Personalization is what orthopedic surgeon, Dr. William Clark at Ascension St. John makes a priority when it comes to patient care. Dr. Clark and Jason Gates, PA-C created a unique monthly forum allowing the entire orthopedic surgical care team to collaborate on each patient. Dr. Clark insists that this comprehensive approach to pre-surgical planning sets their group apart in Tulsa, leading to better patient outcomes.

During each monthly forum, our care team thoroughly assesses each patient's condition, discusses surgery details, and develops a customized care plan. We take into account your complete medical history, lifestyle, and nutrition to ensure a holistic approach to your recovery.

“Not all scoliosis or kyphosis cases are alike, which is why we approach each patient as a unique case. We carefully assess the patient's medical history and use precise physical examinations,” said Gates. “Ultimately, we present the patient with multiple options to facilitate a well-informed decision regarding their operative or nonoperative plan.”

Dr. Clark and his team are committed to helping patients who have had unsuccessful spine surgeries or have been turned away, due to complex conditions. With advanced surgical treatments for scoliosis and other spine conditions, we offer more treatment options.

“Our unwavering commitment to our patients is driven by empathy and compassion. We consistently deliver 100% effort, regardless of the circumstances. We mentally and physically prepare ourselves to tackle the most challenging situations,” said Gates. "I firmly believe that we become a family after performing surgery. We witness you at your most vulnerable, and then we carry out life-changing surgeries."
