Patient Testimonial
I absolutely love and appreciate Dr. McClamrock. With his help and patience, my husband and I were able to get pregnant twice after years of trying.

Dr. McClamrock was very professional and knowledgeable. He took time to look at my history and answered any questions I had.

Dr. McClamrock did a great job of making use feel comfortable and making us feel like we were in control of our treatment and options.

I truly feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be a patient of Dr. McClamrock’s in one of life’s most stressful circumstances.

My negative experience of trying to get pregnant turned positive with Dr. McClamrock. I walked in every appointment with a smile and was greeted with one back.

Dr. McClamrock is an outstanding doctor and is very knowledgeable in his profession. We are now 20 weeks pregnant with out first baby girl!

Dr. McClamrock and the rest of the staff at the Baltimore office were able to make our dreams come true and never gave up on us.

Q&A

I was inspired by the science of reproductive endocrinology as well as my medical school adviser, the late Dr. Luther Talbert, and Dr. Eli Adashi.

The giants of the field, such as the late Dr. Howard W. Jones Jr. and the late Dr. Robert Edwards.

I enjoy being outdoors at the shore and I am a wine enthusiast.

To be a part of such a great world-class program.

More travel, although I have traveled extensively.

A patient who had very much to do in a very short period of time in order to conceive and accomplished it all.

To try to let them know that we are there with them.

Quiet but caring.
