Dr. McClellan has retired now and I am sorry for all of her patients who had a relationship with her and can not find a physician of her caliber to see now. Dr McClellan was a fantastic, caring and knowledgeable physician. I trusted her 100%! She is no replaceable. read more

She listens to everything going on with your body and understands how to communicate from a balanced Eastern & Western Philosophy of wellness with a long term perspective on healing from the inside out. She is a brilliant Dr and a sensitive intuitive healer read more

Ive been seeing Dr Donna Flynn for three years now and i think shes the best! Very sweet patient understanding and easy to to talk to. I totally would recommend her to anyone in search of a new gynecologist. She devotes time to know everything about her patients history and life also very dedicated to their well being. read more

I just read some of the reviews posted on yelp. My heart goes out to all patients who see Medical and Dental practitioners. I have been in the dental field for over 35 years, so I have seen how insurance companies can rob patients in 3 ways. They take their money, offer minimal services and supplies, and sometimes they take their life. My uncle had melanoma, and the medical facility could not treat it aggressively because the insurance would not let the doctor do the job that would have saved his life, so he died. It seems dramatic, but that is the truth. Also, why are the insurance companies' deductibles so high? Why haven't they raised the maximum dollar amount of a1000.00 you are allowed to spend per year for dental? Didn't inflation affect them too? For this reason, medical physicians and dentists are finally fighting back to defend their patients and saying to the insurance companies, "YOU WILL NOT DICTATE HOW I TREAT MY PATIENTS." Consequently, this means they don't accept most insurance plans because they would have to accept their usual and customary fees. An example of this, my insurance fee for a pap smear is $35.00, REALLY? Are they nuts? Let's take a moment to figure out the costs the doctor has just for this procedure. There is the Dr.s time, staff, personal protective equipment for the staff, disposable equipment for the pap, and lab fees. Additionally, they have expenses for barriers, disinfectants (hospital grade), and sterilization products, so you-the patient-will not get a disease from other patients. Now, do you really think it's fair for Dr. Mc Clellan to accept a fee of $35.00 for a pap? I don't. That fee would put her out of business. Dr. Mc Clellan is one of the doctors who care and goes the extra mile. She has saved thousands of women and loves each one of us. She doesn't rush the process to collect information during a patient's visit to make an informed decision for a patient's health. Dr. McClellan does not see 100 patients a day to pay her overhead, staff, and bills. You feel heard and feel like she is doing everything possible to make sure you stay healthy. So what is the answer? Don't waste your money paying for health or dental insurance. Take the money you pay for insurance coverage and put it into a savings account. Have 3 different accounts for dental, medical, and hospitalization. If you don't use all the money, then keep adding to it. Negotiate with the Drs to see if they will give you a discount for paying them in cash. I am a middle-class person and don't have thousands to spend on medical or dental, but I do not want to see doctors who do not care to do their job correctly and misdiagnosis my health condition or minimize my pain and suffering if I really have it. I know this is frustrating because the patients are in the middle, but we patients need to say TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES, NO MORE HIGH DEDUCTIBLES; DON'T DICTATE WHAT TYPE OF TREATMENT WE SHOULD HAVE, and RAISE THE YEARLY MAXIMUM FOR DENTAL INSURANCE TO $4000.00 PER YEAR. read more

Dr. Stephanie McClellan is so much more than a Doctor! She is so intuitive in all ways and caring. Bright as can be in many areas such as Nutrition, Hormone therapy. She caught a potential huge problem for me when she saw my elevated BP upon a regular gyn exam, she immediately and calmly said she knew a great Cardiologist and suggests to all women of my age range to go and see him. well...I'd been under severe stress with my husbands health issues and did not know I had a ticking time bomb going off! Extremely high BP! She literally saved me from a potential stroke....over the last 17 years, she has led me to various helpful people, such as nutritionists etc. IO just love her and her ability to forsee my health needs! I highly recommend her! read more

