McDonald Chiropractic

Dr. Mcdonald really helped me with my lower back when I could hardly walk on my right leg. He adjusted me then his massage therapist Danielle was amazing and gave me a deep tissue massage and really eased my pain.
I highly recommend him and his team.

My family bought me a massage and back adjustment for my birthday and I was reluctant to go because the only massages I have ever received were from my wife and I don’t feel comfortable with others touching me. I went because she spent about $ 50 and I didn’t want it to go to wast When I got there, they immediately wanted my teacher insurance information, but I declined because I did not plan on making this place a regular stop; I only wanted my adjustment, since my sciatic nerve had been acting up and maybe one of the two massages my family had purchased.
The doctor came in and checked me out briefly and told me that I would need x-​rays prior to any adjustment in order to prevent any injuries; so basically he could do nothing until I submitted my insurance information for x-​rays, which I believe is every doctor’s goal — to rack up those insurance claims. I agreed, but never followed through with it and don’t plan to ever go back. The massage was terrible — not enough pressure, and the masseuse kept massaging my ribs and love handles after I stated not to because I am extremely ticklish. I couldn’t even enjoy the massage and never went back for the second one and they never called me either, which is fine with me because I don’t believe in Western Medicine.

I received a call that I «won» a body wrap. That’s where the nightmare began. I went in for my body wrap and realized I was in a chiropractic office not a spa… The Dr met with me first and tried to sell me other services. Ok fine. I go into a brightly lit, cold room and stand in the middle of the room while a woman applied some mystery cream to my torso, arms, and thighs then she proceeds to wrap me with a roll of plastic wrap and leaves me on a table in the room freezing cold for 30 minutes. I could not wait for it to be over. I thought when I left … Ok so it was very awkward and seemingly a waste of time but it’s over… Or is it? Over the next 24 hours I developed a horrible rash… More like a severe burn on all of the areas of my body this wrap was applied. The rash turned to blisters and for 5 days I suffered through it. I called this «dr» and reported my reaction. His response was to offer more cream I could have applied in his office. Hmmmm no thanks. So after it’s over I contacted him to let him know the severity of the reaction and what I experienced. He berated me and offered me $ 300. Well, I don’t think $ 300 is adequate compensation for what happened to me so this is my response. I hope others see this and avoid this place.

So happy to have found doctor McDonald!
I am in from out of town and although my room accommodations are top notch, my achy neck doesn’t always appreciate hotel pillows. Needless to say I woke up with a stiff neck and was need of special attention. I Unilocaled several chiropractors here in the Palm Springs area and found Md. McDonald.
I called his offices and Mayra was extremely empathetic and worked to get me an appointment immediately. They take insurance !!! So unlike most chiros in the area all I paid was a co-​pay ($ 40). The consult was painless and I received much much needed heat and cold therapy treatments. I was there about 45 minutes and made an appointment to go back tomorrow before I leave town. I don’t think my neck will be fixed in one visit but I already have more flexibility in my neck!
Thank you Md McDonald! I’ll be back in town soon and plan to schedule a visit!
