Family is Everything
Dr. Donaldson graduated from Pleasant Grove High School and Brigham Young University before heading to beautiful West Virginia to study medicine. He chose to specialize in Family Medicine and completed a Family Medicine internship and residency in Galveston, Texas. For the last six years, he has served as the Medical Director and Family Physician in Castle Dale, Utah. He is a skilled and kind physician who truly enjoys his specialty. He has deep experience in providing primary care services to patients of all ages. He has also been the medical director for a nursing home and for a Wilderness Therapy program. Along with his wife, Jennifer and their four children, John, Lila, Anders, and Audasi, they enjoy the outdoors and are very happy to be back home in Utah County.
“Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.” – Earl Nightingale
