I am a board-certified and fellowship-trained primary care sports medicine physician. Through non-surgical options, I treat a wide variety of sports medicine injuries, including primarily knee, hip, and shoulder injuries, as well as sports concussion. I have a special interest in addressing weight management as a treatment for patients with arthritis of the hip and knee. I also treat osteoporosis, and enjoy counseling patients on lifestyle recommendations to improve overall bone health.

My special interests include counseling patients on exercise recommendations, discussing weight management as it pertains to treatment of arthritis in the hip & knee, non-operative treatment of sports related injuries and other acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, and diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound-guided procedures. My goal is to help patients return to activities of daily living or other sports or hobbies they enjoy.

Dr MacDonald was just the expert I needed. [...] The acute phase of the issue had resolved a good deal on its own by the time I got in, but she provided a plan going forward

I so appreciate Dr. McDonald's patient manners. I don't feel she's rushing through the appointment so she can get to another. She makes me feel welcome and that she's there to treat/help me!
