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.

Maternity visits
This doctor is very experienced and amazing! I work for ascension and see many doctors and how they are with patients, Dr. Clarke actually sits down with his patients and asks you if you have any questions several times. I saw him towards the end of my pregnancy because my regular doctor was out of town for week. Dr. Clarke stood out out of all the other three doctors I saw at that practice. He was the only one that actually sat down, listened to me, explained things in detail. Visits with him don’t feel rushed and I’m in and out of the room in 3 minutes, he is a very experienced doctor and gives your reassurance to every concern you worry you may have throughout your pregnancy. Hands down exceptional bed side manner and overall care!

I have been going to Dr Clark for 40 years… He always asks about my five children in any updates on their life since my last visit… He has it they’re all exam and get back with you immediately with results… He is more like a friend than just my doctor. I would highly recommend him. He has an amazing staff working for him as well.

I've been a patient for 19 years. He has always been professional and very kind. He takes a lot of time to talk about how things are going with me and my children. I have NEVER felt uncomfortable with him. He is a very intelligent man and I have always felt he was very devoted to my well-being. He is a little bit quirky, which I can see has turned some people off, but overall he has always been a good and reliable doctor.

my daughter which has NEVER seen a gynecologist before was having a issue with her period not stopping for 13 days straight, heavy flow. So we had to go to Dr. Clark , what a nightmare. My daughter was very nervous and one of the questions she did not understand and gave the wrong answer so I told Dr the right answer that she misunderstood and he put his hand up and "hushed" me. I replied "she didnt understand"... he said "mam can you be quiet" I almost lost it. I said nothing and did everything to not respond rudely. Then he wanted to do exam on her and asked me to leave room. For 1 he could have said, "if you would like your mother to stay(which she did) or if not she can wait in waiting room. When he left I asked if she wanted me to stay and she said no she was fine. I told her a nurse would be in here with her and wouldnt be alone with him. After he was done hr came to waiting room and said

Dr. Clarke is appears disheveled and has very poor personal hygiene. He is extremely unprofessional and has terrible bedside manner. He does NOT explain what he is doing during his exams. This is very unprofessional and upsetting given the nature of his practice. I would never ever refer anyone to his practice! His front office staff is also very rude.
