I initially came to Dr. McClendon expressing my weight loss concerns and she told me to no fret, & that she would be able to help me to goal weight. I’ve lost 48lbs with the help of Dr. McClendon. She is extremely helpful and knowledgeable and I would have never been able to lose this much weight without her help.

I went through PCOS, miscarriages, and failed IVF and all the doctors could say is that it was because of my weight... because I was "morbidly obese" as its called.  Of course, I felt like a failure and a friend who had success with Dr McClendon recommended that I see her.

I did about a year ago, and she helped me lose 71 lbs. I'm proud to say that I'm now pregnant with our first child! This experience has truly been life changing and I already told her that once I deliver , I'm coming back to see her to lose the baby weight!

For the first time in my adult life I weigh less than I did as a teenager! I didn't think this was even possible. Thank you Dr McClendon.

I don't usually post reviews (unless I've had a terrible experience) but I feel like I really need to take the time to let Dr McClendon and others know how truly grateful I am to not only have loss weight and to finally be at a point that I have been able to keep it off. My food noise is gone and I can manage my hunger which is something I had never been able to do in the past. Dr McClendon truly treats you like she cares about you as a whole. I'm now down 112 lbs and have kept the majority off thanks to her. I'm so happy that I'm able to continue follow up appointments with her indefinitely since I'd been battling with my weight all my life.

Dr McClendon was awesome and the weight loss program is so easy to follow since its telemedicine. I like the fact that I see her monthly whcih helps with accountability. She is such an awesome doctor. Very approachable and compassionate and knowledgable. I've been seeing her for 1 year now and we've had steady weight loss which I appreciate since I've been dealing with yo-yo diets and weight loss pretty much all my life. I lose weight then regain it fast. Instead, I've had continued weight loss and I'm now in "weight maintenance" as its called. So far been able to keep it off for the past 6 months.

I came to Bari-Med and Dr McClendon from a referral from my Cardiologist.  He had said that if I didn't lose the weight I could be a heartattack away from death. That shocked me enough to look into his recommendation of her. I called the office, made a consultation with her and got started on the program. I'm now down  41 lbs and went back to my cardiologist for a follow up and boy was he happy. My cholesterol numbers are down! He said to keep it up.

I'm so excited that I am now at my college weight! After unsuccessful diets and afer weight loss surgery, I regained all of my weight back. I was in a bad space after Covid. A friend who had been seeing Dr McClendon for weight loss recommended that I see her too and I'm so glad that I did!  I'm now at a lower weight than I was even after bariatric surgery! I feel so good in my body now! I cant thank her enough!

Dr McClendon was great as all the other reviews have said but working in med admin myself, I have to give her admin staff cudos, especially Marigold. Being in admin I know that insurances are tricky and you have to call them yourselves to find out exactly if Drs are covered in your plan which I did and Dr McClendon is. Marigold was so helpful in letting me know that what they discovered is that certain HMO or EPO plans are the ones that Dr McClendon is not a part of. Once that was clarified, we were all set. Thank you Marigold!

I have been struggling with my weight since I hit 50, but when I tipped the scale at 220, I knew I needed help. Not only was my weight out of control, but I also had high blood pressure, my knees hurt, and I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded. My PCP recommended Dr. McClendon and after one conversation with her, I knew that she could help me.

She did one thing that other doctors in her field didn't do - she simply listened. When I told her that something wasn't working or the side effects of something wasn't agreeing with me, we tried something else. She customized a fitness, medication, and diet plan suitable just for me, not some one size fits all routine that I was expected to follow.
I'm sad to say that I'll no longer be seeing her smiling face every six weeks, but that's only because I'm happy to say that thanks to Dr. McClendon I now weigh 140 pounds, my blood pressure is normal, and I'm in great shape! I've worked hard to get here, and Dr. McClendon has held me accountable every step of the way.

Thank you so much for your help!

Im so happy! I was 50 lbs overweight and with the help of Dr McClendon, I'm now in the best shape in my adult life at 144 lbs! Before, I was so ashamed of my body, often would hide, not wanting to take pictures. Now, I feel so great, I wanna show it off and Dr McClendon is so encouraging!!!!  I've worked hard and I'm so glad she's helped me not only become healthier but I now have such a better outlook on my life and body!!!
