Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great doctor, wonderful experience!
After being diagnosed with gallstones, I postponed my gallbladder surgery for 8 years. I never really had symptoms if I behaved but was concerned that my gallbladder rendered solid white on my X-rays. I decided to explore surgery and had a consultation with Dr. Clark. He explained things in a way I clearly understood and did not pressure me at all. He made me feel comfortable about losing an organ.I decided to go through with the surgery. My only regret is that Dr. Clark is not a primary care doctor. I would choose him in a heartbeat! Good doctors are very hard to find. Rest assured if you are in his care, you will be in very good hands. Overall a great experience, a great staff and great doctor. I highly recommend!

I recently had emergency surgery by Dr. Clark. It was a difficult surgery and all went well. I would definitely return to him if needed in the future.

Dr. Clark greatly improved my quality of life. I had a hiatal hernia repaired by him robotically. Not only was the procedure quick and mostly painless, my healing time was very short! His staff was overwhelmingly helpful and warm. Cindy, Clarice, and Portia are the best! Dr. Clark is very lucky to have such wonderful people working for him. Most of the time the staff makes or breaks and office. Thank you again!
