Patient Reviews
Dr Clark did more X-rays and had pictures to show my problem and explained all options available. Cortisone was injected with no pain. Highly recommend Dr Clark
I have no pain since Dr. Clark gave me a steroid injection in my left shoulder.
Dr. Clark was knowledgeable, caring, efficient, attentive, and amicable!! He took time to answer any questions that I had concerning my condition before and after surgery.
I was very happy with Dr. Clark at my first visit yesterday. He's friendly, looks you in the eye, listens, and explains things well.
Quick and efficient
Dr. Clark was awesome. He’s very experienced and professional. He took the time to explain everything to me and has an excellent bedside manner. He did a spectacular job repairing my meniscus in 2015 and is currently treating me for a running injury. I would definitely recommend Dr. Clark!!!
Excellent doctor and staff.while I was having X-rays I felt light headed and his staff made sure I was ok and offered some snack or drink thought maybe my sugar levels were low. Thank you all so much
All the employees are very nice and Dr. Clark a great doctor and would recommend ORA to anyone.
Dr Clark was very professional and helpful in addressing my knee pain. He explained everything very clearly and offered a solution that has been very effective. Thank You Dr . Clark.
From the moment I was seen by Dr Clark he was professional and compassionate about all the details. He explained my condition, answered all my concerns and made me feel 100 percent comfortable with my decision to have surgery. He’s very good at what he does and he makes you feel important and spends as much time with you as you need. I highly recommend Dr Clark and I tell everyone about his great work.

Staff on this Monday morning was not friendly or much responsive. Totally out of character for all my previous many visits. Dr. Clark was fantastic as usual.
Great guy! Thoughtful gives you insight for future concerns that may arise.
Very efficient. Dr Clark takes his time with you and explains so I understand. I would recommend him to everyone!
What struck me the most about our visit with Dr. Clark is that he directly addressed my 3 year old (the patient) while also including us (parents) in the conversation. He was thorough yet quick! I certainly wish my kid’s arm wasn’t broken, but I’m very confident and happy that he will be well taken care of here.
Dr. Clark and his team are always caring, knowledgeable and efficient. Been a patient for several years and I highly recommend him.
Dr. Clark is easy to talk to. He listens to what I have to say and communicates at my level. Dr. Clark did my rotor cuff surgery which I'm very satisfied with. I had 2 complete tears and 3 or 4 partial tears. 6 months after surgery I'm pain free and back to 90% full movement. I highly recommend Dr. Clark, ORA and his team.
Awesome experience. Dr Clark and staff efficient and thorough
Fast. Friendly. Knowledgeable. All of my options were explained and the Dr let me decide what was best for me. I will never go to any other orthopedic facility.
I have had many orthopedic surgeries performed by many surgeons.! I must say that Dr. Clark answered all of my questions, offered solutions and thorough explanation as to what to expect before, during and after my upcoming shoulder replacement. I feel extremely confident and in good hands with Dr. Clark.
Dr. Clark is a very down to earth man. My questions were all answered clearly. My treatment that day was explained so that I knew what was happening and that it was going to be uncomfortable. I appreciate the care he gave me.
Dr. Clark was very attentive to my problem and was helpful in my problem.
Throughly investigated the cause of my symptoms. Presented solutions for correction on both of my shoulders. I frequently refer others to Dr. Clark.
Very thorough with diagnosis and plan for treatment.
Very nice doctor to work with.
Dr Clark was very informative, cared and was understanding of what I wanted. Now Dr Collins, different story. I saw him for a different reason in the past and he said that it was impossible that I have scoliosis only ?% of the population has that. This Dr didn't even look at my chart before he walked in because I was getting seen to get curvature in my spine measured.
Very professional and caring.Thank you
My experience with ORA and Dr.Clark was very helpful. He explained my options, made a drawing right there on the table explaining my situation and gave me a range of options to address my recovery. He didn’t push, took the time to address my ailment, and I left feeling confident and comfortable with a game plan for treatment.
Dr. Clark is the best!
Very sore right now. Trying new drug so far not to good, give it a few more days. Thank you Jen 😊
Dr Clark did a great job with me. He explained my options with some recommendations. I chose what was needed. He explained everything before he did the Procedure. Helped my pain I would recommend him to my friends and family.
Dr. Clark is very professional arriving to my appointment in a timely manner and efficient in checking both of my 'new knees'. He takes time to listen to and answer any questions that I might have. I find him competent and kind. I would and have recommended him to others.
I WAS TAKING CARE OF LIKE FAMILY VERY SUCCESSFUL SURGERY THEY CARE ABOUT ME AND MY KNEE
Courteous ,very professional, doesn't keep you waiting.
Dr. Clark was amazing, very friendly and helpful.
