Dr. Clendenin is one of the best Doctors anywhere. He listens and cares about his patients. He is really easy to talk with, and treats people well. I am thankful he is a part of my health care team. I went in for an injection barely able to walk. A few hours later the pain is barely noticeable. I am indeed thankful for Dr. Clendenin.

Very good at what he does. Always listens and provides excellent feedback. I have been seeing him for years and I never had any more surgeries after having two in two years from a neurosurgeon in Nashville years ago.

I am so thankful to be treated by Dr. Clendenin. I have seen three other Doctors in five months, no results. He diagnosed and treated me the first visit.He is so intelligent, caring and a Doctor anyone would like to be under his care. I highly recommend.

My visit was very good. The test was very easy on me. Dr. Clendenin III did an excellent job and it didn't bother me at all. His nurse was very sweet and friendly.

I needed to have a cervical epidural for pain and was referred to Dr Clendenin by my orthopedic surgeon. From the time I walked into the surgical center until the time I walked out the staff was AMAZING. I was extremely nervous and they did everything to make me feel at ease. He spoke to me and my husband... explained the procedure and aftercare. During the procedure he talked to me... kept me informed of what he was doing and also tried keeping my mind off the scary needle. I am thankful for his skill, patience and bedside manner. It's only been 1 day and I feel ok. I am looking forward to the full effect of the injection. IF I ever need another one I will gladly see him again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I have had massive inflammation and pain in my lower back for several weeks. Just yesterday, doctor Clendening injected my back and within hours I was able to walk normally without pain. I no longer have to use my cane! I will not hesitate to see dr. Clendenin again should I if further Orthopedic issues, and I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a physiatrist or orthopedic surgeon.
