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.

Most genuine and down to Earth doctor I’ve ever had. I’m a baseball player who’s dealt with shoulder problems for the past two years and Dr. Clouse has been an amazing help by getting me back to playing college ball. Great surgeon!

Sorry to say my experience was not that great, almost bled to death, of which my daughter had to bring to their attention, had to have a second surgery to try and fix the problem, which was a cut someplace that apparently didn't stop bleeding, i was transported to a nearby Hospital, where i was given 2 litters of blood, I came out with nerve damage and a drop foot, needless to say it was an ordeal that has changed my life forever. I really wish i had done more investigating to find a more Qualified Doctor.

Delegates almost all post-op care to PAs even when there are major complications. Becomes extremely belligerent and even yells at patients for asking questions or criticizing care. May be a competent surgeon but has a very poor bedside manner and doesn't seem to care about his patients or their families and seems to put profit before patient welfare.

Dr. Clouse really cares about his patients. He is very thorough, will give you all your options and help guide you to a decision best for you. He has an amazing bedside manner, which most doctors lack. Put that with being a great surgeon, and he is the ultimate doctor. Would never want to go anywhere else again!

Dr Clouse is the best! I had total hip replacement the 8th of May 2017. From my perspective, this man and his team are the very best when it comes to joint surgery of any kind. Dr. Clouse has an excellent personality, and great bedside manor you can't find a better Doctor. David Leach Gold Canyon, AZ

Dr. Douglas Clouse repaired my torn rotator cuff in November 2016. It is now 5 months later and I am so pleased with the results. i am still taking physical therapy 2 days a week, of which I benefit from greatly. Dr Clouse and his therapists, as well as his office staff, are super! Thank you so much for a very successful surgery and such pleasant office visits.

In addition to being a really skilled surgeon, Dr. Clouse was very encouraging to me during and after my treatment. Because of his moral support, I was willing, even eager, to work hard to get well. He took away all my fears of getting a new knee.

I saw him for 3 minutes. Instead of talking of knee surgery he gave three weekly shots that cost a fortune. A nurse did it. I am still getting added bills after one year. The most greedy bunch I have ever seen. Bills $30 for a sterile tray to carry needles into room with. How can it be sterile carried by a woman with her bare hands down a hallway????Over a year later, I am still getting small bills for servivces.. Finally went to another Dr and got a second opinion and both said surger
