He was very friendly and helpful!
Dr. Clark was very personable, attentive, and began a plan to get me back to feeling pain free.
J.C. Clark, M.D. was very nice, he explained everything to me in details of what was going on with my hand. He is very professional from start to finish. If in the future I need to visit ORA in moline. I will make sure to go there. I know I will be treated well and swiftly with no confusion.
Dr Clark in my opinion is awesome. So many doctors these days rush through a 1 minute conversation and charge a high bill after walking off. Not Dr. Clark. He repaired my shoulder a couple years ago and reattached my bicept. Did a great job. I reinjured it. He quickly seen me. Always super friendly. Not fake. He has compassion. Explained everything and gave me a cortisone injection on the spot. No rescheduling waiting for months. Explains everything. Answers my every question. Listens. Truly cares about helping. My original injury was years ago and Dr. Daugherty from ORA reconstructed my arm after Illini hospital was going to amputate. Giving me years back to return to work. Dr Clark has the same heart compassion and intellectual ability as a surgeon to help me regain my life being able to still do alot after severe trauma to my arm. As a young man he has an old fashioned Doctor's heart. Thank you Doctor Clark... Have seen Dr. Clark a couple times since this. He is always great.

Dr. Clark has a very good bedside manner. He explained everything to me and answered any questions that I had. I highly recommend him.
Dr Clark is a very caring doctor. He explains every detail of any procedure and results of tests, what to expect and how to continue to keep the progress made from surgery and therapy. He is so friendly and caring. Certainly makes me calm the nerves. Highly recommended. Thank you Dr Clark and all of ORA.
I recommend Dr. Clark. He's great at explaining everything and giving options. Overall great bedside manor.
Took Excellent care of me. Explained all that I had concerns about. Very courteous and professional staff. Recommend Dr. Clark highly.
I highly recommend ORA. Dr. Clark is an excellent doctor. Gets right to the point. Explains everything to the point. I highly recommend Dr. Clark.
I have had ORA and two Drs. for three different surgeries. My complete knee replacement, Achilles tendon, and a rotator cuff and bicep surgery and I would definitely refer this location and Dr. Clark and Dr. Pyevich to anyone.
Once again I feel so very fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Jason Clark. His care and expertise are unmatched. Had I continued with prior treatment, I would not have the pain-free, upper body mobility I have today. Dr. Clark is a truly wonderful and gifted physician.
Superior physician who takes the time to carefully explain all aspects and details of the necessary procedure to the patient. Outstanding diagnostician and surgeon. It’s fortunate that an area as small as the Quad Cities has this caliber of physician. Several of my physicians are with Mayo Clinic of Rochester, and Dr. Clark is on par with that level of excellence.
Dr. Clark is a very easy going doctor, when I had questions regarding where my pain was coming from he showed me an anatomical model of a knee and showed me the exact places and what those muscles do.
Dr Clark has amazing skill and experience even with a complex situation like mine. I was referred to him by my regular orthopedist which is a strong statement by his peer.
Dr Clark is very through and explained everything so I could understand. He explained my options very clearly. I highly recommend Dr Clark.
Had fallen and X-rays showed I had fractured my knee and elbow. My Dr told me to go to ORA walk in
Dr Clark has been closely monitoring repeat injuries in both of my rotator cuffs. He is kind and thorough, caring and a very skilled surgeon. I highly recommend him p.
I didn't have to wait long he came right in, he checked out my legs, listened to me about it, explained everything to me. .he was friendly and nice staff was nice
I came into the care of Dr. Clark after suffering a pretty severe ankle break. My tibia was dislocated and my fibula suffered a clean break. During our pre-surgery consultation Dr. Clark laid out his plan for my recovery. He was really down-to-earth and also thorough with the information he provided. Overall, he showed a very genuine and professional concern for my well-being. Dr. Clark performed an surgical Open Reduction Internal Fixture (ORIF). A plate and 8 screws were affixed to my fibula bone to keep it aligned through the healing process. The surgery went great. Post-surgery he went on to inform me about my coming physical therapy sessions. He provided me with tips on how to best transition from one phase to the next throughout my therapy, i.e., going from cast and crutches to a walking boot, to lace up ankle support brace. Things have been well while recovering. It’s been quite the road to travel but I’m getting there. Dr. Clark has been instrumental in providing me the best treatment options throughout my my recovery. I believe standards of care and humanity are bedrock principles in the medical field, all of which Dr. Clark always appeared to exude effortlessly. I appreciate your service and all who serve like you in the field. Keep on being the great physician you are Dr. Clark! You rock! 😃
He is knowledgeable and does a great job of explaining things.
Dr. Clark was extremely friendly and kind to both me and my 4 year old son with a broken foot. He explained things us in uncomplicated terms and we had a great experience!
