Dr. Clarke has been extensively involved with cancer research in the clinic and in the laboratory and has authored numerous scientific publications in the field.

In 2009 Dr. Clarke joined Gamma West and returned to his home state. He practices primarily in St. George and has been excited to contribute to the high level of care already available in Southern Utah.
