He broke a drill bit in my hand after he missed a broken bone in my hand and i still got a big bill for his mess up after a second surgery that could have been avoided.

Dr. Clarkson was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable. He took the time to make sure all of my questions were answered as well as my husbands.

Dr Clarkson did a great job on my hand surgery. He had a good bedside manner and am happy with the results. He referred me to an OT after surgery and it has been very beneficial.

2 hours 1/2 wastes time. Left feeling like a whimp or addict. Going to U of m or surgeon in Lansing. He is disrespectful and unkind.

He explained everything to me and was very clear on what he was going to do. Took the time to answer my questions. Highly recommend Dr. Clarkston.
