I don't even know where to begin Dr Mcclairen is one of the best surgeons I know. For the last seven years of my life, I have struggled to figure out what was causing abscess after abscess in my stomach, after I had a procedure to get A tubal ligation. I had multiple hospital stays and IV antibiotics everywhere I turned told me they wasn't for sure, There was no answer. I needed to lose weight because for them to proceed it would be very dangerous.They didn't even know what they were doing or what they were looking at . They wanted my BMI to be lower. I seen multiple surgeons over the years and it was the same thing. One day I was driving down university Avenue and I noticed a little brick building and it looked so familiar to me. I just couldn't understand why, that's when it hit me that is the Surgeon who did my gallbladder surgery in 2015. He was the one that had 100% I needed him. I was confused not knowing if this is something he could do but it was worth a shot I did visit him in clinic and he told me weight was not a problem for him it can make things difficult, but he was not concerned We need to fix the problem, but I was so shook up about the weight. I told him just give it some time to see if I could lose a few pounds . Finally, I had a really bad abscessed or whatever they would call it and I was bleeding from my belly button. I had to go to the hospital and be admitted, I looked at that ER doctor in the face and I told him there's only one person I want to operate on me to figure out what this is and that is that Dr Mcclairen he said I'm not sure if we can make that happen . Tears filled my eyes as I was completely scared. Five minutes later Mcclairen walked through my ER room door I was relieved. He said hey what's going on? Are you ready to take care of this at that moment? I knew it would be better from here. No questions asked he was ready. I had to do it even though I had been scared for years even the thought of going back into surgery after this, gave me the chills and made me sick to my stomach, but that day I was so confident when I seen his face. I stayed in the hospital. I completed my IV antibiotics. I went home within a week. He had me scheduled for surgery. He did my surgery found things that needed to be removed and repaired my hernia and I am on week one of recovery I seen him today and everything looked great. I will continue to recover. I had tears in my eyes today after walking out just knowing that I have someone I who truly cared and who really went above and beyond to make sure I'm still here and I made it through surgery OK and did everything possible to fix the issue with no questions asked . he is an amazing surgeon. He is very smart. He is humble explains everything to you makes you feel like you're someone and not just the next patient. He is truly and honestly a gift from God thank you so much ... read more
