I have had eye trouble since birth.You can’t change the genetics so you have to make the best.James has given a great game plan to deal with the issue that followed me through my life.Other doctors have tried to but results were not perfect but still improved.I feel more confident that James is more skilled and knowledgeable about my particular case .Hoping that a combination of skill , new technology , and procedures will finally give me results I have wished for.

Great doctor, he has been my son’s doctor for the past 9years ( from birth). My son was born a preemie and we have seen dr McDonnell a lot and he has taken care of my son throughout all these years he has been great. He’s funny and he has a great personality and has made every visit very easy for my child.

Not only do you get professional care but you get a detailed explanation of your condition in terms that a person that is not in a medical field can understand. In my opinion, I received the pinnacle of eye care with a very warm and friendly Doctor that has a professional medical acumen.
