Dr. McClelland earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from Saint Louis University School of Medicine. He completed his ophthalmology residency at Washington University School of Medicine, followed by a fellowship in neuro-ophthalmology and adult strabismus surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. His training bridges ophthalmology and neurology—an essential perspective when diagnosing conditions affecting the optic nerve, eye movements, and visual pathways.
At Northwest Eye Clinic, Dr. McClelland evaluates and treats a wide range of neuro-ophthalmic disorders, including double vision (diplopia), strabismus (eye misalignment), optic nerve disorders, giant cell arteritis, idiopathic intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri), and vision loss of unclear cause. He focuses on careful diagnostic evaluation, patient education, and evidence-based management, including surgical care when appropriate for adult strabismus.
Dr. McClelland is board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and is a Fellow of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (NANOS). He has spent 14 years in academic medicine, serving on faculty at Washington University in Saint Louis (2012–2015) and the University of Minnesota (2015–2026), where he earned multiple teaching and service awards. He remains active in academic medicine as an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota, continuing to teach resident physicians and medical students.
In addition to clinical care, Dr. McClelland contributes to the field through research, education, and professional leadership. He serves as a journal reviewer, participates on committees for the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and NANOS, teaches courses at the annual AAO meeting, and serves on the editorial board for the Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology and EyeNet magazine. Dr. McClelland is dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive care while advancing neuro-ophthalmology through ongoing scholarship and education.
