I found him to be extremely kind and patient during my evaluation. As a matter of fact, his normal assistant was out sick, and the covering assistant told me she loved working for him because he took care of so many of the scheduling details. When I told him that I hoped to schedule surgery by the end of the year because my co-pay had been met for the year, he went out himself and grabbed the scheduling book and came in and sat down with me and entered everything in the computer himself.
My surgery was eight hours long and while I was in recovery, he grabbed a candy bar, because he said he was starving. and then ran 5 miles. Then he showed up in my recovery room to tell me how well everything went. Every single nurse and assistant that I dealt with at the hospital with all of my pre-testing all the way through my recovery could not say enough about good about him. They absolutely love him. They would smile and say “oh Dr. McClendon we just love him. He’s the best.” I was certainly happy to hear that since everything was already scheduled!!
I’ve had three zoom follow up appointments with him and each one. He has been kind and spends as much time as I want asking questions.
