I have needed a rheumatologist in the past and I needed one again. I was recommended by my GP to go to this group, and they scheduled me with Dr. Clarkson. She is amazing! She knew exactly what I was talking about in my current treatment, and she knew more about it than I did. She examined me thoroughly, took a couple of x-rays right there in their practice (on 816 A Greenbrier Circle), then was able to discuss a suggested course of treatment right there on my first visit. She asked questions, listened to the answers, and we were able to agree to everything before I left. If you are facing any type of arthritis problem, give Dr. Clarkson a chance to work with you. You will be happy you did!

I came to Dr. Clarkson after my Dr. left the area. I was really sorry to have to find a new Dr. Dr. Clarkson was highly recommended. I have been very pleased with her and find her to be very personable . She takes her time with me and doesn't seem to be rushing me out of the office.

My regular doctor (DENIO) left the practice I was switched to Clarkson. She never listened to me, was always rushed. Her response was always that is what I give all my patients. Tried to switch to another doctor but practice has a 2 year wait before you can you can switch. So, I had to find another practice (for 2 years). I had been with the center for arthrits for 20 years! I'm really disappointed but on the upside I like my new doctor.

I have had only 3 appointments, Dr. Clarkson is very nice, but she doesn't do a physical exam of joints. I don't know how she can tell the state of the disease without manipulating the joints at every appointment. She says "come in if you have a flair up" I really feel frustrated.

I do not recommend this doctor. First time patient.She never looked at my records and notes from my intern.She knew nothing about my problem or history.In two ( 2 )visits she still had not know any prior history. Her staff that welcomed me was rude and "curt " and so was the Doctor. I will see someone else. She clearly is not able to handle the amount of patients she may have.
