Dr. Clark isnt just the best orthopaedic Ive been to (and as a competitive athlete, Ive been to my fair share), but the best doctor in general Ive ever been to. The entire staff is friendly and personable, kind and caring, empathetic and comforting. Everyone is eager to help and they do so immediately. Ive had a lot of doctors talk over me and try to tell me what Im experiencing or what Im imagining. Dr. Clark actually listens to what youre telling him and lets you say everything before thinking and giving his diagnosis/opinion. Not to mention hes just a joy to talk to in general - hes quite the funny guy and always has a sharp haircut. I couldnt recommend them more.

I had knee replacement surgery in February of 2020. Dr. Clark is one of the most professional physicians I have ever come across. I was in the hospital for 3 days and he checked on me twice a day; even one day when he was scheduled off. When I returned home for my recovery I had to call him several times and he always promptly returned my calls. As one of the other reviewers stated, when you are in his office he makes you feel as if you are his only patient. My knee has since recovered; I am pain free and able to resume my normal activities. I would highly recommend Dr. Clark.

I went to Dr. Clark after a friend recommended seeing him for my knee issues. 1st Doctor who actually used the paper on the bed to list out my diagnosis and all treatment options. My mind was blown at this point ha ha.. He truly made me feel like I was his only patient and of course, I was not.Dr. Clarks office staff are also the best! Always friendly & helpful. In all my years, I rate Dr. Clark and his staff as A++, doesnt get any better. My only regret, not finding out about him 20 years ago.THANK YOU Dr. Clark and ALL staff :-)Doug

Dr Clark and his crew are Top Notch! When it comes time for surgery, Dr Clark gets down with professionalism and efficiency. I only hope he doesn’t retire before my next joint replacement!!!😉

I went in for a shot of cortisone in each wrist for my carpal tunnel. Dr. Clark is outstanding. He is extremely knowledgeable and made the process quick and as painless as possible. I have been to 2 other doctors for this issue and neither was as professional as Dr. Clark. He also provided me with information on a new procedure which I was unaware of that is not as invasive as the normal surgery. I will be seeing him again for sure!

My experience with Dr. Clark 6 years ago was excellent. He was courteous, made time to listen to what I had to say about my condition. I had two total knee replacements and throughout the whole procedure his kindness and knowledge was excellent. I had a complication with a blood clot and he spotted it straight away. He brought in a specialist to co-ordinate his medications with mine so no mistakes were made. I am going back 6 years later to see about my feet and hip. I have no hesitation in telling you that you can totally trust his expertise and his manner. He is a true gentleman.Pamela J SmithSeptember 7th 2014

Arrogant.... I think they teach this to all before medicine... Had a young student observing... May have influenced his behavior. Did not look at recommendation from physical therapist before concluding with his hypothesis. I am sure he is a fine surgeon, I just would have liked him to not Quickly assume without examination... Also, I did not like his reference to me wanting pills

Dr. Clark has been a Godsend to me over the last 30 years! I have gone from a broken wrist to a hip replacement with complications and I wouldnt go to anyone else! I feel he has saved my life, improved my mobility and always is very responsive to my concerns. Unfortunately he cant work forever but I am grateful he has been there for me. His staff has always been very friend, helpful and informative. Everyone is very thorough and they follow through on everything even though I now live in Guatemala. I am return yet again for another surgery soon and know that everything will be alright!

Excellent! 15 years ago Dr. Clark repaired my blown out knee. To this date I enjoy rigorous activity to include extreme mountain biking, skiing, extreme dirt bike riding and most importantly- my career as a Seattle Firefighter!I didnt give him much to work with considering my three previous knee surgeries and injuries had eaten away much of the joint. Those surgeries, performed by others, never felt stable. As a result, I was significantly contemplating what my future held as a result of that last knee injury. Truly wondering if I would be able to continue my career.Not only was I able to continue my career, the repair was so much more stable that I became comfortable pursuing all of my passions listed above. Just an absolutely excellent surgeon!Since we met, much time has past. Each of my family members and myself have seen Dr Clark for various maladies. Dr Clark is an orthopedic specialist, but his skills go well beyond being a miracle worker in the Operating Room. His approach always fits the scenario and he doesnt leave you guessing. He will tell you straight up what your options are and doesnt push for surgery, unless it is necessary. Often, he will present alternative solutions, complete with all the pros and cons specific to your individual situation (to include referring you to other excellent specialist if he thinks another could address your issue better).At my age, I am often embarrassed by whatever new trama I suffered due to my life style choices. I never hesitate to visit Dr. Clark for solutions. He gets to know patients and never makes me feel stupid or silly, often bring levity to a situation.His staff is excellent and consistent year after year. I see him at his Northgate office. His staff has been with him for years and that speaks volumes about how he treats them. They all play this mutual respect forward by maintaining a pleasant atmosphere and being excellent in their lanes! They handle insurance completley, set appointments easily (can rush you in in time sensitive situations) and maintain a spotless environment. Cathy, Jill and Debbie are top notch.In the end, Dr. Clark and staff are real people with a genuine interest in getting you healthy through the most appropriate means relating to your situation. Sooo glad to have such a great option available for my family and myself!
