Dr. Matthew Douglas Mclaren, MD

did not treat me with dignity and respect .he didn't understand the level of my pain He offered some injections and then come I said no I have chronic and walk Out on me. . Said he cant help me. I don't recommend any one go there.injections don't solve anything'

This man has no real compassion. He may be smart, but he has no heart. Helena misses Buzz so much!!

This “doctor” gives the profession a bad name.

As a bariatric patient that cannot take NSAIDS, I was referred to this doctor for chronic pain care by when my long-time doctor retired. This doctor has rejected prescribing anything without NSAIDS and has repeatedly tried to find ways to push different NSAIDS on me, both orally and topically, although contraindicated for my health history. When I refused NSAIDS, acetaminophen and Ice packs were the only other choice provided. However, he is always willing to suggest costly scans and back injections. He also hasn’t followed up on the things he said he would do, like coordinating with my primary doctor, or scheduling further procedures.

I saw Dr. McLaren for the first time a few months ago and he was very helpful and really seemed to care about my issues. I would say he was almost always on time, sometimes I had to wait in the waiting room maybe 5 minutes but never much longer. he helped me a lot with my pain in my lower back from a car crash years ago. I like him and would recommend him to anyone. his staff is very nice too.

Horrible, arrogant egomaniac.

I visited Dr. McLaren this summer because of a condition that has robbed me of the enjoyment of my life. I have been in intense pain for so long, I had forgotten what it felt like to be 'normal.' Dr. McLaren was recommended by my primary doctor and I had to drive an hour to see him. It was so worth the drive. Dr. McLaren is a very caring person, who also has a good sense of humor and made me feel relaxed. His office staff is very warm and friendly and worked with me to scheduling appointments that were convenient. I ended up having a procedure done by Dr. McLaren to relieve my pain, and the experience was very positive. I felt prepared for what was going to happen, and after the procedure his staff called to check on me. I felt like they valued me as a patient. I am now almost pain-free and am enjoying my life and my grandchildren for the first time in a long time. Highly recommend.

He was really good and seemed to care the 1st visit, then it went down hill quick. I travel 2 hours to see him and felt like a number. I asked questions and got no answers but more appointments. Then recieved a letter from him not signed saying that he was no longer going to be caring for me. Yeah thanks for nothing. Don't recommend him to anyone else ever

Started out great like he would do anything it took for the pain but after the first visit he just pretty much ignored me

Dr. Mclaren is a caring and very competent doctor, who may seem a bit distracted at times but, at least in my case, shows full understanding for what he is told. From there he and his excellent staff make a good treatment plan IAW the patient's condition and situation. I'd recommend Dr. Mclaren to anyone who has chronic pain issues and is looking for a caring practice. Again, his mannerisms make him appear as if he isn't listening but he is. He is backed up by highly competent staff for both front and back office. He resolved pain issues that had plagued me for years by a combination of compassionate questioning/exam, focused diagnostic testing, and careful monitoring of his treatment plan.
