Dr. MacLeod is hands down in the top three doctors I've ever met. Every time I leave an appointment with her I feel seen, listened to, and responded to with care and compassion. Most importantly, I feel prepared and ready to face any health concerns with confidence. Honestly, Dr. MacLeod's care has helped me take control of my health and life again. There are many that could take a note from her book on how to be a top notch doctor.

I really appreciate that though my fasting numbers are a bit high for pregnancy, the doctor did not immediately jump to insulin and instead wanted to gather more data first. I felt like I was supported and provided all of the options. I am going to be traveling for a week and a half, and the doctor worked with me to accommodate that within my treatment plan.
