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.
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.
Awsome DR very knowledgeable.
Employees are very nice and helpful,they got my son in right away for a appointment
Dr. Clark answered all my questions and told me what I could do with my situation. No surgery needed yet!

ORA is very welcoming. From the check in until you check out. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Dr Clark is fantastic. He takes the time to explain everything to you and listens to your concerns. In addition, he is an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend ORA and Dr Clark.
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. ALL AROUND GREAT DOCTORS AND CARING STAFF! THANK YOU ORA ORTHOPEDICS AND DR. J.C. CLARK!

Dr. Clark is very knowledgeable and understanding of his patients road to recovery.
Very happy with the outcome so far.
I love dr Clark. ! He always listens to me about whatever pain I have
Dr. Clark was on time and friendly. My teenager understood everything he was telling him, and what to expect for healing time. Very happy we went to ORA urgent care 1st when he got hurt.
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
My appointment was on time and Dr. Clark explained my condition by showing me the x-rays of my knees and gave me several ideas to do to keep pain in control. Very good experience!
Very kind, helpful and professional staff and Dr. Clark explains options and procedures referenced to your visit.
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.
Its great everyone is nice and well trained
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 ok nurse was rude ... He did bilateral fasciotomies no issues .. everything went good staff was helpful with aftercare and issues.. I would definitely ask for him again if I needed that type of care.
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
