Clay has experience in general orthopedics, but has focused mostly on sports medicine throughout his career. He has received training on the use of ultrasound for examination and guided procedures.
Outside of the office, Clay spends most of his time outside of work with his wife and 5 children. However, if he can steal away to the garage, he enjoys woodworking and building/repairing things.
Clay’s Patient Philosophy
“I believe that care should be the main focus of each patient interaction. I strives to take time to listen to, answer questions from, educate, and develop treatment plans with each patient.”

Very professional and informative.
Very knowledge, explains things in understandable manner.
Very Honest tells you what's the truth
Clay is fantastic. He is on time, personable, spends the time to answer any questions and makes me feel rushed. PA's often have too many patients and too little time but Clay takes the time, is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares.
He always treats me like I’m his only patient, and he’s got all the time in the world for me.
He has always had great bedside manner. He took his time. He explained everything.
He is always attentive and helpful
Clay is awesome! Excellent communication and very supportive.

Vey through with explanation and loved how he recaps all the information at the end of the appointment