I do not agree with the fellow rating and experience with Dr. McClellan or Dr. Hamilton. They also have a great nurse Donna and their entire staff is fabulous. They will work you in if needed quickly and always follow up promptly. I have been a patient for over 11 years and I find them to be the very best for pre-natal or OBGYN needs. I am sad to say that Dr. McClellan is no longer delivering babies but will gladly see you through your first trimester. After that she will refer you to another doctor. She did deliver my son and the birth was as easy as if it was staged. It was a breeze.... I will forever consider her "the baby whisperer". My only issue that they no longer are in network with Blue Cross/Anthem. Other than that, I still am a patient and will pay out of pocket because I have total confidence that I am receiving the best care available. Another bonus is the blood work and ultra sound are done right in her office making everything super convenient. read more

Overall Dr. McClellan knows her stuff and her office is very nice. However the reason why I am giving her a 1 Star is for the way she treated me as her patient. Like many on here I was pressured into getting exams done that I had not gone in there to take for my regular pap. By the end my bill was extensive and I felt overwhelmed after my visit. Almost a year later I call in to her office on Thursday to refill my prescription as there had been some miscommunication between my pharmacy and her office. The secretary at her office said to have my pharmacist call their office again. I called my pharmacist and asked them to call the office and they said they would. After waiting a day and still not getting a call from my pharmacy, I called my pharmacy and they said that they have faxed over the request 4 times and had not received a response. I decided to call her office and see if anyone was there because it was a Saturday and ended up leaving a message with the answering service. A little while later I get a voicemail from her saying that she doesn't see what the emergency is and to give her a call back. The moment I gave her a call back and said who I was she was rude and so demeaning towards me. Telling me that it was the pharmacy who was lying and that her office works hard at getting these filled. However the only communication I had received from her office was when I called. So I had only heard what the pharmacy was telling me. As it turns out it was the pharmacy's fault and not her office's, however I have never had a doctor speak so rudely to me without even fully asking me what the problem was. If I am going to someone who is looking at my private parts so closely, I am going to go to someone who cares about me as a patient and takes the time to explain things to me without being demeaning. read more

Dishonest doctor and office. Push patients to go for unnecessary test and SURGERIES. The doctor doesn't take any time to explain the reasons why and what is wrong but rushes the patients to make decision right on spot by pretending that they think of well being of the patient. I am glad we didn't go to scheduled in such a "rush" mode procedure (under General anesthesia) as after researching online and seeing the other doctor and talking to the one more over the phone, we have been told that the results of the ultrasound are totally normal and no one in right mind should advice this type of procedure based on the results (results were provided by this office that I am reviewing so it was not something that they could say they had differently). Anyone who has any health damages done by this doctor must to report her to board. And please read all less than 5 stars reviews and this doctor has either 5 or 1 stars and you will see that everyone talks about the same problems. This office focused on running medical practice as a business first and second as a place to help and treat people. Sad as doctor as a profession should be about treating people and not trying to lure them into expensive procedures and surgeries (at possible cost of their health). read more

Honestly, hands down the most caring practitioner I've ever had the privilege to see. I call on Stephanie in my scariest girl part moments and think of her fondly every time I gaze on my (now) 16 year old. She stopped delivering babies... but not care (thank goodness). If you need to have a procedure she will outline and fill you in on each aspect. If you have a followup problem she will speak with you EVEN at midnight! (And THAT is super impressive considering she no longer delivers!) I had a very frightening experience with a different doctor (twice now) and she came through in a flash for me. Setting my mind at ease, re-doing tests that even she found questionable - and finally doing a colposcopy and LEEP after another doctor wanted to either do a cone biopsy or hysterectomy, rendering me incapable of having that last baby we wanted. She did and so did we! In the middle of the night when I awoke to what I thought was a heart attack - (turns out it was just trapped gas from the procedure) She was right back to me moments after my scared call. Assuring me it was nothing and telling me how to deal. I love her. Period. Her staff is amazing. Even though I am no longer 'in network' for her offices and services, she is still who I turn too when I get news about my girly bits - she IS the only opinion I trust implicitly - knowing she cares desperately for her patients and her love of the gyno-craft is obvious. If only they could all be so fantastic!! If you are lucky enough to have her in your network of providers run - do not walk - to see her. She is really the best. read more

