This doctor is absolutely awful. He is so arrogant and rude to his patients and treats them like they are nothing. I am so sad for my husband who came to him in good faith to receive help. I would never recommend him and I hope he stops practicing medicine because it seems like he hates it and hates his patients.

I have been a patient of Dr McLaren for several years and he has always been professional and kind. He has provided me with exceptional care and continues to take time to understand my needs. He always gives me clear explanations concerning any decisions made and listens to my concerns. He is extremely careful in his management of chronic pain.

As a bariatric patient that cannot take NSAIDS, I was referred to this doctor for chronic pain care by when my long-time doctor retired.

He also hasn’t followed ... read more

I saw Dr. McLaren recently for a previously misdiagnosed condition. I found Dr. McLaren to be very caring and patient with me, and also he also has a great sense of humor. His office staff is very nice also. Very thankful I was referred to him.

I visited Dr. McLaren this summer because of a condition that has robbed me of the enjoyment of my life. I have been in intense pain for so long, I had forgotten what it felt like to be 'normal.' Dr. McLaren was recommended by my primary doctor and I had to drive an hour to see him. It was so worth the drive. Dr. McLaren is a very caring person, who also has a good sense of humor and made me feel relaxed. His office staff is very warm and friendly and worked with me to scheduling appointments th

Dr. McLaren is an awesome doctor, plain and simple. He doesn't sugar coat things, but is thorough in his explanations and caring. He is one of the few doctors in Helena that I totally respect his opinions and protocols. I have recommended my friends and family, as well as some distant military friends to see Dr. McLaren. He has truly improved my quality of life, something I have pained through for the last 23 years. Thank you, Dr. McLaren!
