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.

Katelyn Clark Shines!
I met with Katelyn because my doctor is retiring. A diverticulum in my throat is causing choking episodes.I didn’t know what to expect before I met her. I just know there are some very serious issues I have, because of incompetency, that have led to permanent disabilities. While those who were at fault go their merry way, my active lifestyle has been denied me for the rest of my life. I wanted assurance that wouldn’t happen again. I needn’t have worried.After visiting with her for a very short time, I knew I was ready to go with her as my surgeon. She looks younger than her years, yet speaks with the knowledge of a seasoned professional. After looking at my X-rays, she determined I could have a less invasive procedure, done by a specialist, which would give me the same result.I was disappointed that it wouldn’t be her, yet appreciate that she had studied my chart and had me set up to get it done. I also appreciated her friendly, yet professional demeanor. Great experience!

Highly recommend Dr. Clark
Dr. Clark went above and beyond to coordinate with the surgeon who was performing my laparoscopic surgery for another issue. After I met with Dr. Clark, she asked my other surgeon to look for signs of a hernia while I was in surgery. Instead, a tumor was discovered. Dr. Clark joined my other surgeon in the OR and removed the tumor. Her exceptional care provided me with the opportunity to have a malignant tumor removed on the spot, preventing further distress and another surgery. Her follow up care included a very detailed explanation and diagram of the surgery she performed and the next steps for my care. I highly recommend Dr. Clark.

Urgent referral..office mgr..thought issue was esophagus instead of bowel...Clark has 2 reviews regarding esophagus surgeries..Clark said she has done hundreds of resections...no reviews.. felt like she was upselling me on surgery procedures. When I asked about other more experienced Surgeons.. she escorted me to the Receptionist to find a "second opinion " appointment....and she just walked off... I'm standing there..like...I guess my appointment with her is over! :(
