This man is the worst Dr I have ever seen. Extremely rude, condescending, very rough during examination and lacking in patient / Dr confidentiality.

Dr. F. Donald Clark has poor listening skills and lacks compassion. He always seems rushed and no time to just listen. He interrupts the patient when explaining their reason for being referred to him. He is only a general surgeon with no specialty according to his business card which leads the patient to want to explain their history of illness. In the future I will ask my family doctor to refer me to a different surgeon.

This man should not be a doctor. Our family had been referred to him a few times in the last few years for acid reflux and intestine polyps. I accompanied my family members and we left feeling terrible as he spoke down to us and made it seem like it is their fault for having these issues because of their life style. Dr. Clark was arrogant and certainly had no compassion. We left feeling like we needed to be seen by another doctor who took time to hear our family history and listened to our concerns. We have seen another doctor who is excellent and took the time to hear our concerns. It takes more than initials to be a doctor.

Dr. Donald Clark is not a good doctor. He may have initials after his name and be referred to as a Doctor but it takes more than that to be a good doctor. He is arrogant and presents himself as if he knows it all. He is a general surgeon and does not have any speciality - if referred to him be sure to research and ask questions about his surgery outcomes - your life is in his hands. He was so pathetic when my loved one was butchered by him he would tell us stories of other patients in worse shape than him - does it make sense to tell your patients spouse horrible outcomes of other surgeries he performed. BEWARE - do not put your life in his hands.

Patients beware of the lack of knowledge that Dr. Clark has regarding specialized surgeries. He resectioned a family member’s bowel as he needed to remove a cancerous lesion. The most important thing to happen within 2-5 days after surgery is passing gas. He allowed my love one to lay in bed getting sicker every day and not passing gas for 11 days. At this point he needed an emgerency surgery performed by Dr. Clark. He performed this surgery at 7pm after he had already been working 14 hours and made so many mistakes including severing the dorsal vein. This almost caused him his life and caused major organs to die in his body. We did express concern about no gas passing after day 5 but he reassured us that it would happen. It never did. Please be sure to question him if referred to him about surgery outcomes and know that he does make and will continue to make mistakes that will change your life forever.

Dr. Donald Clark is an awful surgeon especially if things do not go smoothly. He tries to cover his mistakes by standing at your bedside and looking down on you and telling you that your attitude is awful and that is why there are complications and why you are not healing. He cannot admit mistakes as he feels he can do no wrong. Also with his attitude it is difficult for a loved one to get answers to questions that need to be asked regarding surgery outcome, post op complications and infections as well as follow up treatment. Be aware when considering him to do your surgery.

Dr Clark is excellent and a surgeon that I trusted with my life and I have never regretted it. I like that he gets straight to the point, answers any and all questions and makes sure you understand what he has told you. My wait time was excellent and my care was as well, I could not have had a more caring surgeon. Does he have a temper, I believe so but all he wants is for his direction to be carried out as he has put forward. Nancy, is also very caring and is ready to answer questions, make your appointment and put you at ease. Thankful that when I needed care they were there

This man is not a doctor I would not recommend him to anyone - he is arrogant and will not admit a mistake even though it is clear he made it. He has awful bed side manners and does not treat those who work around him with respect. He made grave errors during surgery that have left my loved one with lost organs and infections that will probably never clear up.

I have been seeing Dr Clark for years, he has even opened his office on a Sunday to help the back log of patients, not many would do this. He is to the point, not wishy washy, that is a good Doctor in my book,
