Dr. Jared Clay, MD

Dr. Clay was to perform a signoidectomy leaving a colostomy and I was told to expect a reattachment surgery in several months.  However, I was to receive 3 surgeries in 3 week.  The second to fix issues from the first operation and the third to fix a fascial dehiscence requiring a wound vac.  I had now been opened from the sternum to the pelvic area 3 times. After 4 weeks in the hospital and 2 weeks in rehab, i had a follow-up appointment a month later with Dr. Clay at which time I questioned him as to what had happened.  He had no response.  He ignored my question and quickly changed the subject.  I considered this unprofessional, insulting and inconsiderate. It would take another year, 2 doctors, and 3 surgeries to repair issues created by Dr Clay. Due to his questionable medical competence my health has been sadly compromised. I now have a 25cm x 20cm mesh, and a diastasis.Allowing Dr Clay to perform the operation was the worst decision I have ever made in my entire life.

I was visiting a friend in Colorado Springs and began experiencing abdominal pain. I checked into the UC Health Memorial Hospital North ER. I was given a CAT scan. Shortly after, Dr. Clay came into my room and said my appendix had ruptured and that he had to operate immediately. After surgery, he told me that my insides had been pretty messy and that he had cleaned everything out as best he could to prevent secondary infection. From surgery day - a week ago- until now, I have not experience ANY pain. I never had to take a pain pill. No infection. I feel great. Dr. Clay is an amazing and talented surgeon who saved this senior citizen from a lot of pain and suffering to say the least. Keep up the outstanding work, Doc!! You make a difference in people's lives!!
