1/15/13 5 4 5 5 Dr McLemore is by far the best doctor and surgeon i have come across. She is thorough and patient in her dealings with me. She explains everything in detail and makes sure that i had every detail i needed prior to my surgery. The only negative is that the wait time is a little long, but she is well worth the wait!

12/16/11 3 5 2 1 I was treated by Dr. McLemore for anal hpv. She inflicted more pain on me than I thought was possible. She gave me unrealistic estimates of healing time. (The surgery took me over 2 months to heal from.) I personally found McLemore to be emotionally cold, overly defensive, and sometimes impatient. My non-expert assessment of my surgical case is that she cut me up more than she should have but that she did this because she wanted to be thorough. If I had it to do over again I would find a different surgeon or try to put more limits on what I let McLemore do to me. On the other hand she was very thorough, she did not scar me up too bad, she was available when I needed her, and my physical health was never in danger.

11/23/11 5 3 5 5 Dr M is a wonderful, kind and caring surgeon. She cares about the whole patient and not just the disease they walk in the door with. I owe her my life.

9/25/10 4 3 5 5 Dr. McLemore is the best. She is not only very technically capable and knowledgeable. She also cares about the patient as a human being. For anyone who has dealt with surgeons, you know those two characteristics are usually mutually exclusive. With Dr. M you get probably one of the best surgeons and someone who truly cares.
