Dr Clayton removed adhesions from my small bowel. He was courteous and kind and a wonderful surgeon. I would never go to anyone but him if you need surgery.

I had a colonoscopy several years back. He never came in to see me after the procedure. The hospital staff said he talked to my family. They are 13 hrs away so no that didn't happen. Then they said he talked to the person that brought me in. Wrong again, I drove myself. All I ever received was a form letter. Won't go back to him or Daviess Cty Hosp. They wait for 3 and 6 yrs and bill you but never send a copy of the bill, just a bunch of numbers and letters.

He is just fine if everything is going ok but if you have a problem no one in his office cares and won't work you in. He also wants his money up front but when the insurance pays him he doesn't want to pay you back!