This place is the best. Beautiful office and relaxing ambiance to calm the nerves before exams. Great follow up on anything she finds suspicious. Dr. McClellan gives out hugs! How sweet. Very good medical care here, not only her but everybody is great. read more

Dr. McClellan is fabulous. I came to her to obtain a second opinion because my long-time gynecologist recommended I have a hysterectomy "just so I wouldn't have problems in the future." A close friend had seen her for years and just couldn't say enough good about her. So away I went. She's impressive. She does not condescend, she explains. She's thorough, thoughtful, and understanding. She takes time to listen and address my concerns, and explains under what conditions she would advise me to make various decisions. I've seen many gynecologists, and hopefully this will be my last; I'm her patient as long as she is in practice. Every test she's ordered for me has been spot-on, and frankly I'd rather pay an extra few hundred (or few thousand, for that matter) dollars for the chance to get an early diagnosis for the diseases that plague us. And when I've had to see her urgently, her staff has knocked themselves out getting me into the office. I just can't say enough good things about her and her staff. read more

This is a "1 stop shop" for anything you need. The Dr. is great but so is her supporting staff. She really looks at your family history and recommends additional testing which can be accommodated right then and there. It's all very easy. I came in today for a wellness exam and ended up getting an ultrasound of my pelvic area, ovaries, thyroid, a mammogram, and blood work. Bottom line the Dr. cares deeply about her patients. Side note: The office is extremely clean with air filters in each room and parking is a breeze. My visit today was a true delight! read more

Stephanie McClellan, MD - Exam room - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Dr. McClellan is the most caring doctor I've ever found. She has great intuitive instincts and has caught many things that other doctors have missed. She takes time with each patient, listens and actually hears you. read more

This was my first time going to Dr. McClellan's office. It is absolutely beautiful! Dr. McClellan was extremely informative and friendly and didn't make me feel uncomfortable or nervous like some previous obgyn's I have visited. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and made my overall health a priority. I will most definitely be coming back to Dr. McClellan. And I hope in the near future that she will be the one helping me through my first pregnancy. :) read more

See all

This Doctor is AMAZING! I can't say enough good things about her. I went to her for a second opinion regarding a hysterectomy after an awful experience at my previous doctor. I was terrified to see a new doctor and she immediately put my mind at ease. She was so helpful and very informative. Spent as much time as I needed to talk through things. She performed the surgery and it went perfect. I actually went back to work a week later. The staff is very friendly and very responsive. I will never go to another GYN as long as she's practicing. Highly highly recommend!! read more

Best doctor ever! Delivered my high risk twins and son and always has given me the best care over the 30.years I have known her. Don't be fooled by poor reviews by people who were unhappy... I want someone who knows what she is doing and is all business ... and addresses all my issues whether or not I am aware of them. She has intuitive knowledge and has always been thorough. I don't want hand holding, I want experience, expertise and efficiently in my doctor. read more

I've been here a 3+ years ago and thought she was the best OBGYN that I've had an appointment with. She's really caring and smart. Recently I called and I was surprised to hear that she no longer takes insurance and that because I haven't been there in 2 years I'd have to become a new patient again and pay $450 for the consultation. I understand if I was a new patient but Technically I'm not and most places recommend paps every 3 years unless you have problems and abnormal cells. Disappointed I won't be able to see her anymore. She's a great doctor if you can afford it. read more

This is the best gynecologist I have ever been to. She is very through and doesn't let anything slip by. She is very professional and treats you with the utmost respect. I am so happy to have found her. She really cares about you and remembers your name and who you are and anything that you told her last time. The staff are also amazing. They work to get you in if you are having issues and call to remind you of appointments. I also have never had to wait very long when I go on my appointments. I am so impressed with them and so grateful. read more

rude staff dismissive of concerns & don't seem worried about the virus forcing people in for their yearly pap w/no new symptoms or abnormalities to risk our lives for BC is bonkers. Stay away! They barely take any insurance and cost an arm & a vagina for sure. read more

