Everything was wonderful! I appreciate Dr Mcclay's calmness and experience and how he literally explained everything to me. I never have any other doctor do this and it might be the only docotor appointments I leave feeling less anxious about my child's care!

We recommend Dr. McClay and his office to everyone! Everyone is so patient, kind, and helpful to me and my children. My kids absolutely love coming and seeing everyone and have been pretending to check each others hearing and look in each others ears and mouths since our appointment! Due to my husbands work schedule, I often have to take my 3 young children alone and everyone has always gone above and beyond to make the experience as easy as possible for us. Thank you all so much!

Nurse and Dr. McClay were wonderful. They made my son and I feel totally at ease. My son had been suffering from some serious issues and Dr. McClay performed a quick procedure and by that afternoon he was feeling so much better. He communicated with both my son and I and was very personable. Highly recommend this doctor.

The wait was extremely long. We were in the waiting room for almost 45 minutes (30 mins past the appointment time) and also had a wait in the exam room.
April 05, 2024
Really liked Dr. McClay
April 01, 2024
Dr. McClay is fantastic! My daughter has been a regular patient of his since she was not quite a year old and is now 6 1/2 and has been "released" to an "as-needed" basis. Dr. McClay was her surgeon for ear tubes (and removal) plus removal of adenoids and tonsils. She used to be sick every month and has been rarely sick (maybe twice) since her adenoids and tonsils were removed 3 years ago. He has a great bedside manner, made us feel very at ease with all her treatments and got results. We would highly recommend him (and this office) to anyone.
March 14, 2024
Dr. McClay patiently answered our questions concerning a surgery for our son for 30 minutes. He made sure we were well informed as well as comfortable with our decision. We appreciated his willingness to hear us out and explain all of the data and research to my husband and I both. Very helpful for our family in making such a big decision for our 4 year old!
February 20, 2024
Dr Mcclay. He's the sole reason we came to and continue to remain with him for 7 years.
