Douglas P. Macdonald, LAC, MAC

I’ve been dealing with low back pain for years, and working with Dr. MacDonald has truly been a game changer. From the start, he listened carefully to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel seen and heard. He offered several treatment options and helped me to decide what felt right for my body.

Doug is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and intentional in his approach. His acupuncture treatments consistently bring me relief—not just temporary, but lasting. I’ve tried other practitioners in the past, but none have been able to get to the root of the issue the way he has. His blend of eastern medicine and holistic care really resonates with me and makes each session feel like part of a larger healing journey.

I can honestly say my back pain is more manageable than it’s been in years, and I’m so grateful. I highly recommend Dr. MacDonald to anyone looking for real, effective support for  pain.

I am a competitive weightlifter and have visited Doug several times in the past year for treating various sport-related injuries and ailments (back, knees, calves, shoulder).  He is terrific and listening to what my body is telling me and making several recommendations for treatment, leaving the choice ultimately to me. He is efficient, punctual, and most of all patient and flexible. Each time I have had acupuncture or cupping services, I have left feeling better! I have had acupuncture treatments in the past that did not yield such immediate and impactful results. Being Asian by heritage, Doug's eastern medicine approach is also something that brings me great comfort. He tries to get to the root of the problem and fix from there, rather than provide superficial treatments that just mask the problem that then continues to return later. I highly recommend Doug to anyone who is interested in this type of treatment!
