Whalen Clark, M.D., Tampa FL

Dr Clark is a great surgeon. My quality of life improved 100% after having Nissen Fundoplication surgery and a small hiatal hernia repair. No beating around the bush with him. The best thing I did was to stop reading about gerd on the internet and had the consult with Dr Clark to see what was possible. Even my children can’t believe how much better I am. I am so grateful.

I highly recommend Dr. Clark for general surgery needs. I visited the office in Brandon and each visit I had was on time and efficient. I haven’t had much luck with medical offices in the past, so it was very refreshing to have on time appointments and not sit around for hours at a time. Surgery went very well and I can’t recommend him and his staff enough.

I had hernia surgery in 2021. Dr. Clark found out I had other things going on inside me. He repaired what was damaged, and removed what didn’t belong. He had the two lumps tested. Thankfully they were benign. The office staff was friendly, professional and always super nice. Thank you Porsha for making sure my Short Term Disability Paperwork was always current and correct.

After being diagnosed with gallstones, I postponed my gallbladder surgery for 8 years. I never really had symptoms if I behaved but was concerned that my gallbladder rendered solid white on my X-rays. I decided to explore surgery and had a consultation with Dr. Clark. He explained things in a way I clearly understood and did not pressure me at all. He made me feel comfortable about losing an organ.

I decided to go through with the surgery. My only regret is that Dr. Clark is not a primary care doctor. I would choose him in a heartbeat! Good doctors are very hard to find. Rest assured if you are in his care, you will be in very good hands. Overall a great experience, a great staff and great doctor. I highly recommend!

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

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.
