I went to Dr. Clark for a 2nd opinion. He is very nice. He listens very carefully to your concerns and is very detailed in exploring all options in trying to resolve your issues. He's also very knowledgeable about issues outside of ENT. He's an awesome Dr and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