ORA is very busy but, they got me in and out quickly and efficiently each visit. Dr. Clark does a nice job of listening and responding to patient needs.
Very nice and very good at explaining everything.
Each doctor specializes in a part of the body. I saw Dr. Clark and he treated my shoulder pain. The pain is subsiding already after just 2 days. I would recommend Dr. Clark highly. Fabulous people at ORA.
Dr. Clark was fabulous. He diagnosed my problem, gave me an injection, 2 prescriptions and scheduled me for physical therapy. I was so thankful it wasn't a tear in my rotator cuff.
Doctor is really friendly , had some issues getting to schedule my surgery but rest all has been good overall ! Going to get my ACL repaired and i am really confident with the whole setting i have been represented till now !
Dr. Clark is very pleasant to work with, he takes the time to discuss in great detail what is happening with your recovery or surgery and answers questions in a way that you understand. I would highly recommend him.
The entire staff was wonderful. They listened to my concerns and genuinely interested in helping me
Very nice atmosphere Dr Clark really cares about his patients been going to him for years
I would definitely recommend Dr. Clark. I was skeptical at first, only because my first doctor retired. But after being seen by Dr. Clark, I was more at ease. He doesn’t try to push anything on you that you may not want, very professional and knowledgeable, and a great “bedside manner”. He will be my doctor as long as he is with ORA, or until he retires.
This young doctor is going to the top of his profession. Down-to-earth and connected to his patient he brings something to the medical field I have not seen in a long time. True humility and caring service.
Dr Clark was very good. Explain my situation and what we needed to do to fix it. Took his time to make sure I understood. I would highly recommend him.
Great service, and was very informed before and after the surgery! Dr Clark did a great job!
Dr. Clark was very nice and made sure I had the information I needed to feel comfortable that his findings were accurate and that the ER doctor had made a mistake in his diagnosis of my having a fractured elbow. Dr. Clark and his staff took precautions and put a hard splint on it for a week, then x-rayed it again. He showed me and went over both x-rays and radiologist's report. I would definitely recommend Dr. Clark to someone in need of his services.
Always professional and caring. Great to work with. Never feel like he is in a hurry and takes the time to explain what is needed. Highly recommend.
He was very thorough and knowledgeable. He put me at ease right away and I have no worries or fear about my upcoming surgery.
They are fast , friendly and very easy to work with they have been very helpful with my shoulder making it better?
Dr Clark & staff are very nice..They make sure I understand all my instructions..I would give them an excellent review to anyone thinking of using ORA office..
My go to doctor for shoulder and knees. He listens and cares, addressing pain and mobility
Exactly what a doctor should be.
Efficient and quality service
Easy to talk to. Very friendly Explains everything in a way you can understand. Wait time is minimal 5 minutes maybe My therapist likes him too
Wife broke her ankle and required emergency attention. Dr Clark provided great explanation, pros and cons of treatment options and potential ramifications of each. Information was clear and concise. Very pleasant to deal with and efficient.
Dr. Clark was prompt, caring and very professional.
Dr. Clark did an arthroscopic revision of my torn rotator cuff. He gave me great care and excellent follow-up directions. Physical therapy was perfect, and now, my strength and range of motion are wonderful.
Enjoyed seeing Dr. Clark. He is very informative and personable.
The staff were very helpful and understanding to all of my needs, not just my broken ankle.
Excellent service
I have been and continue to be very happy with the ongoing care I have received from Dr.Clark. He has done several cortisone shots and 2 different shoulder surgeries over the past 2 years. He has treated my left thumb arthritis with cortisone injections as well. Due to ongoing shoulder pain he ordered an MRI. I was pleasantly surprised when Dr. Clark followed up personally by phone to go over the results. That issue was resolved by another ORA surgeon. I have complete trust in him to manage my current/ongoing shoulder issue. Dr. Clark listens to my concerns/symptoms and takes the time to answer/explain completely. He spends the appropriate amount of time with me even with a busy schedule and doesn't rush me out the door. Never had a long wait in lobby or exam room. His team is easily contacted with quick response times. I definitely recommend Dr. Clark! He's the best!

ORA, Dr Clark and staff, from check in to check out everyone was very nice and professional. Dr Clark is a very nice and empathetic person that it makes the whole experience bearable, even when you are in pain, Thank you for everything. I will use your services again if needed.
Dr. Clark was very personable, professional,and attentive. Great guy! Quick and presise!
