Dr.Clark is\was? a great Foot\Ankle surgeon. I was fortunate enough to have been referred to him by my Knee replacement surgeon Dr.Steven Copp. Dr.Clark diagnosed my issue and as surgery was the only option, he let me know what the procedure would be, the recovery time and my care. He is very friendly, and put me at ease during the procedure as I was awake for it. Would highly recommend Dr.Clark and Scripps to any family member. Was? - I called his office for another issue and sadly was informed Dr.Clark retired. I'm glad for him. read more

I have been in pain since he operated my feet. "you'll be in flip flops and walking in a couple of weeks". What he called a simple procedure turn out more complicated . "I found more bone than expected" ???? Now my right toe is 1/3" shorter and and my left 1/2" shorter. Did he even have the right implants? I have been in pain for 5 1/2 years every step is painful. It has affected my ankles and my knees. Do not believe him read more

Gregory D Clark, DPM - Podiatrists Near Me - La Jolla, California

I have been a patient of Dr. Clark for about 2 yrs now and I saw him on a recommendation from my primary Dr. Dr. Joyce Ildesa in Santee, CA recommended him to me and I was fantastic. She's also fantastic, so I know I have a great team looking out for me. Anyway, Dr. Clark looked at my 75yr old feet and realized that as a diabetic I needed special shoes. He poked and gently twisted my feet and toes to see what was going on with them. I felt NO pain or anything like that so that was great for me. I am a big baby when it comes to needles and/or pain. I would recommend Dr. Clark for anyone who needs to see a foot doctor for any reason in the San Diego county area. I am more than happy with my results and also happy to recommend him. read more

Dr Clark has been our podiatrist for almost 20 years. He has a great manner about him with the right touch of humor to go along with his professional experience. His explanations are clear and understandable. He listens, and he takes the time to answer questions. read more

Both of my feet had a problem. My left foot had a toe that was getting overly friendly with it's neighboring toe and my right foot had a bone spur on a toe that was rubbing and causing a painful callous. I call it "toe-liosis". Dr Clark fixed both problems under local in his Rancho Bernardo office. No more pain!! Both his Torrey Pines and Rancho Bernardo offices are staffed with friendly helpful people. A shout-out to Gail in the RB office who assisted during the procedure. I highly recommend Dr Clark! read more

My first podiatrist screwed up what should have been a routine surgery to remove my bunion. I came to Dr Clark as he seemed much more knowledgeable and I trusted him to correct it. He made it 10 X worse. Now my arch is collapsed and I can't find a pair of shoes I can wear for more than 20minutes. I am now looking for a third doctor. I have to do something! I so wish I had never met Dr Clark. read more

I recently had a double bunionectomy with additional procedures to remove a bone spur and a ganglion cyst. I spent a significant amount of time researching Podiatrists in San Diego; Dr. Clark was consistently highlighted as one of the best. I'm an athlete and performing musician (typically moving frequently on stage wearing heels). I also have a high energy puppy that requires a lot of activity. I wanted the best results and experience...Needless to say, I wanted the best surgeon. I found him. Dr. Clark exceeded my hopes and expectations. He is a leading expert, educator, and surgeon with a strong sensitivity towards the needs of his patients. He has a wonderful sense of humor and took his time answering all my questions. His entire team held the same high value for excellence and I could not be happier with Dr. Clark or my outcome. I'm less then two weeks Post-Op and healing wonderfully. I trust and respect Dr. Clark and know that I made the right choice. I am grateful for the active life afforded to me ahead as a result of his kindness, professionalism, attention to detail, and high-level expertise. read more

Gregory D Clark, DPM - Podiatrists Near Me - La Jolla, California

Dr. Clark is truly the BEST. Around ten years ago, I had a bunionectomy done from a podiatrist in Mission Hills (forgot his name). It was such a painful process and experience. I needed my other foot done but I put it off for as long as I could because of the bad experience I had with my first bunionectomy. I did A LOT of research and Dr. Clark had glowing reviews. I decided to give him a shot. If I had known how little pain I'd have from Dr. Clark's surgery, I'd have done my second foot ten years ago! I was expecting the worst but praying for the best. Dr. Clark answered my prayers because it was a much easier time this go around! The first surgery, the surgeon had put a big screw in my foot that stuck OUT of my foot (for 4 - 6 weeks). Dr. Clark said he doesn't even do it that way - he uses a pin that is internal and much smaller. Post-surgery, he has this machine you hook your big toe on every day that stretches it so you don't lose mobility. On my other foot, I can't move my toe very well (I didn't have this machine the first time). I give Dr. Clark my highest praises. He's THAT good. read more

