Ford-Donaldson Rosemary, MD

I’m giving it one star due to I love some of the other doctors there but Dr. Ford was rude, short, and frankly didn’t care. I asked questions and she flat out wouldn’t respond or brushed me off. Even though I had been going to that place for years she told me that I was wasting my time there and basically not to come back unless I was sick… Ummm… Why do you think I was there!

I have one star because the facility was clean. Beyond that I am so upset with this place. I went in because I had clicking in my ears, dizzy spells, etc. the doctor looked in my ears and said there was not a lot of blockage. Most doctor would have cleane out my ears!!! Then he tells me he has no idea hats wrong with me and try’s shoving steroid prescriptions at me. I mentioned that I was cash patient and not making much money. And he still charged me $ 93 for 10 minutes of non sense talk. I feel so taken advantage of! I left in tears. Please don’t give these people your hard earned money! I think 93 $ for 10 minutes of time and absolutely no solution to my issue is immoral. Don’t go here!

Dr. Donaldson-​Ford has been my doctor for over 10 years now. She treats me, my husband, and my now grown daughter. She is the type of family doctor that doesn’t often exist any more. Compassionate, thorough, dedicated. She develops a relationship with her patients. She has taken me through some very serious health issues and has been instrumental in saving my life. She’s not the type to just write a quick prescription and send you on your way. She tests thoroughly, refers to specialists when needed, and makes sure that whatever issues you have are followed through. I’m almost afraid to review her because I want her to be my best kept secret! But she deserves credit for her amazing heart and her outstanding work. In all my life, living in multiple states, I’ve never met a doc like her. We’re nervous about retiring and moving away because she won’t be there, and when you have this kind of quality medical care it’s hard to imagine giving it up.
In addition, the resources at Irvine Family Practice are invaluable. There is a 7-​day-​a-​week walk-​in clinic, several other excellent physicians so that someone is always available (Dr. Carmela Yacoob is another personal favorite of mine — beautiful spirit, brilliant mind, great doc), an in-​house chiropractor, and in-​house Xray services. The front desk staff has always been excellent, and they get to know the patients so you always feel that the service is personal. It’s an all-​around excellent medical facility.

Rosemary is the best GP I have ever had, and that includes doctors in my family! She spends a lot of time with me and asks plenty of questions. She found a long term problem with me that has been missed by every doctor for 30+ years. You could not ask for a better doctor

Dr. Donaldson-​Ford is a truly fantastic doctor. I recently moved to the area from Canada, where medical care is easy and free, so I was very stressed to try out this new system. Dealing with Dr. Donaldson-​Ford at the Irvine Family Medical Practice has eased my worries.
You can tell that Dr. Donaldson-​Ford really cares about her patients, and she does her best to make you as comfortable as possible. She is very friendly and has an awesome bedside manner. I’ve seen her several times, and she has always been on time for my scheduled appointments. I feel so lucky to have found her as a doctor!
The front desk staff have always been fairly friendly to deal with as well, and if I’ve had any urgent matters, they always try their best to get me in to see her very quickly.
