Dr was great! He was on time if not early. Rarely see that at a drs office. Listened to what I had to say and explained what my surgery was going to be like. I really liked him. I would recommend him to all my friends and family.

Not necessarily Dr. Clark, who was brief but efficient -- but the whole TOC Huntsville facility in general was like an assembly line: "patient in/patient out."

Saw Dr Clark for carpal tunnel issue. He listened to me, took a couple of xrays and we settled on a surgical solution. That is taking place in less than a week.