I just called Dr McClellan's office for a new patient appointment. First phone call the office told me she is "cash only" when I said I was a new patient. She almost talked me out of coming. She didn't say out of network. She said "cash only". I spoke with my friend who referred Dr McClellan and she said "no they are just out of network". Ok. I call back. This time the office says "yes out of network" then she puts me on hold. She comes back on phone and says "Dr McClellan doesn't do surgeries any more". Very odd experience. They didn't know my name or see my face so can't be personal. If this information is wrong, then I would love to hear from office. read more

These ladies are awesome!!! I've been going to McClellan and Donna Flynn for about 10 years now. It's super clean and they have a gorgeous waiting room! The care is excellent! I've had many colposcopies and a leep procedure here; all of which were done with professionalism and very little pain. They do take my insurance (anthem ppo), however;they are so great that I would come here even if they didn't! Most the time, you do pay a small fee when you're seen and then after they submit the claim to insurance you get a check back in the mail. So if you're looking for a doctor look no more they are the best! They Work through Hoag also which is such an awesome hospital! I live in Big Bear and drive 2-3 hours to see her!!!! I've tried other places closer to me and it's a big no! For me, the drive is a very small price to pay because they are that good! Health is nothing to cheap on. Win win win! read more

I will start by saying I'm disappointed the lowest rating is one star. This office warrants zero stars. I made a new patient appointment and arrived on time for my appointment. The office followed up twice to remind me of my appointment, and each time I was told there would be a $100 fee if I did not show for the appointment. Fine, I'm a responsible adult, and would never not show up for an appointment. The new patient packet was emailed to me, I filled it out and promptly returned it. As I mentioned, I arrived on time. I was asked to sit in the waiting room and someone would come get me. I waited for 30 minutes past my appointment time. A grumpy nurse came and got me, took my blood pressure with a dirty wrist cuff, and told me the doctor would be in shortly. 45 minutes later the same grumpy nurse pops her head back in and asks if I want a cup of coffee. I told her I didn't want anything, I wanted to see the doctor and reminded her of my appointment time. 15 minutes later I walked out. One and a half hours past my appointment time. I am a consumer, the paying customer. I have respect for her time and arrived on time. I am owed the same respect in return. I understand doctors run late. And I understand schedules get crunched. But half an hour before my appointment they knew they were running late, and should have called. Expecting PAYING customers to sit and wait over an hour is absolutely rude and disrespectful. I won't be back. read more

I read the one star reviews and I strongly disagree with every word written. Dr. McClellan is by far the best doctor I have ever seen. If asking a patient for an ultrasound is considered an unnecessary test, I would bet there is a greater percentage of people that would counter that it wasn't unnecessary at all. She is thorough and I am thankful for that. She diagnosed fibroids that eventually had to be removed due to a variety of symptoms they were causing, she was there for me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her bedside manner is unmatched. Her treatment is respectful and caring. If she is asking questions about your personal life, it is because it's part of her job to know you and your habits including your sexuality. She is a whole body, woman's doctor who cares about your long term health. If she is 'rushed' it is because she has a full office of patients (nothing new here with any doctor nowadays). I doubt she would have a problem repeating information if you have questions. As far as out of pocket expenses, welcome to the world of dealing with insurance companies and lack of coverage. All bills paid upfront are sent to your insurance company upon request to help meet your annual deductible if they are not covered and reimbursed. She is an expert at women's health. I feel very lucky to have her as my doctor and the negative reviews, at best, are an inaccurate description of the type of care you would receive as her patient. She is a five star doctor no doubt about it. read more

Went to her for a chronic UTI problem. Out of nowhere she starts testing me for STD's while asking me inappropriate/judgmental questions about my partner that I already knew the answers to. She made me feel horrible about myself before even getting to know me or my situation at all. I waited an hour to see her and when I did, I saw her for max 10 minutes (that's including the testing she did). I left that appointment feeling worse than I did when entering the place. Worst part is that I paid 200 DOLLARS FOR THAT VISIT. It's been 3 days and they still don't have my results, even though Dr. McClellan said they would. The nurse at the front desk who I talked to about my results was incompetent. She had no idea what tests I had done and when they'd be in. She also sounded inconvenienced when I asked her when I'd get the actual results back. Needless to say that'll be my last time going there. P.S. Planned Parenthood even has better service than this place. ------ UPDATE: I had no STD's. Shocker. read more

