Dorcas A. McLennan, MD

Dr. McLennan has the worst bedside manner of any doctor I’ve ever encountered. She routinely spits back venomous and condescending comments when my wife and I go in for our checkups. Every time I ask a question and attempt to take part in a constructive conversation on the health of my wife and impending child, Dr. McLennan belittles me and intentionally excludes me from being part of the equation for my family’s future.
In the case of spouses/​significant others, It is very clear that Dr. McLennan emphatically hates men. Yelling, making crassly-​worded or snide comments, rolling her eyes, or flat-​out ignoring you is something to be prepared for when going into the office with your wife or partner.
The engagement that Dr. McLennan has with my wife is hardly any different. With each visit, we come away feeling belittled or stupid for attempting to lean on our ‘doctor’ for what we feel are invaluable insights to navigating the pregnancy journey. Given how late we are now in the pregnancy (37 weeks), we feel isolated and backed into a corner without any other options.
See this doctor at your own risk. If you want to come away feeling like less of a person after each visit, then «Dr. Dorie» is the right person for you.

Dr. Mclennan is an above board professional who will always tell you like it is. I started seeing Dr. Mclennan when I first got married, as I knew we wanted to have children. She was wonderful as my OB! Then I found out I was pregnant and she was informative and supportive the whole way through. She supported my wishes to have a natural childbirth with no pain meds and as little intervention as possible. Although an on call doctor delivered my baby (the birth wasn’t pre-​scheduled) :-), Dr. McLennan made a point to visit us within 24 hours of our Baby girl’s arrival! I highly recommend Dr. McLennan because while she isn’t warm and fuzzy, she is highly intelligent and helped guide me through making the best choices for me and my pregnancy/​delivery!

If I could give this doctor a no star review, I would! Completely horrendous bedside manner and a cranky attitude are not great qualities when it comes to Ob Gyn care. I was appalled by her behavior and have since tried to avoid her at all costs. I am scared about the possibility of her delivering my son in November.
