Dr Clifford did a 4-5 fusion and I can now live life to its fullest! He did surgery six months after another doctor. He found a bone shard in my spinal cord and my spinal cord had fused to the injury. He freed it up and I can now touch my toes and do all the activities I enjoy!

I recently met with Dr. Clifford regarding a back injury. After sitting in the exam room for approximately 20 minutes he arrived. During our discussion he was dismissive, uninterested and kept looking at his watch during our discussion. I left the visit feeling devalued as a patient and unimportant. It was a disappointing experience. I had been told he was a great doctor and while he may be a great surgeon he could benefit from treating his patients with more regard, and consideration regardless of the medical condition.

Dr. Clifford is great. His PA needs to be replaced. He is rude, hurtful and never have been talked to so nasty by anyone . Will no longer go back to this office again. When Clifford leaves this office, I hope he leaves Todd there because he will ruin his office.

Dr. Clifford has a crisp, friendly manner. His Physicians Assistants spend the most time with patients. He recently performed a lumbar fusion of 3 discs on my back, and I'm very satisfied with his skill. My back is healing well and his followup is conscientious.