The best doctor that I have ever had! She is so fantastic! Very kind hearted and very easy to talk too. As everyone knows going to a gynecologist and going through a hysterectomy is no day at the park. Stephanie genuinely cares about her patients and their comfort and my procedures are easy to get through. Everyone I talked to about Hysterectomy's said I would be in so much pain and in bed for a month. My hysterectomy was done so perfectly and I was up and walking the very next day and was back to normal in a week. read more

Don't go here. They are nice and sweet and tell you your insurance will cover a procedure, tell you your out of pocket expense, and have you sign a form saying what you should expect your bill to be. Then, months later, youll receive a $1200 dollar bill in the mail. Their "billing department" codes incorrectly for well womans exams, does not answer the phone, nor return calls. Don't go here if you need to know what your paying up front before a procedure. I called my insurance prior to an IUD insertion and was advised by my insurance that it is 100% covered and I'd only be responsible for my regular office visit of $30. I literally signed a paper saying this and 3 months later, received the bill today for the $1200. This is completely unacceptable and unfortunately, this is not the only time this has happened. They also told me it was a requirement to have a $300 ultrasound prior to IUD placement, which per my insurance and doing research and talking with others who have had the procedure, this is an absolute lie. This place is a scam. Disgusting. read more

I have been seeing Dr. McClellan for twelve years. She helped me with getting pregnant and managing a family history of uterine cancer- there is no one else I trust more with my health- reproductive or otherwise. She even guided me through a very frightening neurologic issue when I did not have a primary physician I felt confident in. As a licensed health care practitioner, I will say this in regards to other reviews: if you have questions about a test and do not feel they are warranted or adequately explained you are under no duress to complete them. You have the ability at any time to decline, or postpone them even under the most emergent of situations provided you are conscious and of sound mind. I have had a pelvic ultrasound at the office and the clinical reasoning for it was quite thoroughly explained at the time. I have never felt pressured to have a test done there. read more

Dr. McClellan, Donna Flynn and the rest of their team are phenomenal. To start, their office is clean, calm, and has everything right there (i.e. ultrasound, LabCorp..). Not only from my experience, but from the experiences of my friends and family as well, I know that Dr. McClellan and Donna Flynn really care about their patients. They are thorough and really care about the mental and physical well being of their patients. I highly recommend them! read more

I've been going to Dr. McClellan for over 20 years and she is a 10 star rating for me. I live almost 500 miles away and I still fly to see her for my yearly visits or if I have any issues. She is caring and what I love about her is her honesty. She is always looking for new ways to resolve any issues. I will continue to fly in to see her. She has helped me even with issues that aren't OBGYN. She is thorough and has found other medical issues because of this. There isn't enough room to write all the wonderful things I could say about her. I am so lucky to have her for my doctor. Even when I lost my husband several years ago she was there for me. Her staff is great. Especially Brenda. I just can't say enough about how great everyone is. read more

As I read the other reviews I feel I am not alone in saying that they overcharge and run many un-necessary tests that end up costing hundreds of dollars out of pocket. on top of that the front desk person is unprofessional and incompetent at best. she insisted I pay a bill which I told her I had not ever received. she was rude and I finally paid it--then sitting in the exam room she calls me and yells at me for not making it to the appt-I am in the office at this time! (they had mixed up the files and made me pay another persons bill) talk about hipaa violations! they coded me as a well visit even though I had told them it was a sick visit which I am still fighting with the billing department about. I asked for the results of ALL the testing she did- which now they want me to pay again to come in to review that. there has to be better doctors out there! read more

Dr. McClellan and her NP Donna are amazing. They delivered my daughter Katie 22 years ago after I had a tough time getting pregnant. They held my hand through low fetal movement scares and listened with respect to my my hippie requests. Their kindness, humor, and interest in me as a person made all the difference in my high risk pregnancy. Yes, you may have to wait sometimes. I was the one that made appointments go late when I had emergencies and they had to work me in. If you are thinking of seeing Dr. McCllean - do it. You will receive the best care and when your baby is 22 will still get emotional over how well you were treated and your love and respect for these caring women. read more

I love DR!!! She's fast thorough and gets to the point. Highly recommend. I drive an hour to her office. Well worth it.

