Dr. Tatyan M. Clarke

I enjoyed having Dr. Clarke as my surgeon. She let me know upfront what was expected of me and that I would be held accountable because ultimately if I wasn't ready to make changes in my lifestyle, surgery would be wasted time and money. She was friendly and professional and answered all my questions and made sure I knew EVERYTHING including all the risks if this elective surgery. I would definitely recommend her to others.

No intention of giving you weight loss surgery. String you along for a year or two until you lose the weight yourself or you give up. Worst staff too.

Poor bedside manner! Dr. Clarke does not make you comfortable to talk about your weightloss issues. She makes me feel guilty, more so than I already do for being overweight. She and her staff have no regard for the time of others. I've had 6 appointments in the last 4 months at the office in Jeane's Hospital and have been made to wait over 1.5 hrs each time. Dr. Clarke had an emergency one day and her staff requested that I come in almost 2 hours before my scheduled time. I shifted my schedule to accomodate and was still seen AFTER my originally scheduled time. Unnaceptable! Dr. Clarke and her staff promised to work with me regarding scheduling my surgery prior to the end of the year for insurance purposes. Eventhough I understand that I was late in starting the process I would have expected them to inform me if they felt that we wouldn't have enough time to schedule everything prior to having me meet my deductible and out of pocket and still scheduling a surgery in 2014! Now I have… to start ALL over again with my insurance portion. Not only that but the woman who manages the insurance claims forgot to submit my claim in time resulting in a two week delay. They didn't even have the dignity to inform me. I only found out because I called my insurance company to check the status. She dodged all of my calls and when she eventually called back, she had no apology to offer. Bottom line, they wasted all of my time and all of my savings dedicated to this surgery. Now, I can't afford to have the surgery at all and don't even have the time off work even if I could afford it. Thank you, Dr. Clarke and Jeane's Bariatric Staff. I suggest you avoid this practice at ALL COST.
