Clear communication easy to communicate with
good guy
Very good experience
Clayton was very professional yet very down to earth. Very easy to talk to and answered ALL of my pre surgical questions. I’m glad he’s going to be there assisting in my surgery.
Caring, gives clear and concise information and best next steps.
Very friendly and professional.
Explained fully X-ray results and his exam. Presented options and pros and cons. Did order PT on the wrong arm but corrected when I noticed it on form.
Clayton gets right to the point and clarified everything to me for my upcoming surgery. He already knew my past history, which means he prepped before coming in to talk with me. I appreciate his candor and efficiency.
Friendly and very professional.
I felt like he REALLY listened to me - the circumstances of my injury and my concerns for treatment and recovery. He made sensible suggestions, which I accepted. It was a great visit.
