Dr. Clark was the best, he answer all my questions so I could understand and was so nice to be around and he was so patient with me.

My experience with Dr. Clark and his staff is two-fold. Dr. Clark is excellent and I would use him again anytime and recommend him heartily. However, though his staff is cordial and friendly, they are nearly completely inept. They cannot keep their records together, send out information necessary for your care, or keep track of insurance information and developments. As people, they seem nice enough, but as office staff, they sort of give the impression that they are all temps, all of the time. The aftercare is non-existent if you do not live in Indianapolis and have all the time in the world to meet with different groups. I do not know about the St. Francis group, I went to Community. The worst thing is that once you have this surgery (for me it was the lap band) you are linked to this group forever whenever you have any stomach problems. It's been two years and I have lost approximately 60 pounds. Most of that was due to an unrelated illness for which I was hospitalized. You really have to do it on your own. If I could have done that I wouldn't have had the surgery at all.

Dr. Clark and the whole staff at the St. Francis Weightloss Center are all amazing. The staff are extremely understanding and treat you without judgement.

Dr. Clark is very easy to talk to. He help me overcome my nervousness days even minutes before the surgery. He was nice and pleasent to my family as they waited for the surgery to get done.

First impression, professional, nice, caring, and a bit of a wise-guy. I knew this is the doctor I wanted to work with.

Second, the staff. I'm a self-pay patient. I've talked to several other centers, most just wanted my cash and take a number. Misty in the office is a complete rock star. Went from "Do you guys do the RNY?" to surgery date in nine weeks. Nine weeks.

Now, the bad? They do leave a lot to you. So if you want someone to hold your hand, they seem like they can but I think you will work better with the surgeon and the group if you are mentally ready (not, oh I'd like to get it....more like can we do it this week)? If you can take care of yourself, you will do great with this surgeon and the group.

Surgery is 7/21/10. Can't wait!

I first me Dr.Clark in October. HE WAS GREAT. He was friendly and direct, very personal and just seemed to have genuine concern for his patient's well being. After meeting with him one on one I felt that he would be the perfect doctor to do my surgery. Not only is he nice but his whole team with St. Francis Bariatrics was nice too. Dr. Clark gave me the choice of what Band I wanted, the LapBand or Realize band. During the surgery Dr. Clark also repaired a Hernia that he found (I didn't even know that I had one.)rnrnOn a scale of 1-10, I definitly give Dr. Clark a 10. Very professional and extremely nice.

At this point, I have no words to describe how dissapointed I am at the lack of after care, the lack of returned calls, and the whole post-op experience period. If I knew this was what I would have to face, I would have NEVER had the surgery.

I greatly appreciate his honesty. My surgery was running very late and all the nurses kept saying things came up in his previous surgeries, he had an emergency come up, etc. but when he came in to see me before the surgery he was honest and apologized for oversleeping and that had set his whole schedule behind.

He has been honest like this throughout the entire process and even apologize to me today for doing something in my prcedure that has caused me some additional pain.

I will use hime again for any surgery and will recommend him to anyone who will listen!

I have only met him once, but he is a really nice person. I felt very comfortable talking to him. He was very informative about the surgery. I will post more when my surgery is over.
