He has helped with my hip and I feel great after 3 years post surgery, so now I’m back to see about my knee!

Dr. Clarke is great! Helped me start living pain free after a total hip replacement. He is kind, supportive and explains things in a way that makes sense.

I have nothing but positives in reviewing Dr. Clarke. He did a total hip replacement on me after trying more conservative measures. Nine months post-op, I have my life back.

Dr Clarke did my bi-lateral hip replacement surgery in 2018. I am extremely grateful for all he has done for me. Having gone to the Orthopedic doctors in Rochester, NY, only to be told I was too young for hip replacement and too old for hip repair. Dr Clarke said the only thing that would help me was hip replacement. He is the type of doctor where the quality of life means more than how long hardware will last. It's because of him that I have my life back.

I chose doctor Clarke because he is one of the most experienced orthopedic surgeons I know. I am also a tough critic and don't trust many doctors. He is very knowledgeable and good at what he does.

Dr. Clarke replaced both my hips, I have forgotten when and where and am only reminded it was done when I get a questionnaire about the results. That means the surgery was as close to perfection as possible and I recommend Dr. Clarke to everyone I meet who is contemplating hip replacement. or appears to have hip problems.

Very knowledgeable with an excellent dr to patient rapport. Very straight forward, non condescending and cheery. He assessed my condition and gave me alternatives on my first visit. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. He is a perfect balance for a nice dr visit!

I'm a pretty tough critic, but he was exceptional. After 2 years of pain and diminished lifestyle I'm looking forward to getting back to my active life and running again. I can't say thank you enough.

My first hip replacement with Dr Clark was in 2005. He took me as a patient after another well known hip surgeon would not perform surgery without me having significant weight loss first. My quality of life was suffering due to the pain. I was recommended to Dr Clark and he confidently told me he COULD do the surgery. My other hip replacement was done several years later. Excellent doctor, no problems at all! Would and have recommended Dr Clark to everyone! Great Doctor

I had a total hip replacement surgery on April 19, 2017. Dr. Clarke is excellent! He takes his time talking to you about the surgery. He did an excellent job on my surgery. I was home the next day ! I would highly recommend Dr. Clarke to anyone. If I need my other hip done, I will go back to Dr. Clarke.

My experience was excellent with Dr Clarke and his staff. From the time my insurance kicked in1/1/2017 the wait time was nothing to get my resurfacing surgery completed which was on 1/25/2017. I like how he was straight to the point and let's get this done attitude. I did my research and knew he would do the best option for me (I was pushing for BHR surgery).It took him only a half hour or less to complete the procedure and let me tell you this Dr. knows what he's doing.top notch surgeon.

Would definitely recommend him. He is a straight forward shooter - talks in terms a lay person understands and dictates his diagnosis and actions taken / to be taken right in front of you. Wish more doctors acted like he did. Surgery date is in the future and if initial meeting is anything like surgery, I am confident that I'm in good hands.

My wife and I found Dr. Clarke charming, thorough and happily relatively conservative in his approach to my concerns. I thought I would need a knee replacement but he resolved my problem for now with recommendations other than that.

Brilliant surgeon. I wouldn't consider any other hip surgeon. A bit brusque but much more patient-friendly than a few years ago.

During the last 6 monthsI have received excellent care by Dr Clarke and Mary Scozzari RPA. They have both explained any questions I had about hip replacement surgery. The surgery was explained and performed successfully. I would recommend Dr Clarke to others.

Dr. Clarke diagnosed my problem within five minutes after three other orthopedic Drs could not. I recommend him to anyone I meet who has orthopedic issues.
