Dr. Clifton S. Hall, MD

I have had numerous basal cell cancers removed by 4 different Doctors. Dr. Hall was recommended by other Dr.s and neighbors and I am very pleased. I recommend him to anyone.

He is excellent . He did my surgery on my face for basal cell, and took 3 hour's to stitch it up . He is very good at what he does. For I am seeing him a second time. Very easy going I don't feel like a patient with him. Thank You

Although I could have honestly given Dr. Hall a 5 star rating after my first visit, now that I’ve seen him about three or four more times, I am absolutely sure.

Dr. Hall is well educated, smart, relaxed, and patient. He is also easy to talk with and he listens carefully.

Let me share a story that best represents Dr. Hall’s knowledge, intelligence, and character. Here it is.

One of top issues on my list when I went to see my primary care physician (PCP) was what my veteran medical field cousin and sister and I thought was an advanced case of fingernail fungus. This condition makes your fingernails look ugly. If you looked at photos on the Internet, as I did, and compared them to my nails, you would agree as well.

My PCP, whom I respect and like, immediately diagnosed them as fingernail fungus and prescribed a medication (Terbinafine 250MG) that I’d need to take for at least three months. When I went to pick it up, the pharmacist strongly recommended that I get a blood test to check my liver function every month! Although I had recently had a complete physical that showed my liver function was normal, I became very reluctant about starting this medication.

As you can imagine, I spent hours online looking for information and patient reviews. I found that the medication is commonly used, but the side effects in a somewhat low percentage of people can be extremely dangerous. The worst were reports of people having to have liver transplants because of it.

Since the next doctor I would be seeing was Dr. Hall (for the first time), and because this condition falls into his specialty, I decided to postpone taking the medication until I could get his opinion.

After Dr. Hall finished taking care of the main reason I was there, I asked him if he had ever had any problems with the medication (Terbinafine). He said, ”No, I have not.” Then he looked at my fingernails and quickly said, “You do not have fingernail fungus.” I was both astonished and relieved. He went on to say, “You have… (some long medical term), which is caused by habitually picking on your fingernail cuticles.” I had been doing that very thing for years! He said, “If you can stop, your nails will clear up.”

I assume that I was probably motivated by vanity since it looked so bad, I almost instantly stopped picking them. I was a tiny bit skeptical at first, but over a few weeks as the nails grew, I noticed that healthy nails were growing out at my cuticles. After several months, my nails were completely cleared up! I had not seen my nails looking that good in years! I was thrilled!

I proudly and enthusiastically showed my “new” nails to Dr. Hall at my next visit. It was a gratifying and fun moment. Now every time I go there, I cannot resist showing him my fingernails again.

I highly recommend Dr. Hall.
