Excellent! 15 years ago Dr. Clark repaired my blown out knee.... read moreExcellent! 15 years ago Dr. Clark repaired my blown out knee. To this date I enjoy rigorous activity to include extreme mountain biking, skiing, extreme dirt bike riding and most importantly- my career as a Seattle Firefighter!
I didn't give him much to work with considering my three previous knee surgeries and injuries had eaten away much of the joint. Those surgeries, performed by others, never felt stable. As a result, I was significantly contemplating what my future held as a result of that last knee injury. Truly wondering if I would be able to continue my career.
Not only was I able to continue my career, the repair was so much more stable that I became comfortable pursuing all of my passions listed above. Just an absolutely excellent surgeon!
Since we met, much time has past. Each of my family members and myself have seen Dr Clark for various maladies. Dr Clark is an orthopedic specialist, but his skills go well beyond being a miracle worker in the Operating Room. His approach always fits the scenario and he doesn't leave you guessing. He will tell you straight up what your options are and doesn't push for surgery, unless it is necessary. Often, he will present alternative solutions, complete with all the pro's and con's specific to your individual situation (to include referring you to other excellent specialist if he thinks another could address your issue better).
At my age, I am often embarrassed by whatever new trama I suffered due to my life style choices. I never hesitate to visit Dr. Clark for solutions. He gets to know patients and never makes me feel stupid or silly, often bring levity to a situation.
His staff is excellent and consistent year after year. I see him at his Northgate office. His staff has been with him for years and that speaks volumes about how he treats them. They all play this mutual respect forward by maintaining a pleasant atmosphere and being excellent in their lanes! They handle insurance completley, set appointments easily (can rush you in in time sensitive situations) and maintain a spotless environment. Cathy, Jill and Debbie are top notch.
In the end, Dr. Clark and staff are real people with a genuine interest in getting you healthy through the most appropriate means relating to your situation. Sooo glad to have such a great option available for my family and myself! read less

He is extremely knowledgeable and made the process quick and as painless as possible. I have been to 2 other doctors for this issue and neither was as professional as Dr. Clark. He also provided me with information on a new procedure which I was unaware of that is not as invasive as the normal surgery. I will be seeing him again for sure! read less

I have gone from a broken wrist to a hip replacement with complications and I wouldn't go to anyone else! I feel he has saved my life, improved my mobility and always is very responsive to my concerns. Unfortunately he can't work forever but I am grateful he has been there for me. His staff has always been very friend, helpful and informative. Everyone is very thorough and they follow through on everything even though I now live in Guatemala. I am return yet again for another surgery soon and know that everything will be alright! read less

He was courteous, made time to listen to what I had to say about my condition. I had two total knee replacements and throughout the whole procedure his kindness and knowledge was excellent. I had a complication with a blood clot and he spotted it straight away. He brought in a specialist to co-ordinate his medications with mine so no mistakes were made. I am going back 6 years later to see about my feet and hip. I have no hesitation in telling you that you can totally trust his expertise and his manner. He is a true gentleman.
