My first impression was that he does not hold anything back and let's you know the good and the bad.rnrnMy impression did not change. He is a total honest doctor.rnrnThe office staff was very pleasant and was eager to help with anything you needed.rnrnSo far he has proven himself a great doctor, so I have nothing I liked least about him.rnrnYou need to know that Dr. Clark will be totally honest and upfront with you before you make your big decision.rnrnHe strongly talks to you about aftercare!rnrnYes, they have a great structured aftercare program. I feel like that is my second home:)rnrnLike I said before he tells you everything about the risks and he makes sure that you completely understand them.rnrn100% rating in my bookrnrnBoth are great!

Dr. Clark is very personable. He was very informative about the surgery and the aftercare. He imphasizes the importance of aftercare. How you should concentrate on your protien and exercise to ensure success.rnThe office staff at WLSC is awesome. They really take care of you. They keep you informed and energized in the programs that they offer. I have talked to serveral people that have been patients of his. No one has anything whatsoever bad to say about him. I have recommended him to several friends and customers at my store. If you are looking for a doctor for the surgery in the Hampton Roads area, look no further, Dr. Clark is your guy.

My first impression of Dr. Clark was very good. I got the feeling like he was very experienced with the surgery and knew what he was doing. In his seminar, he's extremely helpful and makes sure to touch on every base to inform all potential patients of the advantages and disadvantages. I felt very confident in having him operate on me. I was pleased with his combined method of the vertical band and the gastric bypass. I feel that it's a very thorough method, and it definitely worked well for me. His office staff are all very informative, and I've never had a problem getting my questions answered or receiving a call back from any of the doctors or nurses. He seems personally connected with his patients, and though he has a high volume of patients that come to him, he never seems to forget a face (no matter how much it may change). I would definitely recommend any one I know that's interested in getting the surgery to him. rnrnThe only thing I had a problem digesting at his office (metaphorically of course), was the nutritionist and her aide. I saw her once, and during that session, she was not very helpful and did not really set a strict guide for what I expected to be eating throughout the rest of the year. She was nice and friendly, but I did not feel I benefitted from her advice. Whats more, is they offer a couple of programs for different prices, and you're required to purchase at least one. I don't feel like I really saw anything for the money paid for the program. I'm not even exactly sure what it was paid for, to be honest.

My first impression of Dr. Clark is that he truly cares about his patients and wants us to become healthier and happier people. He outlines all the risks and benefits and will answer any question you have. He stresses that aftercare is extremely important to our success after WLS. So far I am extremely pleased with him and the WLS program is very well organized. His office staff are friendly and professional and always there for you when you have a question or a problem. rnrnDr. Clark, is one of the BEST Surgeons. Low Complication rates, Successful patients, fantastic support team. Awesome office staff. He doesn't to Laproscopic, but he makes the timiest 3 1/2 inch incison. He's awesome. Can't recommend a better surgeon. Come to VA to have your Surgery with Dr. Clark!!!

I have a daughter who has scrubbed in with Dr. Clark and said he was methodical and ultra careful with patients. She said she would feel best if he was the one. So, I met him & agreed. I have had the surgery and questions galore and they are not just good, but kind and patient. That counts to me. And the scar is great, he under stitched! I liked the whole process.

Dr. Clark is an amazing man. He has forever changed my life for the better. I want to thank him for not only saving my life, but for giving my back my will to live. I am alive on the inside and out because of his skills, knowledge, professionalism, and caring. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Clark!!!!!!!!!

7/25/06 My husband and went to the seminar tonight and I was really pleased with the everything! We were impressed with Dr. Clark and like a lot of what he had to say and were very comfortable with the way he explained how he did things and how we went through all the details. He was positive but honest about how the surgery/s will affect people differently. I like the fact that he explained several different weight loss surgeries and their percentages; it made me more confident that I have selected the right one for me! The office staff were all very nice and knowledgeable. I hope everything from here on out goes that smooth!

'I was impressed when I met Dr. Clark in the information seminar. He was very confident and sure that his combination of RNY and VGB was the best to insure the best results. I believed him immediately. He was so great in the pre-op visit

I found Dr. Reese welcoming and comfortable; I was immediately at ease with her. It is helpful to have a professional that is so knowledgeable about this type of surgery and understands the particular issues that come with it.

I was very impressed with meeting Dr. Clark and the staff. As time gets closer to surgery I really feel I have made the right choice. The staff is helpful and very pleasant in all situatons I have been in. Dr. Clark has operated on several friends and my sister. All were successful and continue to be working as much as 7 years later. I feel given the complications of my case I will be in the best hands. Knowing this has made me more at ease. The time he has taken to evaluate me and my medical problems shows me he is a caring doctor and competent one as well. I would recommend him to anyone looking into this surgery.
