Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My experience with Dr, McClure for a full reverse shoulder replacement was very positive. He was empathetic and professional. However, every other visit, I saw his assistant and found her to be unpleasant and, frankly, uncaring.

Special thanks to Dr McClure
The thing that stood out more than anything about Dr McClure was I was immediately comfortable from the very first appointment was so very concerned and showed that concern and he would always ask over and over if I had any more questions and another thing that I found very special about this particular orthopedic surgeon is she is going to spend the amount of time with you that he feels necessary it's not about a time frame or a Time matter it is about getting your questions answered and he has no problem with doing that his bedside manners was absolutely stellar right before my surgery my wife obviously was there with me and she said something the next day that really resonated with me and she said he was a very nice man and he was very concerned about your surgery and that's what I feel means more than anything to me if I could give the man 10 Stars I would he's welldeservant of it this raining

Best Orthopedic Dr. around!
Great Dr.! Explains everything. Walks you through the process. Answers any and all questions. Post op follow up’s are always exceptional! Explains how the surgery went and the process involved and shows you. Great recommendations for post op care. I was so happy the first time I had shoulder surgery that I went right back to him after I tore my bicep tendon. Another excellent experience. Thanks again!

Awesome doctor and staff.
Everything was explained to me and I was given options about having surgery. I opted for surgery, Dr. McClure done a great job, explained everything to me I needed to know and supplied me with my prescriptions directly after surgery before I left recovery. I would recommend him and his staff to everyone with 100% confidence they'd be satisfied too.

Top notch Doctor.
Dr. McClure is a real find. He takes his time meeting with you, explains exactly what he’s doing, and lays out plans for future treatment. His congenial personality makes you feel calm at your first meeting. I trust him totally. I hope you will schedule an appointment with him. You will see what I mean!

Informative, patient, highly recommend
Ditto all of the other positive reviews here. He has reconstructed my ACL in one knee and done a reverse shoulder replacement and in a few weeks he will do my knee replacement. Nothing but good things to say about his manner, expertise and professionalism. He is calm and patient yet concerned and informative as well as letting the patient make up their own mind if they want surgery at this time or not. Comfortable demeanor as if talking to a friend.

Excellent giving of his time to listen to what I have to say. Doesn’t try to convince me that he’s the best orthopedic surgeon. He gives me the option of choosing him or recommending someone else for my surgery should I need it. Gives me options for treatment. Would highly recommend him.

Dr. McClure has performed a total left shoulder replacement and a left knee replacement on myself and has performed a reverse shoulder replacement on both the right and left shoulder of my wife. We both think Dr. McClure is a highly skilled professional in medical procedures, listening skills, bedside manors and the ability to sit, listen and talk about your situation without time constraints. My 2nd knee replacement was performed by Dr. McClure after my previous surgeon retired. This incision was closed with glue and a small wound vac was used. The wound vac helps keep the incision from opening and also helps in the healing process. After 3 weeks, the incision looks incredible. My therapist said Dr. McClure is a highly skilled surgeon and all his patients do extremely well. He also said he does not understand why more surgeons do not use the same procedures in closing incisions from knee replacements. Dr. McClure is highly recommended by my wife and I for any orthopedic situation.

Just had a knee replacement after being followed for several years. The surgery has been very successful along with physical therapy to retain complete joint function. Dr McClure has a very low infection rate, and there has been no infection.

I seen Dr Scott B McClure for pain in my Right Arm. He was very knowledgeable and compassionate to the pain I was experiencing. He had a good ear to listen, and hear me out while I explained my pain area's. His assessment was a possibility of small a small tear in rotator cup and a cubital tunnel issue in the bend of my elbow. He started with injection to arm shoulder area, brace along with physical therapy for treatment plan for healing. I couldn't have been more pleased . EXCELLENT!

Dr. McClure is heartless and could care less about his patients. I've done everything asked of me. My diagnoses is a very painful, but he refuses to give any Relief even though he has my diagnoses. You have to be really evil human being in order to treat another person that way, especially your own patients.

I saw Dr. McClure for a shoulder problem which required surgery, physical therapy and office follow up. He was amazing in that he was very knowledgeable and always explained procedures. He is easy to talk to and very kind. I have already recommended patients to him and he would definitely be my doctor if I ever need further orthopedic treatment. His office staff is friendly and nice. Waiting time was sometimes a little lengthy but it is a very busy office.
