Great Dr.

An outstanding and thoughtful urologist who deservedly enjoys the trust and respect of other physicians in the Austin area. My wife and I appreciated his sorting out her diagnosis of kidney stones and, as a physician myself, I left grateful and impressed.

I was referred to Dr. McClelland by my primary care physician because I noticed blood in my urine. My first appointment with Dr. McClelland was on November 7. He explained that the most likely cause of the blood was kidney stones, or that there was no cause at all. He then scheduled me for a CAT scan to see if I indeed had kidney stones. My CAT scan was administered on November 9th in Dr. McClellands office. The CAT scan was administered with and without IV contrast. At my follow-up appointment with Dr. McClelland on November 16th, Dr. McClelland told me that my CAT scan looked normal. He did not see any signs of kidney stones. Since kidney stones were ruled out, he said he wanted to perform a Cystoscopy to rule out more serious causes of the blood in my urine. On December 1st, I went back to Dr. McClellands office for the Cystoscopy. It was a quick, but VERY unpleasant procedure. I was extremely uncomfortable every time I urinated for 2 days after the procedure, and had a 24-hour case of diarrhea due to the antibiotic I had to take. After the procedure, Dr. McClelland said that everything looked normal. He suggested that I go back to my primary care physician because he did not know what caused me to have blood in my urine. As I was about to leave the examination room, a nurse said that Dr. McClelland now wanted to get a X-Ray, also to be conducted in his office. An X-Ray tech took one X-Ray of my kidney/groin area. A few minutes later, she said it was too dark and needed to take it again. A few minutes after the second X-Ray, she again said it was too dark and blamed it on my being thin. After the 4th X-ray, I got up from the table and told her that the 4th one better be light enough because I did not want to be subjected to any more radiation. The nurse then escorted me into Dr. McClellands office. A few minutes later, Dr. McClelland came into the office and explained that the CAT Scan tech told him inaccurate information, and that the CAT Scan did indeed show several small (ranging in size from 1mm to 3.5mm) kidney stones. He walked me over to the CAT Scan machine and showed me. I then asked him if that meant I didnt need the Cystoscopy, and he said No, you didnt. I wont charge you for it The X-Ray tech then walked in and I asked her how the 4th X-Ray looked, and she said that it turned out OK. Dr. McClelland then put the X-Ray in his light box and said that the kidney stones did not show up on the X-Ray. He explained that probably meant that they were not made of calcium and that Lithotripsy is not an option because you need to see them on a normal X-Ray for that procedure. He then said he wanted to schedule me for ureteroscopic stone removal surgery, and would I like to schedule that for before or after Christmas. I told him I would get back to him. I immediately made an appointment with another Urologist for a second opinion, which was on December 5th with Dr. Phillips. I picked up all of my files, including the 4th X-Ray, CAT Scan films, and the Radiologists report to bring with me to Dr. Phillips office. Before I met with the Dr. Phillips, he had me get another X-Ray. Only one was needed this time. Dr. Phillips put his X-Ray and the one from Dr. McClelland office side-by-side. Dr. Phillips was able to pick out my kidney stones on his X-Ray, but agreed that the X-Ray from McClellands office did not show any. As it turns out, the 4th X-Ray was too dark as well. Dr. Phillips advice was not to have surgery unless Im in a profession that cant afford to have the pain of a kidney stone suddenly appear (like a pilot), which I am not. He also wants me to collect urine for a 24-hour period to determine why Im creating so many kidney stones at a relatively young age. At my follow-up appointment, we will also discuss Lithotripsy as an option.
