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. Clark is excellent at healing injuries
If you are injured from sports, or slipping or some other movement-based injury do yourself a favor and call Dr. Clark. Do it sooner than later, as the sooner he can treat you, the fewer the number of treatments you will need, and the treatments are almost always successful. I have sent probably a dozen people to Dr. Clark and everyone recently injured (within 120 days) recovered quickly and completely. The man is a wizard. Before you let another doctor tell you that you need surgery, go see him. He really cares and I can tell you that you will get attention at his clinic that is truly rare in today's medical world. He has tremendous understanding and skill in his craft. He is an excellent value and an outstanding human being. I wish there were more like him, but there just aren't. Thanks for all your help Dr. Clark!

Compassionate and persistent
Dr. Clark is treating members of my family for chronic issues that have plagued us for years. He searches for underlying causes, not just treating symptoms. If you have tried other treatments for muscle pain, joint dysfunction, headaches, back pain, etc. and have not had success, we would recommend that you consult with Dr. Clark.

I suffer from excruciating thoracic pain, likely caused by subluxation of the ribs, as well and leg length discrepancy and hip pain. After seeing a pain management doctor for more than a year (receiving countless injections and repeated physical therapy) and not getting any relief, my pain management doctor referred me to Dr. Gary Clark for prolotherapy. Dr. Clark gave me a thorough exam and found that I had scoliosis in my spine and that my sacroiliac (SI) joints were out of place. He took a detailed medical history, and at each visit he explained what he was doing and why. He did repeated injections and adjustments on the SI joints — the latter of which corrected my leg length discrepancy. These treatments relieved a lot of pain. Dr. Clark also referred me to a physical therapist who works with scoliosis and joint displacement using visceral manipulation. (Dr. Clark's office also went out of the way to find me a practitioner who both offered this treatment and accepted my insurance

Helped me overcome chronic knee pain
I'm 37 and have been diagnosed with bone spurs and arthritis in both knees. My Orthopedist gave no recommendations other than to wait until I am old enough for a knee replacement, which wouldn't be until my 50's. My running career and was at a close, or so i'd been told. Dr Clark gave me a much more comprehensive diagnosis and explained, with patience and thoroughness - my physical disposition towards my injuries and why they had occurred in the first place (something my orthopedist had no explanation for). He then came up with a treatment plan. Following my prolotherapy injections, some adjustments he taught me to do on my own at home, coupled with PT and pilates, my knee pain has DRASTICALLY improved and I have been running 1-2 miles, which might not sound like much but is a miracle after my initial diagnosis. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Clark and how different his care has been in comparison to my initial diagnosis from my ortho.

Healing vs. Treatment of Chronic Body Aches
For years I'd had discomfort in my shoulder and neck which would often radiate up to my skull resulting in excruciating pain. I tried various physical therapies which offered only temporary relief. With Dr. Clark's approach, the source of the problem is addressed. The result is healing rather than treatment. I am painful after only 6 weeks. I highly recommend Dr. Clark to anyone suffering from chronic body discomfort.

A Refreshing Whole Body Approach
Dr. Clark is a breath of fresh air from the seemingly “focused” doctors today. I scheduled an appointment to discuss my knee issues and was expecting the usual focus on the knees. But Dr Clark was more interested in my “whole body” health surrounding my knees. It turns out I had a displaced hip which required some Prolotherapy treatment, and orthotics so that any knee treatment would not be a temporary solution. In addition, Dr Clark identified some scoliosis which has be greatly reduced with some simple exercises. After these structural items were remedied, I received a series of PRP treatments in both knees and am pleased with the results. I highly recommend him.

I discovered Dr. Clark and his expertise in Prolotherapy. My back would not stay in for more than ten minutes after an adjustment. Following Dr. Clark's instructions along with Prolotherapy changed my health to be the best it has been for so long. Problematic nightly tingling of my right arm has seen so much improvement with Prolotherapy. This tingling meant I would wake up from sleep and have to walk about the house for five minutes or more before I could get the tingling to stop. This no longer happens to me. Dr. Clark schedules significant time with me and I always receive a thorough consultation and treatment.

I was 39 and in a lot of pain and dysfunction from a chronically unstable SI joint and a mid thoracic sprain which exacerbated my scoliosis. I’m a multi sport athlete and carpenter by trade. After two years of manual therapy, PT(as often as 2x week), multiple MRIs, and a lot of money I reached out to an MD friend who referred me to Dr Clark. In one visit he knew exactly what was wrong, without even seeing an MRI! He looked me in the eye and said” I know what’s wrong, how to fix it, and I can change your life” Sure enough, a couple years later after several rounds of Prolotherapy treatments my sacrum finally stabilized and I’m mostly pain free and stronger and doing just as much activity 10 years later. I owe my renewed orthopedic health and overall well being to this man. Forever grateful.

Two years ago, I was having so much discomfort and instability in my knees that I expected that my hiking and skiing adventures would soon end. Now, after working with Dr. Clark on a monthly basis for the past year and half, I have the stability and balance to pursue my passions. Fifty years ago, I suffered injuries to my right knee and hip which I had ignored. With Dr. Clark’s help, I came to understand how these old injuries had come back to impact my senior limbs. My symptoms were obvious, but the problems were not. Firstly, my SI joint needed to be stabilized and then the ligaments and tendons in my knees required support. This was accomplished with prolotherapy. Once I regain strength in my joints, PRP was used to help rebuild cartilage in my knees. I am back to hiking above tree line in the Rocky Mountains and linking turns on the Colorado ski slopes. You could almost say that Dr. Clark is a “miracle worker”. I cannot thank him enough for his professional attention.

Last year my daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis. She had a 17 degree curvature of the spine and we were very concerned. After 5 months of treatment with Dr. Clark, I am thrilled to say my daughter's spine has improved and only showing a 6 degree curvature. We are hopeful she will continue to improve. Thank you Dr. Clark for all your help and excellent care!

Dr. Clark helped stabilize my SI joint with a few rounds of prolotherapy. Each appointment with him lasted an hour, and he did a comprehensive intake to get at the root of the problem. I appreciated his attention to detail, and I'm now able to train with a better foundation. I've recommended him to my sister, who deals with similar laxity issues.

My initial consultation with Dr. Clark was a bit intimidating. I could tell he was knowledgable and experienced, but he wasn't exactly warm & fuzzy. But once I committed to the work we were discussing - based on that expertise I knew was there - he was totally caring, involved, and committed to my well-being and to the efficacy of the treatment. I could not have asked for more. He is a master at his work, and this is the first treatment I've had for my issues that has actually worked.
