Go to Mary Clifton looking for a friendly face, NOT a competent doctor. She frequently prescribes meds to my family including antidepressants, narcotics and antibiotics in incorrect dosages, excessive and dangerous quantities, and without any proper follow-up care. Her prescribing style is unprofessional and careless. When I go to her office I must be my own doctor, researching drug safety and dosages on my own to assure my basic well being. What's more, she frequently prescribes new, highly advertised, expensive drugs. As a patient who pays out of pocket for meds, I can't handle this. It also concerns me that new medications have less of a safety record than older, time-tested drugs- many new drugs are recalled as patients suffer unexpected and sometimes devastating consequences. Knowing this, why is Mary Clifton regularly prescribing brand new drugs to her patients? It may be because she has been (may still be?) employed by Eli Lilly as a spokes-doctor/"researcher". Unbelievable.
