Laura Mcdonough, PA (also referred to as Lynn in many reviews) receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from her patients, with the vast majority of reviews awarding five stars. Patients consistently praise her as knowledgeable, thorough, and caring, frequently highlighting that she takes ample time during appointments, listens attentively, and explains conditions and treatment plans clearly. Many reviewers specifically mention her excellent bedside manner, patience, and compassion, noting that she makes them feel heard and respected rather than rushed.

Patients also share
While the overwhelming majority of feedback is positive, a small number of reviews pointed to areas for improvement. One reviewer felt she was "in a hurry" with limited opportunity for interaction, and another mentioned she left the room without saying goodbye, causing confusion. A couple of patients noted that they had to proactively ask many questions to understand next steps or overall progress, suggesting that more proactive communication about treatment plans could be helpful. One review also mentioned wishing certain questions had been addressed earlier in the process rather than needing to be asked later.
