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.

I cannot attest to Dr. Clark's surgical skills but he and his office staff have very deceptive business practices. This is why I did not move forward with any treatment with him. He charged me a reasonable amount for a 10 minute consult the first time I saw him. He told me to return in a year. When I did, his office charges me three times the amount I paid a year before. When I called the office staff to inquire about this, the office manager Melissa was extremely combative and disrespectful. She lied multiple times during the conversation, at one point claiming that she told me how much I would be charged before my second visit, which was false. It goes without saying I never returned.

Staff is dosmissive & thwarting patient care
Rhere are deep concern about the unprofessional & dismissive behavior of the office staff. Their actions have negatively impacted my experience as a patient & created an unpleasant environment.I have witnessed & experienced rude & disrespectful interactions with the staff, including a sarcastic response to a patient's billing question. Their lack of empathy & unwillingness to address patient concerns are unacceptable.Furthermore, I encountered misinformation & disregard for my urgent need when inquiring about medication preauthorization.My insurance company was left on hold for an unacceptable amount of time when trying to discuss preauthorization. This lack of responsiveness demonstrates a lack of regard for both patients & insurance providers.As a patient suffering from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), I am deeply disappointed that the staff's actions have delayed my access to medication, exacerbating my pain & causing unnecessary stress.I do appreciate Dr. Clark, not staff

I can’t say enough about Dr Clark and his staff and the greatwork he did with my implants and bone augmentations. Dr Clark was kind, knowledgeable, professional and understanding as he walked me through the process and calmed my dental surgery anxiety. Afterwards I felt great! No pain, minimal discomfort and it all healed nicely. Dr Clark is a wonderful surgeon and has an excellent staff.

Dr. Clark & his staff are beyond amazing! I had a wisdom tooth that had been really bothering me, and I had gotten quotes from dentists/oral surgeons in the area for $1000+! But Dr. Clark was able to schedule a consultation next day and provided me an incredibly reasonable rate on the operation. He was beyond professional and personable, taking the time to thoroughly explain the procedure. The operation itself lasted only 30 minutes total! I was uniquely impressed by his kind staff who were incredibly friendly and patient. Dr. Clark is incredibly talented and I left with no pain, minimal bleeding, and it didn’t even swell up the next day. I couldn’t recommend this place more, if I could give it more than 5 stars I would! I’ve been to countless dentists & had 3 oral surgeries now and nothing can beat this pain free, easy experience. Thank you to Dr. Clark & his amazing staff!

Outstanding care, from staff to doctor. I had a traumatic experience with my previous dentist and came to Dr. Clark with emotional baggage. He has proved to be not only highly skilled, but also comforting and patient with my anxiety. His staff attended to every one of my needs and exceeded my expectations on every level. I had two molars excised followed by bone grafting with no pain! Just had the implant placed a few days ago, once again, no pain! Thank you Dr Clark and his staff!

Dr. Clark was reccomended to me by our orthodontist. He has removed both my teens wisdom teeth and also done teeth extractions for my daughter. He is an excellent doctor with such a nice personal disposition. He really cares about his paitients. He was available personally day and night after both my kids oral surgeries. His care and concern before during and after surgery made me feel extremely comfortable. His staff are professional and nice. Dr. Clark treated us like family. I trust him!!!

My dentist recommended Dr Clark to me and boy did I get lucky and hit the jack pot in getting the best oral surgeon! Dr Clark is amaziningly kind, gentle handed, caring and extremely thorough. My primary care doctor was not as thorough as Dr Clark. This immediately told me that he not only was good at being an oral surgeon...he loves being an oral surgeon. Don't second guess yourself he is the best one you will find anywhere in any state no doubt in my mind at all! I know you will love him too!

Dr. Clark was the perfect surgeon for my son getting his wisdom teeth out. He was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. His entire staff did everything to make us feel at ease with this process and were very thorough in what we could expect. Dr. Clark and his staff always encouraged us to ask any questions. What sets Dr. Clark apart from the rest is his personal touch in tending to his patients. He, personally called my son to make sure he was doing well and recovering after surgery!

After consultations with two Dental Surgeons, I was not comfortable with either of two suggested procedures. I searched the internet for alternatives and found Dr. Clark's website. I was surprised to get a "live" voice since it was after normal business hours. I spoke with Melissa whom I found to be very helpful and in no hurry to end the call. She offered suggestions and information that I was not aware of. My consultation with Dr. Clark was more informative than previous other Dental Surgeons

From the consultation to the surgery itself, I had an exceedingly positive experience. Dr. Clark and his staff take the time to educate you and make sure you understand all aspects of what is involved in the procedure, and leave you with plenty of time to ask any questions. I chose them for the my wisdom teeth removal because I felt fully confident in their ability, and their kindness and easygoing attitude put me right at ease. I'm on day 5 of healing, and doing very well. Thanks!

What a great practice. From the time I called to set up the appt. to have my wisdom tooth pulled until after this procedure was done, I can only say BRAVO to Dr. Clark and every member of his staff! They are kind, caring and gave me information I needed every step of the way. Having Parkinsons disease is no easy matter to deal with in a dentist's office. With my tremors very visible during my visit, Dr. Clark's office made it so much easier to sit through a tooth extraction.

Excellent, compassionate care. I met Dr. Clark and his staff midway through a dental implant procedure. I left my previous oral surgeon due to a lack of caring by the office staff. I can honestly say Dr. Clark and his staff provided excellent service throughout all aspects of a dental implant, including the follow-up care and recovery.

Dr. Adam Clark, along with Melissa Peters and the entire staff at South OC Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery truly are the best. Their care for both my daughter and son during surgery was amazing. The procedures were thoroughly explained to me leaving no questions unanswered. All aspects of the surgery were discussed including pre, day of, and post operation steps to ensure top care for my children. The staff is professional, knowledgeable and also caring. I highly recommend Dr. Clark.
