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.

The Best!
I was extremely satisfied with Dr. McDonald and his staff. He took the time to sit with me and explain his findings as well as informing me regarding every step of the procedures, outcomes, and alternatives. I never felt rushed or insignificant during my visit. I'm so blessed to have been referred to him and I thank God that there is still at least one doctor left that actually cares.

Returning patient
I was pleased with my hip and knee replacement surgery performed by dr McDonald in 2019. When my right knee started hurting this summer I returned to him. I was lucky since I do not need a knee replacement and walked away with a cortisone injection. I’m feeling better already.

Excellent!
Dr McDonald replaced my hip 2 years ago - a miracle!! His bedside manner can’t be beat! I have continued to see him watching my other hip! I am so comfortable with his advice. Highly recommend him for joint replacement -he does anterior whoch I believe is the only way to go. Quicker recovery with fewer restrictions.

Successful Hip Replacement!!!
I had the most rewarding experience with my hip replacement. Dr. Allen Mc Donald III performed my hip replacement surgery. I now have my quality of life back. Dr. McDonald explained what to expect from the beginning to the end. No one will ever know the horrible pain I experienced before my surgery. I followed Dr. McDonlad’s instructions to have a successful surgery. I’m walking with no limp, definitely no pain and once again I’m enjoying my life again. I’m grateful for Dr. McDonald's expertise, his knowledge and his excellent listening skills. Dr. Allen McDonlad is the man… with a great team of talented nurses, staff , anesthesiologists, physical therapist, specialists and all who are part of the Peachtree Orthopaedics. Once again thank you for expertise in this field of hip replacement. For anyone who’s second guessing this surgery. I promise you Dr. Allen McDonlad III will be the best surgeon. I don’t do pain well at all. Dr. McDonlad should be your surgeon for this procedure.

Excellent Consultation
Following both efficient and friendly initial processing by the Peachtree Ortho staff, Dr. McDonald took ample time to listen to my description of an injury, diagnose the ailment, and explain both the diagnosis and treatment. His patient-oriented approach, accessibility, and knowledge were impressive as well as reassuring and helpful. Patients are fortunate to have access to his skills and approach.

Great
I went in with a very painful hip, and was administered a pain injection. The injection was very painful, and it didn't help me at all. So hopefully we can come up with something else. He is a great Dr. and I felt very good about the visit. The staff was very courteous and nice, and the office is very comfortable. I'm sure I will be making another appointment soon, because I know the medicine needs a little time to work, but if it doesn't, I hope that I can get a hip replacement for this pain. Very satisfied with Dr. McDonald.

In addition to his expert surgical skills, Dr. McDonald has a caring, listening attitude. I am most grateful for the time he spent asking all my questions following surgery. I know I was treated by one of the best orthopedic surgeons and am eager for others to hear and, if necessary, have the opportunity to receive his care.
