I am sure that Dr Clingman is an Ok doctor but after my visit with him I do not feel secure seeing him as a patient so I would not recommend him either

He is a very thorough and very compassionate physician. He is concerned about the whole patient. He works well with other doctors that I am currently dealing with for my blood pressure and heart problems.

He explains everything but he is very cocky about things. As in why do u need to be on this medication and well that’s not for that or we are going to do labs to see if u need to be on it. Also, I explained that I needed a prior authorization for a medication and he didn’t listen to me. I have to call in again and explain to the receptionist and probably be told I have to be put on hold again. I just don’t seems to like him and think I might change doctors!!
