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.

AVOID THIS DOCTOR AT ALL COSTS, LEFT IN PAIN
I went to Dr. Clarke for a medical concern, expecting professional care and sound medical advice. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Dr. Clarke assured me that my condition was not a cause for concern. Trusting his expertise, I proceeded with the treatment he recommended. However, after continued pain and discomfort, I sought a second opinion—only to learn that my condition was actually serious and required specialized attention.Had I known this earlier, I could have pursued the proper treatment sooner. While I cannot speak for all patients, in my case, the misdiagnosis led to unnecessary suffering. I strongly encourage anyone seeing Dr. Clarke to seek a second opinion before proceeding with any treatment through the doctor. I hope this review helps others make informed decisions about their healthcare.

Expensive, Unnecessary Lab Test
I had a simple ear infection and Dr. Clarke had an extremely expensive ($964) lab test done which had absolutely no bearing on my treatment.

Dr Clarke is a VERY caring Dr. He’s Excellent about telling you the outcome of any tests & what the plan of action will be. He recognized my problems & allergy tested me (I’m allergic to everything!) but I did the allergy shots & I'm much better! HE’S VERY thorough & considerate & takes the time to answer any questions you might have! He & his staff have always treated me with dignity & respect! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

He is an awesome Dr. He has always been there for me and stuck with me through everything. He even helped me find a Dr to diagnose another problem that wasn't even in his field. He did it because he was concerned about all my weight loss. If more doctors were like him we could all get our trust in them back. Highly recommend him!
