Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

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

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

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

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

After observing Dr. McLarens behavior and lack of professionalism during my daughters delivery of her stillborn? son, I would NOT recommend this doctor for anyone. Not only did she add misery to my already heartbroken daughter by being rough and treat her as if she was an animal giving birth instead of a human, she NEVER once addressed my daughter or her husband during the process of literally ripping my still born grandson and his placenta from my daughter?. Noone should be treated this way??

Dr. McLaren is very friendly. I have a sense of comfort and trust during my visits. I've had some bad experiences with gynecologists in San Antonio. The others simply don't have time to talk about my concerns. Dr. McLaren not only listens to concerns, offer suggestions, but also allow me time to think about it. I never feel forced with her. I felt blessed when a coworker recommended her, she is awesome.
