Thomas McDonald

He was my doctor for many years. I always trusted him and he always was so caring and real. I still think about him Tom often.

I'm very sorry to read of Tom's passing. I was a neighbor of Tom's when he lived on Cedar Crest in STL. I was a friend of his brother David. I always enjoyed Tom's company.

Dr. McDonald helped me in so many ways over the years, but 9 years ago in a time of crisis, his diagnosis, a key prescription, and a referral to another brilliant doctor - an old friend of his - truly changed my life.

It's so sad that such a gifted man who helped so many in their time of need passed so young. My heart goes out to all his loved ones.

I am shocked to hear this news.
Dr. McDonald was a kind, compassionate, and sensitive gentleman.
He sincerely cared for me in my hour of need.
Brilliant at his work.

My deepest condolences are with his family.

As a float nurse, I had the pleasure of working with him many times and was always impressed with his willingness to "buck the system" in favor of his patients. He was one of the good guys, showing great integrity and compassion, despite the overwhelming odds against such approaches in todays medical climate.

I was terribly sad to hear this news. My heart goes out to your family, as I know you must be experiencing a great void.

To the family of Dr ‘Moss' McDonald:

A remarkable man as well as a gifted physician. My mom adored him and is having difficulty accepting that he's gone. One short story: when Dr McDonald was getting in shape for his most recent Nepal trek, he used to ride his bicycle up the hill to my mother's house -- both for the...

Tom was a college classmate, a neighbor briefly in Portola Valley, and was my wife's and my doctor. Tom possessed a rare combination of great intelligence, thoughtfulness, and a wonderful gentleness that I admire tremendously. We are all poorer without this extraordinary man.
