Unfortunately the elevator was inoperative and I had to struggle up the staircase. I was called about the situation beforehand, and given the opportunity to re-schedule.

Dr McLean, was kind listened, gave me options and is a genuinely great doctor in all areas.
And his injections of my knees were virtually painless.
I definitely recommend Dr. McLean to family and friends and anyone else who would want to listen??
January 6, 2026Rose C.Verified patient
The doctor was fine but the entire staff was glum. Check in person was all business. Person that brought me to the exam room never said hello or made eye contact. Spent the whole time facing the computer with her back to me. Xray tech was strictly business as well; No greeting. The mood of the staff makes a big impression on whether I decide to return because it is a reflection of how they feel about where they work and the job they do.

Positive experience with Dr. McLean and MBO office. Quick, super efficient with no waiting time. From reception to radiologist to nurse, friendly, thorough and efficient. Dr. McLean didn't seemed rushed and took care to explain diagnosis and provide options for treatment. I would recommend this practice.

Dr McLean had a reasonable wait time, performed a thorough review of my history, and was able to help resolve my knee pain. For me it was with surgery, and I was able to get it scheduled very quickly.

I like the doctor, but the receptionist was rude in my opinion, I filled out a form on a tablet, when I got to the exam room I was asked the very same questions by the nurse. Receptionist refused to take my insurance cards or even verify the information saying I'll send you a link. Next day I tried to conform to the demands of the site. When I got to the section that asked me to upload front and back pictures of my insurance cards. The system did not accept my pictures.

Dr McLean was very attentive, interested and listened to the issues I was experiencing. I didn’t feel rushed or dismissed as have with other doctors in the past that were not associated with Mercer Bucks Orthopedics. He was very genuine, seemed to really care and explained clearly his diagnosis and treatment. I highly recommend Dr. McLean and Mercer Bucks Orthopedics.