Dr. Jason Clark is the only surgeon I seek out at ORA. Extremely professional, caring, and he takes the time to listen. I have had multiple procedures done by Dr. Clark and all have been excellent in the outcome. Highly recommended, and I don’t use those words lightly.
Great and timely morning visit with Doc Clark and staff. New xrays and copies of recent mri were provided and discussed. I was impressed with ORA team and planning to continue treatment there. Dr. CLARK was informative and reassuring on current knee status and future needs. ORA is recommended care option for hurting folks.
Always excellent friendly, efficient staff Dr Clark is the best! Explains everything and very skilled professional!!
Very friendly and efficient staff. Dr. J.C. Clark was very knowledgeable and confident about my situation. Told me the plan he had for my shoulder recovery and explained things so I could understand everything. I feel that I'm in good hands. A couple months since Dr. Clark has performed a reattachment surgery on my right rotator cuff. The tendon on top of shoulder was snapped in two. Dr. had to put anchors in bone and reattach strands of the tendon. I have been in therapy for a few months and Amber and Sara have been wonderful helping me regain range of motion, not completely there yet ,but have no doubts about regaining range of motion. As far as I'm concerned Dr Jason Clark and ORA staff , ORA Therapy group are a Saving Grace for my shoulder injury. Recently had 6 month check up with Dr Clarke, after examining my shoulder movements. Dr says 85 - 90 % healed. 1 yr for total healing after rotator cuff surgery. I'm feeling almost normal again, still alittle tightness in some movements, but confident in full recovery. Able to start weight training with light weight and high reps. I can't say enough good things about the great job Dr. Clarke did putting my shoulder back together. I would recommend Dr. Clarke to anyone needing joint surgery. He's the best in my book
Dr Clark is a true professional. He is knowledgable in the latest procedures and recommends the most beneficial procedure for you. He is never late in an appointment. He listens to your issues and has reasonable solutions. I would recommend him without hesitation.
The atmosphere was clean. Everyone treating you in a friendly timely matter
I'm 2½ weeks post rotator cuff surgery (supraspinatus & bicep reattachment and subacromial decompression). Dr. Clark did such a fantastic job repairing it that I already have less discomfort now than I did in the month leading up to my surgery. He and his staff are top notch.
My experience with Dr. Clark could not have been better!! He was thorough in his examination of my knee and answered all my questions.
With two kids in sports and multiple injuries, Dr. Clark is always helpful getting them back in action...As well, great at explaining diagnosis and means to recovery that both parents and athletes understand...Thanks!
A great physician that repaired my shoulder and labral tear. After 8 months recovery and physical therapy I am good as new!
Very helpful
Very good experience. Dr. Clark explained things well. Listens and answers questions patiently. The whole staff from setting up the appointment to scheduling the next one was pleasant.
Dr Clark was very patient and kind. He answered all questions honestly and with clarity. Despite how busy he didn’t rush. The office is beautiful, efficient and the staff are all smiling and very kind.
Very caring, great surgeon!
ORA is the best!! Efficient friendly staff from front desk to exam room! Dr JC Clark is kind, caring and thorough!
Dr. Clark is always great.
I've been gone to Dr Clark for years I think he is a great doctor he listens to you and let you know the truth about how you're doing but does not pressure you into surgeries.
Dr Clark is very caring and knowledgeable. I have recommended him to several family members. Very satisfied!!
Extremely efficient process from entering the building, completing registration, getting x-rays and seeing Dr. Clark - without feeling rushed. Thorough explanation of condition with recommendations for next steps. Listened.
After performing rotator cuff surgery my pain has stopped. He did a great job on my shoulder even though I will have a long recovery.
Dr. Clark was very efficient and thorough. He was quick and to the point. He told me what he thought was the best route to take for my shoulder. He and his staff were very helpful. I would recommend Dr. Clark to friends and family or anyone else in need.
He listened to me and he guided me to develop the best plan for me. The outcome was perfect. I am good as new!
Excellent doctor
Dr. Clark and the staff at ORA are always friendly and helpful. Had a 9 AM oppontment arrived at 8:45. Had 6 x-rays of my knees then back to a room. Dr. Clark came right in explaining the x-rays. Went over the opposition. Let me decide. Expand the process in detail. After I had 2 shots in my knees and out the door at 9:20. Knees feel 100 % better. Would recommend Dr. Clark and ORA to family and friends.
Staff was very helpful and caring. Hade a 9 AM appointment , arrived at 8:45 had x-rays of both knees. Got 2 shots in my knees. Was out the door at 9:20. Doctor Clark explained the x-rays and what he could do. Shots where the best option. Fell 100% better. Would recommend Doc. Clark to my family and friends.....
I had my right knee scoped and everything is good and now I’m having my left knee replaced. Dr. Clark is great and speaks a language that can be understood, not so much in doctors language.
Dr. Clark is great! He is always going above and beyond to make sure his patients are very well taken care of.
