      Meeting Dr. McClane for the first time was an excellent experience. He showed professionalism, kindness and understanding of all my needs. He is very compassionate and truly cares about the wellbeing of his patients and doesn't rush them out of the office. He took his time in explaining my concerns and I felt at ease with him. He is an asset to Cooper University. Thank you Dr. McClane

      Dr. Mcclane explained everything in detail and answered every question my family and I had regarding my upcoming surgery. I immediately felt comfortable with him and I feel confident with my decision to have my surgery performed by him. He was very empathetic and treated me like a person and considered my personal goals and quality of life. He truly treated the whole person, not just my disease process.

Explained why it was necessary to stay on top of my health and the next steps that were necessary. I knew I wasn't his only patient but he made me feel like I was. I feel that he's very professional but also very caring at the same time, spoke to me in terms I could understand when it came to the procedure I had and course moving forward.

      As a registered nurse the experience was amazing.Everyone works impressively works works together .I chose Dr.Steven Mcclean because I researched him for my sister who lives in New Jersey . He operated on my sister a few years back . She had an 6 lb,cancerous tumor in her Transverse colon . I was very impressed with the care she received.So when my son needed Colon surgery I chose him .We live over an hour away,but my confidence in Dr.MCClean I wouldn't choose anyone else.
