Dr. Matthew McClellan, DO

Dr. McClellan answered all of my questions and helped develop a plan for what to do next.

Saw this doctor at patient first in mechanicsburg and it was the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor anywhere in my 42 years on earth and 14 years as a mother. He saw my 14 year old kiddo, barely did an examination (I had to specifically ask for ears to be examined and chest to be listened to and he reluctantly did so), refused to give them medicine to help with cough and upper respiratory infection. Had a MAJOR attitude with me (their parent). Ended the visit by saying “I’m not here to do what you want” and when I said “I’m trying to meet my child’s needs” I was asked if I was a medical professional and if so I should prescribe them myself. I am an easy going person, as is my child… we did not deserve to be treated like this. Worst doctor ever. No concern for my child whatsoever and very very rude. I was appalled. Patient first has always been good to us and this is their worst mistake bringing him on.

Saw this doctor in the Carlisle Hospital and worst bedside manner I have EVER experienced in my life. Asked me to tell him why I was there and then continued to interrupt me as I try to tell him. He did a temp fix of the problem but two days later I continue to still have pain.This doctor already had in his mind what he was going to tell me before walking into the exam room. He told me they were going to give me medicine to help and then came back an hour later asking me how the medicine worked, when in fact I NEVER even received the medication. If I had not had an IV in I would have walked out. I have never had this bad of an experience at the Carlisle Hospital ever. I work with doctor's every day and it's a shame to see a doctor like this out there treating people. No respect or empathy at all!

Rude, insulting, self-important, unhelpful. If I could give 0 stars, I would happily do so. This doctor spoke to my suicidal daughter and myself as if she were a lazy malcontent. He disagreed with her rationale for being depressed (what?!) and asked if she had tried to “get a job.” He then told her she was being rude, and when I pointed out she had autism, he dismissed that equally rudely. He threatened her with involuntary inpatient even when she said she was willing to go. He was the single least helpful person in the whole experience. I wouldn’t talk to him again if he were on his knees confessing his inadequacies.

Excellent ER Doctor! Great bedside manner, great medical knowledge and technical skills. He spent time discussing all the details of my condition and answered all our questions thoroughly. Very good at educating his patients and cares for the people who put trust in his hands. This is what an ER Doctor should be like.

I saw him in the Carlisle Hospital ER. He has to be the rudest person I’ve ever met. No bedside manner. I had waited for 2 hours when he finally saw me. He had made up his mind why I was there before he even saw me. He was wrong and talked over me while I was trying to tell him why I was there. My family doctor was out of town and was the one to direct me to go there.

Terrible bedside manner
