Kari Clark's Online Review Report Card

I would trust her Anytime, any where. I had emergency surgery after a Stent stopped working. She fixed that problem. And saw several problems with the other side of my heart. Those will be repaired in time. She explained what was going on, with an explanation of both right side and left side heart function. And did it all in a pleasing and agreeable way.

Dr. Clark is fantastic. I was very worried, upset and afraid at my first visit several years ago. I am a retired RN and needed a cardiacevaluation. She scheduled a diagnostic procedure in the hospital, patiently explained what to expect and talked me thru my fears. All went very well. I have not needed her since, but have referred friends and would highly recommend her diagnostic skills and her care.

Excellent. This doctor performed a cardiac catheterization for me recently. She is highly skilled, very personable, and professional.

A superlative interventional cardiologist and surgeon. Dr. Clark is caring and personable. Her skills are without reproach. She knows what she is doing and exercises a high degree of care for her patients. You will not find a better doctor to treat your heart conditions with the latest and most appropriate procedures. She is among the best in her field.

My experience with Dr. Clark was excellent. It was refreshing to have a Doctor actually take the time to explain both the procedure and results in a manor that I could understand and at a speed that I could comprehend. The cardiac catheterization was done flawlessly with no pain at all. Can't say enough good things about this Doctor.

I recently had a cardiac catheterization. For some reason Dr. Clark was substituted for the doctor that was supposed to do the procedure. I was very nervous and half asleep when I left for the hospital. I accidentally left my hearing aids at home. I can hear without them, but it’s hard when someone has a mask on. I had no trouble with the nurses at Cleveland clinic, but Dr. Clark was another issue. She scolded me like a child. Told me I was forcing her to scream and she didn’t like it. She then proceeded to scream her explanation about procedure even when I reassured her that screaming was unnecessary. No one else in the hospital had to scream at me to be heard. She was just being dramatic and rude. Made me feel terrible and even more scared than I all ready was. I definitely would not recommend her. She may be a good doctor, but shows no compassion for her patients.

Dr. Clark is the best. She takes time to listen and answer questions. She not only helps with my high blood pressure but my thyroid problems. I would recommend her any day. She does not rush one out of the office. She shows genuine concern for her patients. I would rate her 5 plus stars.

I have never, seriously never, did an online review. Therefore if this does not show up at all or all 7 times I tried to post it you will know why. I am not computer savvy. When I want to express my opinion to someone or place I either call or if it is to compliment I also write out a note of gratitude. I’m old and old fashioned. But I had to reply to the 9/13/21 review. It upsets me that based on one experience, one can say anything just cause they can. It’s an easy in the moment reaction. I understand that this may have been a serious situation. But it is not ok although our society now tells us everything goes, to do the wrong thing at the wrong time. In my opinion a cowardly way to quickly get an immediate sense of satisfaction. My story. My rebuttal…… Dr Clark attempted to perform a cardiac cath on my husband a while back. She came out of the procedure in moments and said he had a severe heart condition and needed open heart surgery as soon as possible. He had the 5 bypass surgery and as of today he is stable I say with gratitude. Just a side note, another cardiologist said there was nothing pressing to be done with his heart just one week prior when I called 911 and he was admitted. She saved his life as far as I’m concerned. Since then my husband has had many follow up appointments with Dr. Clark. Each time she is encouraging and informative. She is smart professional and compassionate. She listens. She is “Present “ she is not on a computer while you are talking. She does not talk over you. She understands. She explains the answers to your questions. Dr Clark is also a D.O. Meaning she is not only a heart doctor, she has an additional degree on how to treat the whole body and how each component of our bodies can affect another. An example. My husbands left leg was sore and red and hard after his surgery. She took the time to explain why and showed us how to massage it properly. I also have established as a patient with Dr Clark. She recommended and performed a cath procedure on me. Fortunately all was well. But at the time I was nervous. She encouraged me before the procedure and spoke to me while I was getting the anesthesia. She was calming and reassuring. Afterwards in gratitude I took her hand and she squeezed it. Little things are huge when you are in the moment. It is sad that we live in a world that No one cares enough to take time to Address issues appropriately. Much easier to take moments and say things that can potentially destroy a persons or places reputation. I guess that’s the hope in the 9/13/21 review. A very child like reaction to get their point across without considering the possibility that they may not be entirely correct. I can only hope my words about Dr Clark will be considered based on my many interactions with her. I speak from the “heart” about a heart doctor who deserves credit And recognition. Dr Clark is a gem!

She left my husband and I traumatized, after he suffered a massive cardiac arrest. After signing several authorizations to provide me with the right to make medical decisions for my critically ill husband, I was uncomfortable using Dr Clark's services due to the poor experience I had with her cardiac group. She then LIED to my husband, while he was on the ER, advising him that I "refused to make any medical decisions on his behalf". When I called her a liar, rather than admit to her mistake, she called security on me, leaving my critically ill husband in tears. We were so traumatized by this crack pot, we demanded to be transferred to another hospital, which we were able to do. The stress she caused us during the darkest days of our lives will take years to overcome. In my opinion, she needs to have her license suspended for lying and breaking the law, by retaliating against me --calling security and failing to honor my rights to decide on his medical care. Epic Failure.

My family had a traumatic experience with this woman. My spouse had a cardiac arrest, and she made a bad situation worse by lying to family members, pitting spouse against spouse, during a critical time.I will never forget what she put us through. It was cruel and demented. Failing grade.
