Dr. McClung continues to travel the country attending seminars on the latest advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular disorders, and we are proud to say that Valleydale Hearing and Balance Center was chosen as affiliate office of The American Institute of Balance.

Hobbies

Outside of the office, the doctor likes spending time with his family and participating in just about any activity that gets him outdoors. A Pell City native, Dr. McClung grew up on the water and still enjoys fishing or a round of golf when time permits. 
Above all else, the doctor loves talking football. One step into our office will reveal that Dr. McClung is a HUGE Alabama football fan and collector of Daniel Moore paintings “Roll Tide”.
