Not certain he really had all the facts.

He is amazing! I have been dealing with a declining back from 2012 until he did my surgery in late 2023. The loss of my ability to do some of things I loved doing most. I am proud to say that his surgery was a great success and I am back to being happy and living my life the way I want to. Thank you Doc.

Very straight shooter tells it like it is and doesn’t pull any punches something I appreciate in a physician. Also a golfer so he can’t be all bad

He was up front with me making me feel things aren't that bad. I left feeling better.

He seems great! Thorough. Kind.

I literally do not have the words to express how amazing I feel Dr McLennan is he has made me feel so confident to this whole situation that I started out so stressed about I instantaneously had relief when I walked for the first time his bedside manner is a 10 rating and that doesn’t even begin to give him enough justice His professionalism is top-notch as a physician and surgeon

Could he be in any more of a hurry to get to the next patient to make more money. Not sure I was able to speak or ask a question that didn’t piss him off and waste his time

I would recommend Dr. MacLennon to others with back problems. Appreciate his approach to treating my problem. Physical therapy and steroid injection worked well. Liked his honesty and manner.

A DR that realy cares. Day of surgery7:00 at night . He is watching me walk.

This was a very short visit and my problem did not require surgery . Dr. M did give me information concerning where to seek further help and wrote a prescription for PT which I will be doing. Would recommend him to others.

Listens!

Very pleasant and caring doctor.

Dr. MacLennan was very personable and answered all my questions.

Good explanation of my problem. Worked with me to make a plan of care. Listened to my concerns.

Top notch facility with the highest quality of care.

Your bedside manner comes across as condescending. It seemed that you had your diagnosis regarding my husbands condition without listening to what he had to say and simply wanted to move on by recommending a pain therapist. We obtained the MRI imaging and got a second opinion the following day, which contradicted everything you said

I’m not sure if he listened to me. I feel frustrated because I’m not getting any results and it is hard to live with this pain. To his credit, he did order more tests so maybe something will come from this visit.

Explained everything very well

Great guy, always a straight shooter.

Great job !

Answered all my questions. Allowed my daughter to join consultation by phone.

Talented

Cheerful Knowledgeable Made me feel better Encouraging

Very good

I am very pleased with my experience at Steindler an with Dr. MacLennan. The check in process is fast the employees are professional and empathetic . I am truly grateful for Dr. MacLennan who performed ACDF surgery . He took the time to explain my options and was very supportive during the entire process through steroid injections and eventually surgery. I was in extreme pain and very anxious -I can’t thank him enough and am now on my path to recovery.

Very up front with everything. Explained everything to us.

Always 5 Star!

Educating me on the source of my pain, and my options for relief.

Good visit, efficient. Staff also efficient. Patient Portal - unable to read patient summary on portal. frank Delaney

He was very complete with his examination and assessment. He was also encouraging as I deal with my condition.

Very clear in his analysis and didn't sugar-coat the potential outcomes.

Initial visit was satisfactory, doctor was pleasant and helpful.

Very frank and just laid out the situation. Appreciate that

Thorough, answered all questions and gave reference for bone strengthening

He has been nothing but wonderful!!!! I reruptured my disk a week after my initial surgery so we became pretty close!! Lol!

Very professional and informative

Great doctor!!!

Very thorough

He is so kind and caring I like him!

Thorough, efficient, direct

No education provided. Poor bedside manner. Rushed.

He is very honest & straightforward. He did surgery on me approximately 9years ago & it helped me greatly, but now I am too old to have it repeated. I thank him for what he has done for me!

Appreciated his directness and was very well focused to answer all of my questions. He was very clear and concise regarding not needing surgery. That made me feel very confident that physical therapy is the path needed to remedy my diagnosis. Will follow his guidance and I am very thankful that I was able to consult with him, it gave me a great sense of peace that I am headed in the right direction.

Direct He had read my chart history Offered options described when to return with regard to development of conditions/ symptoms

Was a very good listener and very honest.

i just had an MRI today but the MRI technician was very good!

Excellent!!! He never fails to know he’s all about you, your injury, your surgery, what you can and cannot do! Utmost Respect for Dr MacLennan!!!

Awesome! He is a miracle worker. Nice man!

I have been very happy with the work of Dr. MacLennan.

The staff was nice and efficient and I didn't have to wait long to get in. And the Dr was very helpful was nice and caring.

i was very happy with Dr MacLennon. I can't say enough good things about him and Steindler. Thank you so much

I felt the Doctor did not think my problem was serious and that I was wasting his time

Very thorough , friendly answers questions and shows concern.

Dr MacLennan explained everything with great clarity. He was warm and kind as well, and inspired confidence.

Appeared to be vary capable and knowledgeable. Would help if he could slow down a bit as appointment seemed “rushed”.

Dr. MacLennan performed my lumbar fusion eight months ago. I think he’s an excellent surgeon, and always has answered my questions and concerns without making me feel rushed. I’m thankful for his kindness. I would highly recommend Dr. MacLennan!

