Veterinarian Overview
Dr. David MacDonald joined our medical staff in July 2014. Originally from Eastern Canada, he is a graduate of Atlantic Veterinary College, University of Prince Edward Island. Dr. MacDonald has been practicing veterinary medicine in Pennsylvania for 15 years–visited PA for a weekend and thought it was so beautiful he decided to stay. In addition to traditional veterinary medicine, including extensive experience in surgical procedures and dental care, Dr. MacDonald blends modern medicine with the practice of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture to offer a fully integrative approach to pet healthcare. He believes these practices have been successful when handling cases of chronic illness where a unique solution may be the best treatment option. He is member of the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society. Dr. MacDonald and his wife have 2 children, Oliver and Edie-Rose, and their family includes a seven-year-old English bulldog, Dot, and two cats. He enjoys the visual arts so watch for cool photos of Dot and friends on our Facebook page.
