What Dr. Clough’s Patients Have to Say…

Dr Clough: I’m sorry this letter is late, but I must thank you for taking such good care of me when you fixed my broken ankle last year! Thank you for being thorough in answering my questions and for making sure I understood everything. I really appreciate your professionalism before, during and after my ankle operation. I liked how you introduced me to your team in the operating room. That made me feel like a human being instead of a nameless patient. Perhaps you remember my determination when I told you much I value my legs, and I would do “everything in my power” to heal fast. I kept to my word. I did my own (aggressive) therapy using best practices. My recovery was remarkably fast. You mended my ankle in March of 2012. By the 2nd week of May I was walking without a cane or crutches, and by July, I was jogging; just 4 months after the operation. Now, it’s been over a year, and it’s easy to forget what sad shape my left leg was in before I put it in your hands. Thanks for everything doc! -- With much appreciation, David S.
Dr. Clough: Thank you for taking such great care of my Dad. He is doing much better now and I have no doubt its because of your skill and professionalism. He means the world to me, thank you! --Jim
Dear Dr. Clough: It was fun having you as my doctor! I will miss you! --Reagan P., Age 7

Kellie: I wanted to take a minute to let you know about the wonderful presentation that Dr. Clough gave to the Catholic Ladies Service Organization and the Bel Air Knights of Columbus last night. To say it was a success is an understatement. The doctor was very personable, informative and welcoming of questions from all in attendances and there was lots of them. The power point presentation was at a level that everyone was able to understand without all of the $10 words normally used by doctors explaining a problem. The doctor remained at the council fielding additional questions after the presentation further endearing him to his audience including my husband, who has finally decided to make an appointment with him. I as well as the organization thank both Dr. Clough for the presentation and you for setting this informative educational presentation up for our group I look forward to working with you in the future for additional presentations. I currently am awaiting the available dates for the council’s social monthly meetings to set up yet another informative presentation. Sincerely, -- Catholic Ladies Service Organization, Bel Air Knights of Columbus