He seemed very “matter of fact” and I like that!!

Dr. MacLennan was a true professional and put my mind to ease about my back problems. He is to the point of the problems and answered all my questions. I was totally happy.

Very straightforward and concise. Do YOUR homework also and he will answer your questions .

He was extremely rude, likes to talk down to people. I didn't feel he cared the least bit about me as a patient. I switched doctors for my follow up appointment. He may be a good doctor in his field but I would never see him again or refer him to anyone.

Dr. MacLennan is the best in spine surgery and any follow up's. I recommend to everyone who is in back pain. Great bed side manner with patients.

Dr Mcclennan was curt and rude with me, stating, "Everyone has bulging discs. Everyone has arthritis. You just need to somehow deal with it. He offered no suggestions on how to do so. When iasked"Why am i having sharp passions in my back. Burning, tingling, and numbness in both legs and feet,? His reply was, i don't know". At which point he and his assistant left the room. I felt that my symptoms were belittled, that i was wasting the doctors time. I would NOT recommend anyone to him.

He couldn't really help me with the arthritis that I have in my low back, but he was kind and knowledgeable. I guess it's something that I'm just going to have to live with. Ugh.

thorough and professional. no nonsense demeanor. very straightforward with his diagnosis and possible remedies. listened to my concerns and questions

Kind, clear, gave helpful information. I suggest "stay on your feet" as advice rather than "don't fall", because I have heard that brains don't register "don't", they hear the verb only, so it was like giving a directive to fall. I appreciate his care today.

Knowledgeable and professional.

I left there with no answers of why I have chronic pain

Benjamin seem to take my pain seriously. I am self employed and need to get fixed I cant keep living like this. See how things go.

Dr. MacLennan could see my husband was in a great deal of pain. He and his staff were able to get a MRI done the same day. We were told since it was Friday we probably would not get the results until Monday or Tuesday, however he called us Saturday to tell us the results. That is A+ service!

If I had to I might give him a 2 1/2. He was not very personable at all.

Good doctor!

Fantastic!

I believe, he did a very good job, of doing everything he could for me. Thank you all, at Steindler Orthopedic clinic .

Knowledge able, direct, offered options. Good visit.

Absolutely the best bedside manner I have ever dealt with. That is very important to me.

Dr MacLennan is a wonderful doctor. I would always trust him and his care.

Nice man, seems down to earth and knows his stuff at least as it pertained to me.

Needs to get a bed side manor. Hurry in hurry out see as many as you can so billable are high. Very disappointed in my visit other doctors are great.

seems competent, friendly and professional

Short demeanor. Zero interest as to why I was there. Did not take the time to listen. Zero interest in history of back issue. I’m in constant pain with major flare ups. Told him that physical therapy only makes my back hurt worse then ordered more PT

Always listens. Very knowledgeable. I am not an easy patient but he is very patient with my challenges.

Open-minded approach to options for back pain, clear information to guide choice.

Dr. MacLennan is very receptive and matter of fact. He did my surgery in the past and very pleased to have him helping me now.

Dr. MacLennan provided excellent aid for emergency surgery while giving other options to surgery. Today’s 2 week follow up again was complete and all information I could wish. So grateful.

Great surgeon! Couldn't ask for any better experience.

Came across as arrogant and didnt really want to talk or explain things. Made it very clear he is a surgeon and sees things like this all the time. Never really asked or wanted to listen how I felt. His time was more important than the patient.

Very helpful

The visit was very informative

Love him... no nonsense.

Dr MacLennan is the best! He did an extensive back surgery on me eight years ago. Great results were accomplished.

The information we received was good, but he had a somewhat brusk manner. He did listen to what I had to say and provided good feedback.

He was very thorough and professional

Outstanding Provider. He creates a solid confidence in treatment plans.

He was very truthful with what would happen during surgery and after. I appreciated this and was very happy with my followup visits.

This doctor was brutally honest without showing compassion or offering hope. Should have saved the money and time.

First time seeing him. Very good, polite, personable. Highly recommend

Sincere, informative, polite, helpful, nice visit

Very professional, responsive & reassuringly direct.

Precise and to the point.

Dr. MacLennan came highly recommended and after meeting with him and having him explain what i need, I am confident that I am in great hands! He explained my choices and gave me details. Top notch care!

Thorough in explanations, direct, was receptive to questions.

Would highly recommend Dr McClennan. 5 years ago he gave my husband his life back. Now he golfs 5-6 x per week. I just had a much less invasive back procedure but I am doing great!!

Smart, kind and empathetic all accurately describe Dr. MacLennan. Every time I visit with Dr. MacLennan I feel LISTENED TO. When you are in pain, there is NOTHING more important than being listened to.

Sarcastic and acted to busy to even diagnose... acted like his time was more important than mine.
