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 tell you, Dr.Clark seemed very nice , he said surgery the 29th..I set with the scheduler for 1 hour while she's talking to Ins co.. only to be told they do Not take my insurance..And that was to have been confirmed before my appointment.said they will try to get surgery approved , could take 45 days ...I asked was my visit not covered, said they didn't know would file it ..You would think someone would do their job and know this stuff before you visit the doctor.i would not have wasted my time and only caused more pain with the traveling and sitting 3 hours...Someone can do better!!!

Outstanding first impression!
Dr. Clark came highly recommended by our trusted family doctor so we were not surprised to get acquainted with an experienced, caring , attentive and personable doc. He explained very clearly my carpal tunnel issue and the options for relief. I look forward to having him perform the procedure we discussed.

Horrible experience!
Waited almost 2 hours. Dr came in apparently he was in a hurry to move on to the next patient. When asked questions about my injury, he seemed to be annoyed as his answers were very short and with a rude tone e of voice. Every time he answered prosead to walk out of the door before I was satisfied either his explanation. Very disappointed!
