"My first impression of Dr. Clarke was \"wow he really knows his stuff\"! My impression of him never changed. I am very pleased with his office staff, especially Chris and John! I would tell future patients, that if they are looking for a good Doctor to perform their gastric bypass surgery....please go to Dr. Clarke or at least talk to him. Everyone at the office emphasize aftercare. Dr. Clarke addressed the risks of surgery to me and made me feel at ease by answering all of my questions as well as my husband's questions. From a scale from 1 to 10, I would definately give Dr. Clarke a 10!rnrnI feel both surgical competence and bedside manner are qualities that a Doctor should have. Dr. Clarke has these qualities."