Dr. Clark was amazing with me, my son, and my son’s father. Upon meeting with him, we didn’t have a good experience with the Dr on call, but were looking forward to meeting with a different Dr. in the morning. We were hoping but did not know we would be meeting with Dr. Clark the next morning. Meeting him the morning of my son’s surgery was truly miracle and believed it was heaven sent (I can be a bit dramatic, but that’s how we felt). We literally prayed the night before that we would have a second opinion and would feel confident about it. We didn’t want to transport him to another hospital, but would have, if that meant getting the best and right care for our son. He talked with us about our son’s surgery. He explained the injury and what the surgery would entail. Speaking with him that morning, made it easier for all of us to breathe a little better, considering what we’d been told the night before. Dr Clark took the time to talk with my son about his unfortunate situation that brought him into the hospital, his future career as an athlete, what to look forward to and to have a positive outlook for the future, when recovery begins. He smiled and laughed with us during the consultation. This made us all feel great about next steps. He had great bed side manners to say the least. During our follow up visit, Dr. Clark was very open with my son and I. He did a great job of explaining the before and after results, X-ray readings and anything else that needed to be discussed. We really appreciate Dr Clark.
Staff was very nice and my doctor explained everything and answered all my questions completely in a language the average person can comprehend .I recommend him to anyone that needs his help! Dr. J.C. Clark at ORA
I had a significant amount of shoulder pain. Dr. Clark addresses the area in a timely manner with amazing outcomes! He took time to explain the process as well as the effort needed to get the most out of physical therapy.
My rotator cuff surgery was successful. Dr. Clark patiently described every step I should expect concisely and in a way I could understand. He took the time to explain any questions I had without talking over my head. I would recommend him to anyone who faces this type of surgery.
Dr. Clark made my son feel relaxed as he explained what it is going to take to heal his ankle.
Very good doctor Doctor Clark
Dr Clark in my opinion is awesome. So many doctors these days rush through a 1 minute conversation and charge a high bill after walking off. Not Dr. Clark. He repaired my shoulder a couple years ago and reattached my bicept. Did a great job. I reinjured it. He quickly seen me. Always super friendly. Not fake. He has compassion. Explained everything and gave me a cortisone injection on the spot. No rescheduling waiting for months. Explains everything. Answers my every question. Listens. Truly cares about helping. My original injury was years ago and Dr. Daugherty from ORA reconstructed my arm after Illini hospital was going to amputate. Giving me years back to return to work. Dr Clark has the same heart compassion and intellectual ability as a surgeon to help me regain my life being able to still do alot after severe trauma to my arm. As a young man he has an old fashioned Doctor's heart. Thank you Doctor Clark

After 2 falls, an MRI showed I had torn one of the tendons of my right rotator cuff. The first time I visited, Dr. Clark had a picture of the tear and took the time to explain the injury. My goal was to avoid rotator repair surgery. Dr. Clark supported my choice to try physical rehab first, and see if I could strengthen the muscles sufficiently so the remaining 3 tendons of the rotator could compensate for the torn tendon. The therapy was outstanding and it looks like I accomplished my goal! I am so grateful that Dr. Clark is patient, kind, methodical AND he really knows how to listen!
Dr Clark took his time and explained what my problem was and suggested what I needed to do.
Dr. Clark does a great job of explaining things and answering my questions. I was nervous about some cortisone injections but he did them efficiently and painlessly.
Got in quickly staff is very friendly Doctor is really nice and friendly
If I were able to leave 10 stars, I definitely would. Dr. Clark is very good at explaining exactly what he has planned to do on my reverse shoulder surgery. He answered all my questions and was very patient with me, I had many questions. I felt very comfortable when leaving my visit, knowing I will be in good hands. Thank you Dr. Clark and staff.
Excellent
Just had my 6 month checkup for knee replacement surgery with Jamie. I believe she actually assisted with my surgery. I've seen Jamie 3 or 4 times now for various joint related problems and she's always been very professional and friendly.
I have used Dr. Clark twice now. I had both knee's replaced. Dr. Clark was fantastic. He described everything he was going to do and addressed all my questions. He never made me feel rushed.
Dr. Clark does a great job. Everybody is friendly.
Outstanding doctor. Very courteous and very thorough. Explains all your options very well. Explains in terms that are easily understood. Would highly recommend to anyone who has shoulder problems.
I was very impressed with Dr Clark. He took the time to explain my injury and what to expect. He was very personable.
The whole process was smooth and quick. Had X rays, saw Dr. and had physical therapy appointments scheduled all within an hour. Dr. Clark was very thorough and I feel great about my visit.
Excellent, great care and results on both knee replacement surgeries!
Dr Clark has been wonderful! He has provided me with all of the information I need to make a decision on what I need to do about my shoulder pain. I was able to get in to see him within a reasonable time. He has taken the time to explain each test result clearly to me. In a very short amount of time he has gained my trust. I recommend him highly.
I've had two rotator cuff repairs and a third procedure done on the same shoulder by Dr. Clark. Nice guy. Great surgeon.
