Patient Comments
- October 7, 2020The remote visit is so much easier for me than making a trip into High Point. The appointment is on time and we focus on the need at the particular time.
- September 30, 2020I love Carolyn. I have gotten to know her and she knows about all my issues. She has always been caring and thorough. She listens to me and helps me through my issues. I would highly recommend her.
- September 20, 2020Good experience that you
- August 9, 2020No complaints
- July 19, 2020she is a great listener,and talks to me to get me to open up about what I'm feeling
- July 15, 2020good
- June 30, 2020Ms McDonald a kind and caring person
- June 22, 2020I've referred this practice to numerous people looking for mental health care. I love this practice, but I cannot vouch for everyone and specifically refer people to my provider because she's so wonderful! she cares about your wellbeing and always asks what you would like to see happen/would like to do ideally to take your input into consideration with her recommendation for treatment. I was very clear when I started I didn't want ANY BZP medication for my anxiety, she heard me and worked really hard to get me on a medication for my anxiety. it's not completely gone and I don't think it ever will be, however I'd able to do more things now without having crippling anxiety causing me to leave, be angry or irritated because I can't process my emotions, as long as I stay with my treatment consistently.
- June 15, 2020Carolyn McDonald is an excellent provider of care.
- May 21, 2020some time I have problem understand ing but I have her repeat it if I don't understand
- March 26, 2020personally a nice person but didn't listen. Anxiety level through roof after the appt due to not being heard. would only recommend because of lack of providers in the area who do med mgmt
- March 6, 2020Good
- March 2, 2020Dr. McDonald was very impressive and I feel I'm in Capable Hands
- January 30, 2020i never feel listened to and i spend about 5 mins in her office
- January 29, 2020I have trust in Carolyn that she makes the best decision on the best care for me.
