The Medical Assistant (Ashlyn) who responded to my messages in MyChart, helped me schedule an appointment, and checked me in, was compassionate and efficient. Dr. Clarke was careful, efficient, and clear.

Doctor was very short in speaking to me about my problem. Showed me my x-rays on a tablet and scrolled through them quickly so I couldn't see them clearly and then he just walked out of the room saying his nurse would come in. Never saw him again.
