We came from out of town (Pacific Northwest) and we are grateful that Dr. Clarke has been there to support us through this challenging time. She always gives us timely feedback in a caring manner, takes time to address any questions or concerns we have (not typical for our home-state doctors), and is efficient in providing us the results of tests in a thoughtful way. We would highly recommend her to anyone who wants supportive and thoughtful care.

Didnt care about the pain i was in, didnt care about the other options, just, "keep riding it out" and hoping i live longer. Well educated but not able to connect with anyone on a personal level and help like a doctor should. Im aware she is busy, of course. But this is serious. Terminal cancer is serious....

Dr. Jennifer Clarke failed this oath and caused the demise of a family member by ordering a double dose of Chemotherapy when it was not necessary. Because of this irresponsible action terrible life threatening complications occurred that greatly reduced the quality of life and time for our loved one. The tumor was already under control and NOT aggressively growing, increasing the dose was the wrong thing to do. Find a doctor with more experience who is not motivated by outside influences to over chemo patients.
