Dr. James Douglas Clarke, MD

All caring, all serious, all of the time - but constantly thinking and making recommendations. Some I liked, some I didn't - but all were presented with professional care and concern.

My MOM was treated by this Doctor a few yaers ago. He missed her diagnosis, did a cardiac cath, punctured her two to three too many because he failed to obtain her priviou history that had identified she had an abnormality and subsequently, he scheduled her for a by pass surgery. In preparing for the surgery, he hung heparin that thinned the blood out 10 times than the normal value. She bled out and died. On review, we found diviticulitis as a possible cause for her chest pain that was not resolved by nitroglycerine and the pain was never accompanied by any other symptoms. I not only hold him responsible for her death but the doctor who referred her since I talked to him about her chest pain.
