Patient Reviews
I love Dr Clark. He explains everything to you and is very thorough.
I'm very pleased with the diagnosed in the attention. Thank you very much.
He was amazing! He listened to me and addressed my issues and even looked into further issues. Had been in pain for 3 months and he fixed it in 1 day. So very greatful to have my arm back!
Dr. Clark was very friendly and knowledgeable. My wait time was very minimal and the treatment (injection in my shoulder) was very tolerable. Highly recommend him
Dr. Clark wad a breath of fresh air after searching for an orthopedic surgeon. Although I didn't need any surgery at this time, I am happy to have found one in Dr. Clark. He was on time on a very snowy day. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took time to learn about me and my needs. I felt welcomed and respected by him, his assistant, and there staff in the office. I will recommend Dr Clark to anybody in need of orthopedic services, and will return for my needs on the future. Thank you!
I felt leaving our visit yesterday that we are finally headed in the right direction.
Dr Clark has taken the time to explain what this healing process will be. I never feel rushed. Other than the injury, this has been a very professional, clear process
I like Dr. Clark very much. He listened to me and informed me of the alternatives for my ailment. I received cortisone shots in the problem areas. It was fast and painless, and I was done in about 15 minutes. Thank you, Dr. Clark. I will definitely recommend you to anyone that needs this type of treatment.
Dr Clarke is awesome. Explains the details real well for us non medical types. Is always quick and courteous.
Dr. Clark is a very caring physician who has gone above and beyond to make sure I get the level of care I needed. I can not say enough nice things about the entire staff. I would highly recommend them to everyone.
I always have a good experience at ORA. The staff is always always thorough, helpful, and friendly.
Went to see Dr. Clark for a second opinion for a sports injury my son received wrestling. He spent the time to examine my son and order follow up tests. Results showed it wasn’t a hernia like first told and set my son up for some physical therapy and released him to wrestle again. Should have gone straight to see Dr. Clark, would have saved a lot of time and got into physical therapy a lot sooner.
Wonderful orthopedic surgeon. Listens and is compassionate.
My son Blake loves his doctor at ora. Dr Clark is awesome and he listens to your concerns and tells you exactly what is wrong and good on and Dr. Clark is very helpful and caring. Thank you so much for taking care of my son.
Prompt. Maybe slightly before my appointment time. Entire staff friendly and on top of everything. Dr. Clark was super. Prepared, professional, and thorough. Sincerely acted in my best interest. Looking forward to future care.
Drive Clark and his staff very professional and appointment on time
Dr Clark and his nurse Heather have been amazing and caring. I feel heard, and truly cared for during my journey before, during, and after my shoulder surgery.
Dr. Clark spent time with us efficiently, but did not rush. He addressed the problems, answered our questions, and gave us options for continued care.
Dr Clark has been doing my knee injections the last year. He gets them in the right spot so I’m walking better. Would highly recommend him.
He was very friendly, and explained things to me in a way I could understand. I would highly recommend.
Everything has been good. Everyone has been very professional treating me. No complaints.
Very happy with the level of care my daughter received at ORA. Dr. Clark was very informative and didn’t make any unnecessary suggestions regarding physical therapy or other treatment. Always been very satisfied with any time I’ve had to go to ORA. Great doctors, good staff, organized and thorough, and they don’t make you wait forever to be seen.
I came in to follow up and ask a few questions about a knee surgery Dr Clark performed on my right knee July 2022. I was concerned about scar tissue and maybe developing arthritis. He examined both knees. I began telling him that the pain is deep and that I decided to live with it because no one will help me. He stopped me and said No. I am running my own labs on you. And finally I seen results! Over 26 years and he found out in 10 minutes that I am positive for an autoimmune disease. Can you believe my knee Dr?! Above and beyond? No. He just listened! Beyond grateful!
Fantastic!
Dr. Clark listened to my concerns and offered a treatment without going to extremes. I can highly recommend him.
I'm sleeping better already . I'm glad I didn't see the length of that needle before I got the shot. But it seems to have worked fine. Thanks for everything.
I love Dr. Clark. He takes the time to talk to you and go over information. He is very kind and patient.
Bedside manners was wonderful. Explained things very well . Not just in talking but showing me the MRI and explaining so I completing understood
An amazing Doctor! He really cares about you're health. Great with his people and his patience. I'm definitely keeping this one.
This was my first time with Dr. Clark. He is knowledgeable and very thorough with his explanations. He is also easy to talk to and easy to understand. What a pleasure! I knew this was the place to be. Dr. Clark replaced both of my husband’s knees last year. The surgery was seamless. He now has two beautiful knees that work perfectly. Thank you, Dr, Clark for your time, patience and expertise! We love you🩵