I had my right shoulder done 6 yrs ago. This year my left shoulder went bad. I came back to Dr. Clark because he did a great job the first time and his staff is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend and have recommended Dr. Clark .
After several years of shoulder pain as a professional painting contractor. I was diagnosed with a full tear in my left shoulder rotator cuff. I had got a first opinion and I needed sugery. When I went to ORA and meet with Dr. Clark for my 2nd opinion. I felt very comfortable with his overall examination and him walking me through the process of surgery and how the next several months would be on the healing side with therapy. Surgery and therapy went well and I'm back to work with full range and building strength daily. What really impressed me from first impression was the size of the lobby, the many patients and number of receptionist. Compared to my first opinion in a much smaller scale of a Orthopedic service I was convinced and felt confident ORA specialized in Orthopedic service and felt this is where I needed to put my trust in for my future livelihood. I plan to have my right shoulder looked at soon and if surgery us required, I will be returning to ORA once again.
Dr. Clark is very personal and always attentive to my concerns. With my concerns, Dr. Clark is exceptional at alleving my concerns even if it isn't what I want to hear. And when the result isn't what I want to hear, Dr. Clark is above exceptional at assuring me that in the long run, everything is going to be fine. I have complete confidence in Dr. Clark in getting me back to the activity level I was used to, even though the healing process is completely out of his hands.
He is never in a rush listens to all of what you have to say, very caring doctor.
I was very well taken care of through the prep, surgery, and follow ups. All my questions were answered
They were very polite & helpful & courtious 2 me.
Dr Clark is always pleasant and great at explaining things to us and our daughter that has a shoulder issue. He was thorough. I feel that he takes time and answers any questions we have. We did not spend a lot of time in waiting area which was even better!
Excellent ?
Great staff. Little wait time. And Dr. Clark is wonderful. Successful treatment of torn rotator cuff and arthritic knee!
A very good experience. Dr Clark explained my injury very well and provided the best treatment. A job well done
Very knowledgable & friendly staff. Appointment was on-time as scheduled. Thank you helping me with my broken hip.
Dr. Clark is very thorough and knowledgeable. When I broke my ankle in a car accident, he could have very easily performed surgery but it wasn't needed and he didn't. I wouldn't have known if I needed surgery or not. Very caring and has a good bedside manner. Highly recommend.
I have seen Dr Clark and Dr VonGillern absolutely have the best experience,. The problem I have is with Emily who fills out the WI FMLA and disability papers it’s is December 12 she called me on December 3 to ask me a question on the paperwork so now I can’t puck them up until December 13 so I don’t get to get paid so thank to her I’m not going to have a nice Christmas. If I could of got the yesterday I would get paid I don’t understand why she still doing the paperwork she had so many complaints. I hope she has a nice Christmas because I’m not
Wonderful staff, surgery, billing, medical records, everyone is courteous and helpful. Dr Clark has been great, informative and helpful
Great staff, quick service, super nurses and PA’s, & Dr Clark treats you as a patient and not a number.
Nothing but good things to say about Jason Clark.
Dr. Clark was very good. He listened to me as to what was going on. Did testing to find out what was wrong. Ended up needing surgery and he explained everything about it.
Dr. Clark is a wonderful M.D. I have complete trust in him to help me make the best decision regarding my orthopedic needs.
I would definatly recommend Dr Clark he took time to explain my injury to me, got me in a splint immediately, then onto a cast. The staff at ORA was also wonderful to work with. My appointment was on time, they help me with my insurance questions and very efficient. Thank you Dr Clark and ORA.
The staff is extremely nice and very helpful. I can also say if you have a problem with your knees, do yourself a favor and see Dr Clark. He is excellent. I had a meniscus tear which he repaired for me. After the surgery and therapy, my knee felt better than it had in 30 years. He also is VERY good at explaining things to you. Put simply, he explained it so I could understand it. Hopefully my knee will give me decades of service, but if I ever need help with it, there is no doubt that ORA and Dr. Clark will be who I see for help. Tom Lawrence
Great caring staff very thorough
I'm so grateful that I was directed to Dr. Clark for the pain in my shoulders. He thoroughly checked my shoulders and after receiving cortisone shots, my shoulders felt great. My left shoulder has more issues and I know with complete confidence that I am being treated by the right doctor and his care team.
Dr clark listens to you. He informs you of your condition and of your treatment. Helpful and Friendly.
Shout out to Dr. J.C. Clark at ORA in Moline. I have known Dr Clark (Jason) since grade school. His professionalism is top notch. I seen Jason for rotator cuff surgery and I’m now recovering well. The staff was also excellent! I would recommend anyone needing orthopedic assistance to give ORA a call. ?
