We love Dr McCleland! Wouldn't go anywhere else! Been seeing her for 16 years!
We have been patients of Dr McCleland's since 2010. She's the best and we always have the best experience with her.
We've always had a great and consistent experience at Phoenix Children's Mesa Pediatrics. We've always had Dr. McClelland as our primary care physician and she has always been amazing.
My son was really, really overly active, I would say, in our appointment, and he was a bit hyperactive, I'd say. And Dr. McClellan handled it really, really well. She was so patient with him and was able to engage him so that she could, get a look at his ears and his mouth and his eyes and everything like this. She was definitely able to, do the exam despite his activity. It was, I really appreciated the fact she just kind of was like, this is what five- year- olds do. And you know, it made me sort of feel more comfortable the way that she managed the appointment.
Dr. McClelland was extremely knowledgeable and kind. She took a good amount of time asking questions and trying to understand and explain.
