Damon McClain, MD, FAAD

Feeling and looking every bit of my 69 years, I called Dr. McClain's office yesterday morning to make an appointment. I wanted and needed him to attempt to repair some damage to my face as a result of being a member of The Baby Oil Club back in my teens and early 20s. Who knew or really cared about the harmful effects of UV rays and the need for sunscreen back in the 1970s? I certainly didn't and have unfortunately paid the price. It was either an appointment with Dr. McClain or a visit to Home Depot to rent a sandblaster. My stars aligned when I called the office and spoke with Renee, who generously offered me an appointment later in the day due to a cancellation. I danced out the door with anticipation! I first met with Sandy, who was very comforting and reassuring. I had seen Dr. McClain on several occasions previously, the last time being a year ago, and my appointment yesterday only confirmed why I cannot say enough good things about him! He is compassionate, caring and thorough. He is not judgmental or condescending. He takes his time, explains everything and has a great sense of humor. He even asked me about a trip my husband and I took last year. Now, I realize that was not from memory. He had obviously taken the time to jot that down in his office notes a year prior, but it is the little things like that which make Dr. McClain so special! Leaving the office, I felt better about myself with the assurance that with Dr. McClain’s expertise and wisdom, there is still hope for a 69-year old woman. It will take a few weeks for the final results, but I am very confident. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Dr. McClain. He and his staff are the best!

Dr. Susannah and Alyssa assisted me for my first appointment and they were wonderful! I dread needles and they were very gentle and reassuraning. For my surgery two weeks later, Dr. Damon and Sandy took care of me. They were absolutely wonderful! They remained light-hearted even as I struggled with nerves. I highly recommend Three Rivers Dermotology!

Dr. McClain was extremely informative, and wasted no time getting right to the point of the visit. His bedside manner was wonderful. I didn't feel condescended to, nor did I feel hesitant about having any questions. I would definitely recommend this practice.

I went to a dermatologist for the fist time yesterday. I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive. I was pretty sure I was going to be repremanded for not wearing sunscreen everyday and for other scenarios I crafted inside my crazy head. But, I could not have had a better experience! The doctor was thorough, friendly, and really put me at ease. He did not give me a hard time about that terrible sunburn in 2014 that took two months to heal. I was out of the office in under 45 minutes! To top it off, they don't need to weigh you at the dermatologist's office. I didn't see a scale anywhere! Hot dog! If you are apprehensive about going to a dermatologist, I highly recommend Dr. Damon McClain of Three Rivers Dermatology in Moon Township.

I have known Dr. Damon McClain and Dr. Susannah McClain for more than 10 years and both are wonderful, intelligent, caring dermatologists. They provide amazing care and always go above and beyond for their patients. Highly recommended!
