C. Whalen Clark's Online Review Report Card

Very professional, down to earth, and very knowledgeable in subject area. Surgery went well. Couldn’t be happier with him and his staff.

I had an inguinal hernia that was a real "pain in the gut" and I finally located Dr. Clark who listed hernia repair under his specialties. I went to see him, we reviewed my scans and he suspected an older, smaller 2nd one was also present (It was). He went over the outpatient procedures with me, answered my questions and we scheduled surgery. Went in at 9AM and woke in recovery at 2PM. Everything has proceeded very well since surgery and it's just a matter of taking things easy for recovery (I'm 77). He answered the questions I asked, had an excellent rapport during my prelim exam and a superb operating team working with him when it was time to get it fixed and repaired both hernias. Cosmetically, you can hardly tell anything was done after a month of healing. I have NO hesitation in recommending him if you need a hernia repair. Excellent doctor !

Dr Clark is one of the best gastrointestinal surgeons you will find. We live in Lakeland and were given his name from another surgeon located in Lakeland. My wife had a Giant para esophageal hernia that was 90% herniated.. We were very concerned about this surgery because of complications that might be involved from a cancer surgery performed the previous year. We were also concerned because of her age (70) and her frailty. He was able to perform the surgery robotically and it was a great success. She was only in the hospital 2 days. She is now getting back to normal and feeling much better. We are very grateful to Dr Clark and his team for the great work they did. It was well worth the drive from Lakeland to get such outstanding treatment and care.

Dr. Clark removed my gallbladder, same day surgery. I would recommend him in a minute. Surgery & recovery went well. He, and his office staff were very personable, and professional. He even came on to see me before the surgery, to see if I had any questions. My surgery was 2 weeks ago, and I am feeling great! Been eating any thing I want. Thank you Dr Clark.

Dr. Whalen Clark, Jessica and his staff are excellent! My case was extreamly complex surgery, which had an amazing outcome!!!

very grateful and happy with DR clark, he performed a nissen fundupiculture and hiatal hernia repair which I feel very good and the super fast recovery after 10 days was very normal, I want to thank all the surgery team and especially doctor clark

This was my first surgery besides having my wisdom teeth removed when I was in high school. Dr. Clark and staff (thanks Jessica and Cindy!) took excellent care of me before, during, and after. The surgery (laparoscopic hernia) was done on time as scheduled. The recovery was a piece of cake and three days later, pain wise, I was barely even conscious that anything had been done to me. Dr. Clark's technique and bedside manner made the whole thing so very easy. Also, a big shout out to the nurses in the recovery ward at HCA South Tampa. They told me he was the best of the best and I can't help but agree. THANKS TO ALL!

This dr has changed my life, so professional and nice.

I was extremely apprehensive to undergo my first surgery since I had my tonsils out at age six. Dr. Clark came highly recommended and lived up to his reputation. The robotic surgery he performed (along with his excellent and caring nurse, Jessica Hutchins) went very smoothly with minimal scarring and post operative pain. The narcotic pain medication they prescribed went untouched, all I needed was over the counter analgesics for a few days. I had the surgery two days before Christmas and was fully back to work after New Year’s Day.

Great experience!! Had robotic dbl hernia surgery at the hospital.No need for the pain meds I picked up prior to surgery. Just took Tylenol! Highly recommend this skilled surgeon!! Great honest profession!! Thanks Dr. Clark!
