I would not recommend this clinic to anyone.
Pros:
- Dr. Clarfield treats many sports teams and has nice sports memorabilia around the office
Cons:
- they've misdiagnosed me, my brother, my father and my husband (that's 100% of the people I know who go here)
- they almost never send you for diagnostic imaging. My husband was correctly diagnosed after being sent for a lumbar MRI by another doctor; my brother was correctly diagnosed after getting a neck MRI in Buffalo (after a year at Sports Medicine Specialists it had gotten so bad that he couldn't wait to get one in Ontario)
- Dr. Clarfield will not explain anything to you, and even if you ask many questions you mostly get one word answers. You won't be able to manage your own care as you won't have enough info, and he's not managing your care either - despite being there for years, he has no idea who I am or what my problem is.
- The staff can be quite rough in their assessments (unnecessarily so - other doctors have made faster, more correct diagnoses with much less rough examinations). I personally had a very rough exam lead to signficantly worse problems than what I had come in for.
- Even if you somehow still want to go here, you will languish in pain and/or inactivity for months, as you can only get appointments approx 3 months out, and if you try to book more than one appointment at a time (e.g. for follow up after a test) they will cancel the subsequent appointments
