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.

Maybe a good choice if all the other doctors are dead. Had a work related emergency of an amputation, and that the "medical care" administered by him was more painful than my injury. He forgot to prescribe me any painkillers at all, even though he said I would need them. The days I was in the dressing was agony. When the metal splint was removed, the pain went away. It was too tight and scarred parts of my finger that were not part of the injury. There's a reason he is an ER doc, I guess

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Clinkscales?
I'm writing this review on behalf of my sister. She recently visited the Greer Memorial ED with a headache and a elevated blood pressure of 183/137. She had the unfortunate pleasure of having Dr. Clinkscales. He treated her like a child and was extremely condescending. He then proceeded to tell her that the headache was causing her elevated blood pressure AND she was not at risk for a stroke, which are both incorrect. I will not recommend this provider to anyone.
