Blake C Clifton's Online Review Report Card

I had knee replacement. 15 months post op my knee is still swollen as big as the week after surgery. He kept saying give it more time. Then he admitted he doesn’t know why this is happening. And to get a second opinion. Well I did. I went to dr Beim in Gunnison co. She asked me if he aspirated the knee. I said no. She said what??!! So she took a large seringe And took a large amount of yellow/ orange fluid from my knee to check for infection. I will finally get some answers. Dr Beim will not give up!! I have 4 other friends who has used dr Clifton. They have not received the best of care either. Stay away!!!!

Full hip replacement op in early March 2021 with Dr Clifton. It was great having such an amazing surgery performed by a fabulous local Dr with no travel outside of the valley like so many people do?! I had an amazing experience through gO and Dr Clifton. Riding single track on my mt bike 30 days after surgery with no pain! Thank you.

Our son had to have emergency surgery due to a wrist fracture. Dr. Clifton and the entire staff of Gunnison Valley Hospital were excellent to work with. They explained things well prior to the surgery, were very communicative during the process and awesome during recovery. Dr. Clifton's medical expertise resulted in a wonderful result for our son. These situations are often very uncomfortable for parents, and they all made our experience very pleasant. Tia Koch

I had a total right hip replacement on May 14, 2019. I cannot be more pleased with my results. Also Dr. Clifton and his staff were amazing. They answered any and all questions throughly. I would highly recommend Dr. Clifton for any orthopedic procedure. Thank you DR. Clifton and staff.

Took a bad fall on the slopes and ended up with a tibial plateau fracture. Dr Clifton was caring, informative and thorough. Surgery went well, now on to recovery!

Wonderful Doctor, kind compassionate explained everything before my surgery and the outcomes afterwards. I feel great and can walk again without constant pain.

Dr. Clifton is one amazing doctor. He did a hip replacement for me. I was using a walker, I would fall down because my hip would give out, my hip would lock up where I couldn't move. I was like that for almost 7 yrs until I saw Dr. Clifton. I am now at 6 month post surgery. walking without a walker and enjoying my life again. Thank you so much Dr. Clifton

Dr. Clifton is always there to ask about the concerns I have. He is great at listening and makes you feel like the only person on earth when he is listening to you. I highly recommend him for anyone who likes a doctor who is a good listener and who is good at their job. He is in it to help people, not for the money.

I had knee surgery on 5-9 and beforehand?, Dr Clifton listened to all of or questions and answered them. He returns calls quickly after I ha surgery and I got to talk to him. And he right away asked how I was doing. I will definitely recommend him to anyone.

I have had total knee replacement on both knees within the last 7 months. I had not realized what major surgeries these were, but can report that my recoveries and healing have been amazing. Dr. Clifton pays such close attention to details such as the pre-operative instructions,his insistence upon physical therapy to begin within a week of surgery and his honest answers to all my questions (there were many). He very patiently answered every one and ended my apprehensions.
