I have been a patient of Dr. McLains for 11 years and I have found her to not only be knowledgeable and a good listener but also very approachable!

I have always trusted/liked Dr. McLain. In 2020 I have to say I was very much on the fence on continuing to go there as a majority of my experiences were negative and very frustrating. The lack of communication/clarity was way out of what I had experienced in years past and was totally unacceptable to me. I was unsure as to what was causing this; Northwestern's policy's or Dr. McLain herself or a combination of both. This last visit, was a 'test' for myself. Depending on how the visit went would determine whether I stayed with her or moved on. I am very happy to say that the visit was much better and restored my faith in that I was not going to the wrong place. Hopefully, this change is not temporary.

Her Nurses are friendly. Not long wait time. Dr McClain is always thorough and researches your file for history. Takes time she probably doesn't have to discuss issues. PAs not as thorough sometimes but always friendly.

I appreciate Dr. McLain’s focus on deferring or avoiding medications. She says the longer your body isn’t relying on medication to regulate itself, the better.
