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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