ORA is the only orthopedic I trust in the Midwest. Dr. J.C. Clark has always been very clear with me on any issue I have encountered and I trust his judgement and guidance 110%. He has also operated on several other family members over the years and his skill and bed side manor is second to none.
I had a very good experience with doctor Clark. He took the time to listen to me and talked to me about what we think might of be my problem. He was very quick and polite. He also was understanding and made me feel comfortable.
Dr. Clark had been absolutely amazing these last couple of months since I've broken my ankle!
Been great every time I come in helped me a lot
Dr Clark is Awesome!!
I had a nice experience With doctor Clark.. He is very personable and listens.
Dr. Clark is very thorough and is very knowledgeable. He also has a great personality and bedside manner.
Dr Clark takes the time to explain everything at every visit and is a great surgeon. He’s preparing me for my next surgery and I’m feeling very at ease under his care
Dr. Clark is very attentive to the issue(s) you are having. He works with you to ensure the treatment will best alleviate any pain and discomfort you may be having. Dr Turner was a tough act to follow but ORA Orthopedics got it right. I recommend Dr. Clark for any knee issues you might be having!
ORA is a fabulous place. All the doctors have been more than helpful to me. They have always been a great encourager too. I was just to see Dr Clark on Monday 3/27. But in July of 2022 he advised me to STOP ibuprofen and start taking turmeric instead. This was great advice and has helped me soo much in the inflammation in my knees. Thank you Dr Clark for steering me onto a better and healthier path. All of the doctors I have seen (Turner, Clark, Munns) are exceptional doctors and really truly know what they are talking about and so easy to understand. I know Dr Turner has retired though. Thanks for a great clinic filled with great and helpful doctors. I pray for each of you so often. ❤️🙏🏼
Very pleasant and explained everthing clearly and covered everything
Dr. Clark is always helpful and very knowledgeable. It also helps that he's friendly and you never feel like you're just a patient.
I had excellent and prop care with my visit… its rare now to find medical facilties that are so caring…. I cannt thank all staff enough
Dr. Clark answered many of my questions before I even asked. He was not going to be talked into something I thought I wanted and explained why it was not a good idea for me. His discussions with me were precise, easily understood, but not at all condescending. I respect and appreciate Dr. Clark very much!
Dr. Clark is very professional. He explains the problem and gives you options to help. He is easy to talk to and has a good personality. I went to him with knee problems. He took X-rays and it showed bone on bone. I will probably have to have a knee replacement but Iâm not ready to yet, so he gave me a cortisone injection. It has really helped for now. Iâm glad I went to Dr. Clark and I highly recommend him.
Very nice office, staff and Dr. Clark explained sprain and necessary physical therapy in a positive light.

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Clark for some bad right Shoulder pain and He is a Great Doctor! He Actually Listens to his patients concerns and is Very Thorough in his evaluation of your personal injuries. I have to say that Dr. J.C. Clark actually cares about his patients versus just looking at them as a dollar sign for revenue for the business. He treats you as if you are one of his own family members and actually cares about his patients well-being and getting them back to health. His assistant’s and the other staff from check-in to checkout to scheduling for surgery are all so friendly and caring. They all sincerely care about their clients/patients. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Dr. J.C. Clark and ORA Orthopedics to anyone needing treatment and or Surgery for Any injuries sustained in the workplace. Sports or any other injuries.

Dr. Clark at ORA is amazing! I feel that he takes the time to listen, explains things thoroughly and cares about my health. He does this with kindness too. I would recommend Dr. Clark!
Dr. Clark along with his staff are exactly what what is meant by "caring and compassionate". They are timely in addressing my problem. Dr. Clark takes the exam and explanations on options available very expertly and always asks if l have any questions or concerns. I never received finer medical attention, anywhere. It truly has been refreshing to have been introduced to this fine man and received the care he given me. He and his outstanding staff are to be proud of their work ethic. I am recommending to anyone with orthopedic problems to consider Dr. J.C. Clark, M.D. You owe it to yourself and your family to do the best for your body's repair process. Respectful, Richard Plunkett
Dr. Clark was very knowledgeable but spoke so we understood as well. Great experience.
They are very kind and awesome Drs and nurses I would definitely recommend them and thank you so much for taking care of me
Dr. Clark was referred to me by my regular ORA Surgeon due to the severity of my shoulder injury. Dr. Clark does his homework and listens, ask questions, and explains with concern about your injury. He is not just concerned about the injury, but also you as person, and your desired needs, and the lifestyle you wish to maintain. I look forward to my continued partnership with Dr. Clark and his team in my treatment of my shoulder injury.
Doctor Clark and his staff in the cast room are very experienced and very friendly and sit down and explain everything to you on treatment and after treatment. THANKS DR CLARK. RICKY BOBBY
