection & bough some shoe insoles, hopefully it will work 😇 great service …
Excellent service. Dr. McDonald was very thorough and discussed my problems and my options! I would highly recommend this clinic.
Absolutely the best care! Dr. McDonald was the 3rd podiatrist I had seen with chronic ankle pain. Was able to do x-rays in-office and read them immediately. He was able to find the cause of my problem and treat it when Froedtert said there was nothing wrong with my foot. Came up with a treatment plan and did a steroid injection and have finally been pain free for the first time in 2 and 1/2 years. Truly the most caring, attentive, and knowledgeable!
Dr. McDonald always takes his time with me which I appreciate. He also has an excellent staff. He really listens and has a kind and gentle approach. I have seen many doctors in his specialty and he is by far my favorite! I highly recommend him!
