Dr. Clarkson and his office staff are all fantastic and I highly recommend choosing Dr. C if you have cubical tunnel syndrome. From the initial visit, to surgery, and finally physical therapy after, I have zero complaints. I choseShow more the in-office procedure with VR over the hospital, and I plan to do it again for my other arm. Dr. C also has an excellent bedside manner, and we had a nice conversation while he performed my surgery. Five stars all around!!

I am so very impressed with the courtesy,compassion and kindness of everyone associated with this physician. Whenever I shared with other Dr.'s that I go to for the various physical dificulties I have that Dr. Clarkston would be doing my surgery, the reaction was,"He's the very best. You're in good hands"! I feel that I am in the best care available!
