Dr. Macdonald’s career is marked by developing and honing his skills to effectively provide radiotherapy for a variety of cancer types for both females and males. 
 
Dr. Macdonald’s long-time interest in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and advanced radiotherapy techniques have inspired him to seek for ways to expand the role of radiotherapy in treating a variety of primary and recurrent malignancies. His participation in research groups, clinical trials, and multi-disciplinary care teams allows opportunity for patients to undergo additional courses of radiation, once thought impractical, to achieve control, relief and confidence, in addition to the standard radiotherapy options. 
 
In his spare time, Dr. Macdonald enjoys exploring the world with his wife, spending time with his 5 children, participating in a variety of fitness activities, barbecuing, and cheering for his favorite sports teams.
