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.

I am writing this review as another professional. I greatly respect Dr. MacDonald's clinical skills and ability to work with people who have complex and/or long-standing issues. She is especially good with helping people to recover from the effects of trauma. And she is often successful in working with people who have not gotten what they were looking for from other therapists. I especially recommend Dr. MacDonald to transgender people and partners and family members of transgender people.
