Our practice began as a solo general practice started after World War II by a Robert MacDonald, MD in Dormont.

The original office was located at the corner of Washington Road and Highland Road in Bethel Park. Since then, the practice has grown significantly, adding a second office in the 1990s.
We continue to welcome new patients of all ages at both of our locations. Our office procedures are designed to provide a safe in-person experience for all patients and family members. In addition, we also offer video visits when appropriate.
