One of the greatest orthopedic surgeons I have ever met

I will never forget that momentous night you, Dr. T, Dr. Cummings, her mother and myself went to the Apollo Theater for the Obama fundraiser. What a glorious night that was. Rest well Sir. Job well done. Charlene Bellamy

I will always remember Dr. McClelland as a true gentleman and practitioner. I knew him when he worked as the Director of Service for the Department of Orthopedics at Harlem Hospital Center.