I got right in for my appointment. They took xrays then meet with Dr. Clark. He showed me the xrays. I have some arthritis in my knee which has damaged the meniscus tendon. He explained all my options and treatments. If my condition worsens I be back to him for replacement surgery.

Having previous rotator cuff surgery and then my arm quit functioning I was referred to Dr. Clark at ORA for evaluation. He said the only option I had was a reverse shoulder replacement. He performed the surgery with great success. I’m now 6 months post surgery and have a range of motion surpassing his expectations. He is a very kind person who cares about his patients and their recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Clark for anyone needing an orthopedic doctor. Thank you Dr. Clark!
I was very pleased with my appointment with Dr. Clark. He understood my condition and is the first doctor in several years who is attempting to find the cause of my pain in my right leg. Looking forward to subsequent appointments. Dell Wagner
Dr. Clark at ORA stepped in to review my progress after multiple foot surgeries performed by a specialist who is no longer available! What a delight he was! He x-rayed and reviewed my mobility and explained any and all my questions! I truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism. Thank you kindly! Theresa

Great job by Dr.Clark and his staff. They were friendly, professional, and did a great job of explaining my issues and the treatment options available moving forward.
Appointments and care with Dr. Clark are easy and positive. There is little waiting to start with. After trying many ways of caring for my shoulders, it became clear that it was time to do a replacement surgery. Dr. Clark is so knowledgeable that he explains the pros and cons-and the decision was truly mine. The surgery was straightforward and went without any problems. I am still working on strengthening my shoulder, but I can do almost everything. It has been a pleasure to work with such a kind, skilled, caring and respectful doctor and staff. I totally recommend Dr. Clark at ORA.
(Translated by Google) He is the best in his field, with extensive experience, and he takes the time to listen in order to offer solutions. I highly recommend him for your health. (Original) Il est meilleur dans son domaine avec beaucoup d’expérience et il prend son temps pour écouter afin de proposer des solutions. Je vous recommande fortement pour votre santé.
I called on a Friday and was able to get in on Monday to see Dr. Clark. I like how he always takes the time to explain, in detail, about whatever issue I am having.
Excellent care!
Dr Clark really listens to you. My husband and I think he's the best
Dr. Clark is wonderful, busy guy though! He has a pleasant personality and I felt like I was in good hands. The day of my shoulder surgery he made me feel comfortable and at ease. It’s time now for my other shoulder and I have no worries or fear.
Dr Clark is very good at listening to my symptoms and excellent at explaining what they mean then giving me options and remedies.
Very little time in waiting room and doctor's room. Dr. Clark was thorough in my accessment of my knee. Very pleased with my knee replacement and recovery.
Great personality makes you feel very comfortable and explains everything
Great guy always helpful and answers all my questions
I had been to my regular doctor several times over the course of 6 or 7 months for the same issue with lots of tests and no answers. She finally sent me to ORA to see Dr Clark and he found the issue in just a couple of minutes and was able to explain exactly what was needed to resolve my knee pain. Thanks to Dr Clark the pain is slowly going away and I'm now able to walk without limping, even after my 12hr shifts at work.
I absolutely love the fact that when I go for a visit, I am never in the waiting room for more than five minutes and it seems like I never have to wait more than five minutes when I get to the room. And the reason I keep coming back is because when I have a problem, it seems to get fixed the first time because of the knowledge and experience and that’s very important to me!!! Dr. Clark and his whole staff are very caring, kind, professional, and I appreciate everything they have done for me!!!

The ORA people were very efficient x-rays done and Dr visited and recommended an MRI. I agreed and soon I’ll get a estimation of my problem.
It's only been 24 hours and I feel great I worked 1 and 1/2 hours over time and I didn't hurt at all. It was a great feeling not going home hurting .
Very very helpful!!
