Dr Clarke was very clear at explaining both the procedures my young son was having, putting both me and him at ease. He came back to check on us after the procedure and I felt very reassured. Both procedures went extremely well.

We had the best possible experience with Dr Clarke for our daughter's hernia surgery. Dr Clarke is very friendly, answered all our questions, and the surgery went smoothly. The scar is barely noticeable. We highly recommend him!
