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.”
painless and quick
Clay Shorter, PA was very knowledgeable and helped my husband tremendously. After the x-rays on his shoulder and the exam he explain everything and gave my husband option on how to go forward with a treatment plan.
Clay was caring and explained what I can expect and do at appointment a week after surgery. I also had leave of absence paperwork that needed to be filled out and signed by my 4 week appointment as I was returning to work on light duty in a month. He explained what I could do with my arm and what I couldnt. I was happy with his kindness and explaining things so In didnt do anything I shouldnt.
Very professional and understanding of patient needs.
Clay is such a kind, caring, knowledgeable and gentle provider. The shots on my knees usually last around 6 months or more. I trust his advice and highly recommend him to anyone in need of orthopedic care.
Great PA. Very professional and knowledgeable.