This man really screwed up my life. He said, "It's a simple surgery. Some people elect to have it done and get it over with." He failed to inform me that the recovery time is 18 weeks! I later learned that you wont wear a shoe for 6 months! His jovial tone and misguiding words caused me to take my recovery process much less seriously. I could have nipped this in the bud if he would have have said, "Phil, if you don't take strict care of this it could lead to surgery and a 6- MONTH recovery." But no, he said "simple surgery" leading me to think it was no big deal. Now I have a chronic condition and a compromised lifestyle doing my best to avoid Achilles tendon surgery and a 6-month recovery - at 67 years old, 6-months of inactivity is a big deal. THIS MAN DAMAGED ME BIG TIME by his misleading words and what he failed to say. Shame on you Gregory Clark. Shame on you. read more

Very Professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. Rare asset these days. I hope you never need him, but if you do, he is the one to see. Thank you read more

He does not pay attention to patients and misdiagnosed 2 times, Terrible doctor read more

If you're having a problem with your foundation/your feet, your whole structure is in trouble. Dr. Clark is the solution to your problem! My plantar facieitus had me sidelined in a chair, getting fat and out of shape. Several other professionals had tried to help, to no avail. The pain just ruined my life. Dr. Clark was able to cure the problem so completely that I haven't had any problems in over 4 years now! This week my foot has a new problem so I called to make an appointment; not only was Laura helpful and cheerful, she made an appointment for me within a week! I'll be walking comfortably again shortly! read more

The very very best!!!! It's 2 years since my hammer toe and bunion surgery ...and my foot couldn't be more perfect. The recovery was lengthy...and the rehab was daily for months BUT I have full use of my toes both up and down. I am a Pilates junky and can do everything. I also spin and hike. I wear high heals and have zero discomfort! I interviewed 4 doctors before making my final decision and loved Dr Clark!!! read more

Dr. Clark fixed my ingrown toenail yesterday and I have had zero pain! He was nice, explained my choices, and has a great sense of humor. He numbed my toe, first putting on a cold spray before giving me injections, then cut the side of my toenail off. I felt nothing but pressure. He wrapped my toe then put my shoe on for me! Most docs just leave you right after the procedure to fend for yourself! He gave clear instructions about aftercare and prescribed antibiotic drops which were originally developed for ear infections but were found to work perfectly for stopping toe surgery infections and pain. I have literally felt no pain and it's been almost 24 hours. I feel so much better than when I suffered with the ingrown nail which hurt even from the sheets laying on it. Walking around, showering, sleeping - all without any pain. I can't recommend Dr. Clark highly enough. read more

I had severe plantar fasciitis and after 5 months, 2 cortisone shots, ice, stretching, rest and custom orthotics nothing worked to heal it so i decided on surgery to cut the tissue. I am a hiking guide and my feet are my work. Dr. Clark did a quick, painless surgery with just a local painkiller. This kept the cost down and was quicker and less hazardous. I was in a wheel chair for 1 week, then just had to be gentle with it. We went to Israel 5 weeks after the surgery and I walked 9 miles one day with some discomfort. Two and a half months after the surgery and I feel no pain in my feet even after hiking 6 miles! I highly recommend Dr. Clark! read more

Dr. Clark is AWESOME! I have been to several podiatrists, none of whom were able to properly treat my condition. He performed foot joint replacement surgery a few months ago and I am as good as new. I highly recommend him. read more

He canceled on me twice. The first time around his schedulers told me he was going to be out of town. The second time around his schedulers told me he was going to be out of town as well, but I had made an appointment for my husband on the same day as mine and they didn't cancel my husband's appointment. When I asked why my husband's appointment wasn't canceled if the doctor was going to be out of town, his scheduler Laura said he really wasn't going to be out of town, he had just scheduled a minor procedure on my appointment time. This was the second time they pulled something like this. They didn't offer to see another doctor to make up for the disrespect. I guess this doctor thinks his time is much more important than his patients' time. So irresponsible, untrustworthy and undependable. On top of it, Laura made it sound as if it was my fault for not having picked a different time initially! I'm not going to put my health in the hands of such an irresponsible doctor. read more

Amazing physician. My bunionectomy was so much easier than I had expected so much so that I will have the other foot done without reservation. Don't settle for anyone else. read more

Podiatrist Clark ruined my life after poor surgery and post op judgement claiming the foot was healed-then broke, failing to advise a solution, saying it would heal which lead to a non-union. I had to seek out a top orthopedic foot MD to attempt to repair Clark's mistake-twice now!. I have had to spend many thousands out of pocket and with insurance to repair his damages. Orthotics, special shoes, plate and screws in my foot, etc. -just to walk. I have endured chronic pain, surgeries, burden on my family, time off work, stress on the rest of my body during recoveries and permanent dysfunctional foot problems. I am so angry that I trusted him and have paid a lifetime price with this problem. Biggest mistake seeing him in my life! read more
