I was very surprised to see how I was treated by Dr. Mclean. I am in my 30 s and have been in shape my whole life however due to hormonal changes, I have been struggling to lose the last 15 pounds even through rigorous exercises and dieting. I truly thought I would be an easy job and great for liposuction.
I was put in a small room with no air conditioning on a day of 38 degrees. I was sweating ( I dont really sweat often) as I waited for the doctor. The nurse first came and said I was a great candidate for liposuction. When Dr. Mclean came, he told me to lift my shirt up and his exact words were Oh Dear! . When a person is struggling with a problematic area that has affected their confidence , it doesn't make them feel any better to hear that. He followed by saying I'm not a great candidate and I have too much excess skin. I asked him to explain and he made me sit on the patient bed as he pointed and told me to look at my rolls. I tried to stay positive by suggesting what his nurse had told me, that because of my age I may have a good result with my skin s elasticity post procedure. He replied by chuckling you re not very old but you re not very young either . I told him I am having trouble just trying to envision what I can expect, he told me I wont be happy with the results and there s nothing he can do to help me with envisioning a result.
I have never written a negative google review but I think people need to be aware of my experience. I left in tears and extremely discouraged. I will never go back to that clinic again.
