Dr. Clinton is amazing. Not only is he dedicated to his research, but he also takes the time to get to know each of his patients as individuals. He truly cares about his patients and their well-being. I've been seeing him for years and he has always been attentive and responsive to my concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking treatment for prostate cancer.
