Patients appreciate
Laura McDonough, PA is consistently praised by patients for her exceptional listening skills, compassion, and genuine concern for patient well-being. Across hundreds of reviews, the most frequently highlighted strengths are her ability to truly hear patients' concerns, take time during appointments without making anyone feel rushed, and explain diagnoses and treatment plans in clear, understandable terms. Patients repeatedly describe her as knowledgeable, thorough, and highly skilled, while also noting her warm, friendly, and personable bedside manner. Many reviewers specifically appreciate that she involves patients in their care decisions, answers all questions patiently, and follows up proactively. Several long-term patients emphasize the trust they have built with her over many years, with some traveling significant distances specifically to see her.
Patients also share
The constructive feedback across the reviews is limited but does reflect a few recurring themes. A small number of patients felt that Laura could be more proactive in communicating next steps, overall progress, and what questions patients should be asking, rather than leaving patients to initiate those conversations themselves. One reviewer noted feeling that she seemed rushed during their visit, limiting meaningful interaction. Another mentioned she left the room without a clear goodbye, causing brief confusion. These concerns were raised by only a handful of reviewers and stand in contrast to the overwhelming majority of positive experiences.
