The Dr was amazingly empathetic, his attention was very pleasant for us as parents, he explained everything in detail, gave us the necessary information to understand the child's situation and provided us with different options, always attentive that we understood everything explained, without a doubt, it was an excellent experience and I would not hesitate to attend again if my son needed it, I would recommend it anyway.

Cocky and arrogant. Seems to have no patience with family members. If you want someone that actually cares, I wouldn't waste your time here. Between the extended wait time in the lobby and his attitude toward any conversation or questions as parents, this was a terrible experience.

Seems to make up policies as he goes when talking to parents. Talks about his procedures as if he's a world renowned urologist. The overall bedside manner is poor. Why practice in pediatrics if you don't like dealing with family??

Dr. Clayton saw my grandson and he was extremely professional, kind, considerate, compassionate and an absolute GOD send for us. He diagnosed him quickly when two other physicians said nothing needed to be done. He needed a minor procedure done but with everything he had been through before it was quite traumatic for us all to see him have to go through it, But Dr. Clayton was very understanding and supportive and took excellent care of my grandson both during and after the procedure. We are extremely thankful for him and his staff, they are truly a blessing and I would recommend him to everyone.

Horrible bedside manner. Very fake/not genuine/doesn't tell the truth about his own mistakes/horrible with children/has an issue with females who are intelligent and question him/immediately looks to the man in the room I can not stress enough the lack of genuine care or compassion, although I think he tries hard to pretend he does. He behaves very much as an elitist-and it clearly shows on his face when he is speaking to you.
