Get to know the staff at Meridian Physical Therapy: Introducing our newest addition Clark:
Clark is a Meridian, Idaho native and Mountain View High School graduate who went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Wellness from Brigham Young University. He later completed his Doctor of Physical Therapy at Pacific University in Portland, Oregon, followed by an Orthopedic Residency and his Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) certification.

An avid outdoorsman, Clark enjoys big game and waterfowl hunting, as well as running, hiking, and camping throughout Idaho. Fall is his favorite season—not only for hunting but also for cheering on the Boise State Bronco football team. A passionate sports fan, he closely follows college football and enjoys watching the NBA.

Clark’s personal experience with physical therapy—including multiple knee, arm, and back surgeries—gives him a deep understanding of his patients’ challenges. He is committed to helping others return to the activities they love. Outside the clinic, he spends his time with his wife and two young children, often outdoors, at the city park, or strolling around Scheels!
