I have been a patient of Dr. Clark's for several years now. She is one of the most caring and thorough providers I have ever seen. She is invested in treating her patients to empower them to be a part of their treatment plan. She never makes you feel like you are just another patient hurting through BSW like so many providers do today. Her bedside manner is rare for these days.
