Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.
Patient Comments
- November 20, 2022 Dr Clark is caring doctor. So thankful to have him as my doctor. He always has time to explain everything that is going on and answer my questions. Makes you feel comfortable talking to him.
- November 18, 2022 very personable doctor.
- November 18, 2022 Clancy Clark is great. I just wish Wake Forest spent more time educating patients about possible needs following surgery. I believe I should have been given the option to connect with a "whipple survivor" support group after my surgery. Knowing first hand what others have experienced would have been helpful to me.

- August 20, 2022 Dr. Clancy Clark, MD...very supportive, always on top of my situation with important council.

- July 3, 2022 I was transferred to Wake 5 years ago at the end of May, 201, after a routine surgery that went wrong at another hospital. By God’s grace, Dr. Clark was able to assess the damage that had occurred, and with the help of his surgical team, I am here today and doing well.

- May 19, 2022 Very helpful, explaining things in a way I could understand.
- May 19, 2022 From the actual testing to the surgery I will have in June, I believe I got the “best of the best” in medical care. I was actually able to see the physicians BEFORE the procedures, rather than right before I was “put under.” Both took time to explain the procedures, what each would be looking for and recovery. Amazingly, both touched me, very uncommon in the day of virtual and impersonal care. Medicine has changed tremendously in my 74 years, some things very positive with new discoveries, techniques and medications. In general, bedside manner has lapsed, but not with any of the “my” caregivers at Atrium Wake Forest.

- April 8, 2022 I can only give my input for the time spent during my consultation. I have yet to have surgery. The surgery outcome would determine my evaluation more accurately. During the consultation, Dr. Clark was focused on me. He was clear. He was assertive with his PA to get my complete records and diagnosis from my MD that day.