Dr McClellan is very thorough and because of that I was able to quickly determine what was going wrong. I highly recommend her.

EXCELLENT Gyn. / Primary Dr who understands each patient is individual while she assesses & treats the whole person rather than a specific part. Only wish i had been coming here years ago! Her staff is professional and followed up with test results as well as cc's you the actual results if you wish. Lab, ultrasounds, mammo all within her building - SO convenient. Parking is validated and convenient. Beautiful and spotless office. Only thing missing were hooks on the back of the door to hang your clothes - if that's my only complaint, I can honestly say this practice rocks! read more

Amazing doctor. I've seen her every December for the last 3 years (my birthday month so I remember) for yearly wellness checkups. Since I've been a patient of hers, I feel like I can rest assured knowing that my reproductive health is in the best hands possible. I usually call a month before to get the appointment I want. I've never had to wait longer than 10 minutes in the waiting lounge once I've been checked in. Dr. McClellan is very thorough, which I appreciate because of some scary family history I have. And even though I see her only once a year, she remembers everything I told her about family and my health from the year before. I love that if blood work or a pelvic ultrasound, or urine testing is necessary, it's all conveniently located in the same building and no additional appointments are needed; you can just walk down the hallway and the technicians are there waiting for you. 5 stars for sure. FYI-her office doesn't accept Anthem Blue Cross. Just so I could affordably keep seeing her, I switched to Cigna. Never have any billing problems, and have only paid my co-pay every visit. read more

Thankfully I didn't listen to any derogatory reviews and spoke to a current patient who loved Dr. McClellan.... I waited three weeks for my appt, as she is that popular.... and after dealing with Kaiser and being told "lets just wait" to any medical issues, i was thankful to find a doctor who listened, tested and immediately put me on medication. The staff went above and beyond to compensate for my huge needle phobia and a full blood work and ultrasound was done and definitely necessary..... I felt like I was being seen by a real medical office and not being pushed along on a conveyor belt..... the staff was exceptionally sweet and the office is just beautiful..... my visit was paid in cash and it was not a ridiculous amount... in fact, I had called two other doctors who treat for menopause and one informed me that the office visit was 1,000.00..... Dr. McClellan is a smart, kind and very caring doctor and I am going to thank my friend who referred me..... I hope anyone going thru horrible menopause symptoms makes an appointment and gets the tests and help needed.... tonight I feel a little better physically and a million percent better mentally.... thanks to all the staff for that.

I can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. McClellan, Donna and her staff are. I have been a patient for over 20 years and I trust Dr. McClellan completely. She is extremely knowledgable and cutting edge, and focuses on optimal health and disease prevention. She is consistently thorough, patient and kind and clearly cares about her patients' health and well-being. I recommend her highly!! read more

Dr. McClellan and her staff especially NP Donna and Annette are amazing! Very patient, attentive, understanding and caring. Dr. McClellan gave me great/conservative treatment options and I absolutely trust her opinion, recommendations, and treatment! I can't say enough good things about Dr. McClellan! I would recommend her to anyone in need of a doctor! read more

This office runs consistently late. I waited over 2 1/2 hours for the Dr. last week only to be told I had to see the nurse P. as the Dr. was running behind and went out to lunch. I am a cash "customer" and they want me to pay the same amount to see someone who has less than 1/4 of the training as a physician? Not to mention I was actually hungry too after waiting for the Dr. for almost 3 hours! Needless to say I have had it after 8 years. Patients have rights and deserve respect. Shame on the Dr. AND the office staff for letting this situation get so out of control that it forces a patient to leave. There was a reason that the partner broke off years ago. It just took me until now to see it. read more

Dr. McClellan and Donna are both amazing. They do whatever it possibly takes to make you feel better and get to the bottom of what's wrong with how you are feeling. They care so much about each and every patient. I never have felt so welcomed in a doctors office before. They saved my life with my diagnosis, and continue to help me get through my days. Dr. McClellan is so sweet and takes her job very seriously and always puts the patient first. Highly recommend read more
