Patrick J McClellan, DDS

Great dentist and office. Everyone was friendly and the wait was not long at all. The dentist is very kind and personable. He thoroughly checked my teeth and x-​rays. The cleaning was thorough and gentle (thank you!), and the dental hygienist was personable as well. The hygienist also gave me a great sample for a cold sore I had –it’s working great.
Convenient if you work downtown — you just walk in the building, walk through the elevators, turn left, go down the escalator, turn left again, and walk PAST the people’s bank (some bank) and the office is right beside the bank on your right (sort of under the escalator). The people at the front desk for the building can also explain.
The only thing I would mention (sort of silly, but still) is that when I first sat down, Eminem rap (angry rap) was playing as the music selection, and I thought that was slightly stressful music for a dentist office, but I think it was just on top 40 stuff, and I didn’t really notice the music after that. Maybe choose a more chill or calming music? :)
They book up fast, so expect to wait a few months before you can get in if you’re a new patient.

Great, no-​nonsense dental practice. There seem to be so many flashy dentists out there too busy trying to sell you veneers and other goofy cosmetic procedures that they forget about just taking care of your teeth. I’ve always had great care, reasonable prices, and felt comfortable with the folks at Dr. McClellan’s. If you have an «emergency» they can squeeze you in and their scheduled appointment times are very convenient for downtown workers. Overall, doesn’t get much better in my book. Thanks Dr. McClellan!

I hate going to the dentist as much as the next guy, but I’m so grateful to have found Dr. McClellan. You may have to wait for a few days to see him, but trust me, it’s worth it.
I had a filling done somewhere else and it was a botched job. I went back to the same place several months later, they redid the procedure, and it didn’t get any better. Out of desperation, I reached out to Dr. McClellan on recommendation, and it was the best thing I could’ve done for myself. He told me honestly that he needed to redo the procedure and although it was a huge bummer, I bit the bullet and went for it. My tooth healed super nicely and it’s been over a year without pain or soreness! I thought my mouth was messed up forever.
His techs are the sweetest, most efficient women in the business. His practice runs like a well-​oiled machine, and I trust these pearly whites to no one else in Houston. Not sure if it’s thanks to the quality of insurance I have, but he’s never broken my bank, and I’ve had a few procedures done here.
Thanks, Dr. McClellan for what you do.

I set up an appointment 3 weeks in advance. They never checked my insurance until 5 minutes before my appointment, then they told me that my plan is not covered by them. Seriously? Every dentist and doctor that I’ve been to checks this when the appointment is made to ensure they aren’t wasting patient’s time. Just be careful here if you’re a new patient! They were nice about it… but they still wasted three weeks of my time.

I have been a loyal patient for over 12 years. I haven’t worked downtown for 8 years but could not imagine starting with a new dentist. I have had various hygienists over the years and they have all been friendly and professional. I only want to see Dr. McClellan for one minute. That means my teeth are in good condition. I have had different procedures including cavities, crowns, mouth guard, and overlays. All of them have been very positive experiences. I love the early morning appointment options. I highly recommend this dentist.

I love how I can get early (7:20am) appointments, so that the rest of my day can remain uninterrupted.
They’re always quick, gentle, and personable. I think they accept most forms of insurance as well.
I took off a star because sometimes their bills are difficult to decipher. They are helpful if you bring to the in person. One just has to find the time.
Also, I don’t work anywhere near the tunnel, so when I walk to the Dentists’ office in casual wear, I feel awfully self-​conscious. But hey, that’s my issue, and I can cry about it if I want to, but I should probably get back to work.

Dr. Mac and his staff are fantastic, and FAST! I work downtown, so I love that I can just go downstairs any time of day, get my cleaning, and come back to work. No driving, no wasted mornings, etc. As mentioned in other reviews, appointments are hard to come by, though, so be sure to schedule your cleaning way in advance.

I needed a cleaning and check-​up, but my hours aren’t really conducive to middle-​of-​the-​day appointments. Saved by Dr. McClellan and a 7:00 a.m. appointment!
I trooped through the tunnels until I got to Shell One Plaza, where I was saved by a passerby from walking around aimlessly. If you’re in the tunnels and see the Patrick McClellan sign, walk up the few steps into Shell One and go to the right. Just before the escalator to the street-​level floor, there’s a little nook to the right — Suite 190 is right there.
My hygienist was friendly, polite, and fantastic. The cleaning was great, she got tons of coffee stains off (note to self: drink less coffee), and reminded me to floss more. Yes, ma’am.
Dr. McClellan was similarly friendly and professional, spent a few moments poking around, and confirmed that my teeth look great.
The whole experience was efficient and warm — definitely returning in six months.

Great dentist that I highly recommend and staff are friendly and helpful also.

I saw the reviews for Dr. McClellan and as he was in in my plan, I decided to give him a try. I’ve been looking for a new dentist after horrible experiences with Dentiq (on W. Gray) — where their main mission is to upsell you and get you to buy anything and everything that you don’t need. A $ 300 electric toothbrush? Yes, it’s absolutely essential. Veneers for #3,000 a tooth? You would benefit greatly. Ummm… BULLSHIT. Plus, walking in there was like walking into some trendy getaway spa. Which though that might sound good to some people, it isn’t what I’m looking for when I’m at the DOCTOR. I want to feel like I’m at a legitimate medical facility, with a REAL doctor who knows what he’s talking about and whose aim is to treat PATIENTS, not CUSTOMERS. But I digress. And thank goodness I found Dr. McClellan’s office. The dental hygienist was so nice and gentle! They didn’t try to talk me into a bunch of mouth work I don’t need, and they were so helpful about things I can do on my own to help with my oral care. Like FLOSSING — which they gave me an abundance of. All different kinds so I could try them all and find my favorite! I just can’t express how happy I am to have found my dentist! And Dr. McClellan should teach a course to other dentists on how to run a practice!

If you’re downtown, this is THE best dentist office to go to. They have early appointments (I think as early as 7:30am) and are very efficient so you can be in and out in 30 minutes (or less) The hygenists are friendly and Dr. McClellan is wonderful. They even go above and beyond to fix little things they can.

I love this place! My hygenist does a great job cleaning my teeth every time. They never try to get you to do «extra» treatments (which my old dentist used to try to do). They’re efficient, rarely (if ever) late for appointments, and do great work.
Very convenient to those in downtown. I would continue coming here even if I wasn’t in downtown b/​c I’ve come to trust their work.
You have to make appointments well in advance b/​c they are very popular and book up fast… probably b/​c they have so many happy customers.
