Alexander M. Clark, Jr., MD

Two members of my family have seen Dr. Clark now...one a child, one an adult. Both were treated kindly, respectfully and with the upmost professionalism...he REALLY knows his stuff, but has a warm, terrific manner at the same time. His staff is responsive and kind as well. Our experience has been top notch across the board - our family highly recommends Dr. Clark, especially with sports injuries. None better.

Dr. Clark personable and professional and is very good in explaining what the health issue is. We appreciate that he is not eager to recommend surgery. His advise on allowing healing to correct a knee problem has been comforting. If surgery becomes necessary we would choose him as our surgeon.

I went to Dr. Clark because of a painful and restricted right shoulder. He was calm, clear and realistic about my rotator cuff tear and arthritis . He recommended PT for 6 weeks and gave me a cortisone shot-both of which helped manage my symptoms . Eventually I may require a shoulder replacement but so far, so good.

I agree with the people saying this doctor's office is in it for a money grab. A year ago I injured the pinky finger on my left hand, and it healed wrong so that it's crooked and still tender. My first visit to Dr. Clark's office, the intern had me get x-rays, even though I already had x-rays from a previous doctor. She said she couldn't tell me much, and that I need to get an MRI and follow-up appointment with Dr. Clark. I've never heard of getting an MRI for your finger, but figured doctor knows best....

A few weeks later I get there for my follow-up appointment, and am told that the MRI will be $1,200, even after insurance. Wow. Well, I was already there, and seriously debated just walking out, but I handed over my credit card.

At the follow-up appointment, Dr. Clark showed me the x-rays that had been taken last time, and said what he thought was wrong with my finger, and that he couldn't do anything about it. He referred me to a hand and finger specialist. I asked him what the MRIs were telling him, and he said "not much." The radiologist hadn't analyzed them yet, and he didn't see anything relevant in the MRI images. So I had literally just paid $1.2k for just for the MRI for nothing.

Huge waste of time and money. They should have looked at the x-ray images I already had, then immediately referred me to the hand and finger specialist. Instead, I'll be paying my entire insurance deductible of $1,600 to them... I am fortunate that I have insurance and have enough saved up that this won't put me in debt, but I'm not rich. I don't want to drop that kind of money for nothing.

The reason for 2 stars instead of 1 is that I think with more standard injuries, Dr. Clark probably does know what he's doing. I met a woman in the waiting room who had broke her arm, and she said he'd operated on her ankle before, and done a good job.

I was not happy with the office visit from Dr. Clark. After pulling a muscle in my arm, I went in for an office visit. Immediately the staff had me have an x-ray before any form of examination - which is very bizarre and an easy profit grab from the insurance company.
After nothing appeared on the x-ray (obviously), Dr. Clark saw me for a few minutes, didn’t touch my arm whatsoever for examination, and only asked a few questions.
He did not come up with any real explanation of injury, or solutions/ways to help the recovery - nothing that couldn’t be found on YouTube.
I canceled the follow-up visit and have found much more valuable information elsewhere.
Not recommended.

I was very disappointed with my visit. After 3 weeks dealing with a pinched nerve and no feeling along the outside of my hand, the best this guy could come up with is these things happen, it will resolve on its own. I was never even examined, all he did was review an xray from the referring doctor. I consider Dr. Clark a thief of both my time and money. Avoid this charlatan if you can.
