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.

Dr.Leon Clarke is an amazing surgeon that put my mind at ease during my gallbladder procedure. He treated me as if he has known me forever, with respect, concern, care and his Bible passages kept me going and smiling!!! He made my first surgery (and hopefully last) a great experience! I would recommend him to everyone and anyone! He is an amazing man and I trust him whole heartedly!!

I had a surgery procedure with Dr. Clarke a few years ago. He was personable, professional and I could see why his team really connected with him. I left the experience feeling valued, respected and considered. Excellent doctor!

He is an exceptionally compassionate physician. He is concerned about patient's fears or apprehensions about pending surgery. He thoroughly explains the procedure, possible side effects and benefits of surgery. His skill and knowledge levels match his extraordinarily warm, comforting, engaging personality. It was a pleasure to be his patient!

i love Dr Clarke . He did my thyroid surgery, he was involved every step of the way. He answerd all my questions and concerns that i had about my surgery and medicine. He was very kind to my family and brought me through surgery with flying colors. And he payed me a visit after surgery to make sure i was ok. And he kept my family informed the whole time. I want to thank you so much Dr Clarke and i will see you on my next appointment. you deserve 10 stars.
