Meet Dr. John McDonald
Dr. John McDonald, continuing the tradition of great smiles, healthy teeth in a warm, caring environment.
A second-generation orthodontist, Dr. John grew up in Salem and graduated from South Salem High School. He attended OHSU to earn his dental degree, then served as an officer in the US Army for four years. There, he completed a dental residency and served in both Korea and Germany. After returning to the States, Dr. John completed an additional two years of specialty training at the University of Pennsylvania to become an orthodontist. Today, Dr. John is one of the few board-certified orthodontists in the area. He is proud to be able to continue the practice his father, Dr. Terry McDonald, opened decades before.
If you’re looking for an experienced orthodontist who’s passionate about his craft, and who loves the Salem area and its people, you’ve found him. Dr. John welcomes you and your family to McDonald Orthodontics.
