Dr. Clarkson is a leading obstetrician-gynecologist currently serving patients at Cassidy Medical Group, Inc. in Vista, California. Throughout her twenty years of practice, she has accrued extensive expertise in high-risk obstetrics and laparoscopic and robotic gynecologic surgery.

Cassidy Medical Group, Inc. was founded in 1947 by two dedicated physicians who desired to serve their community. The core of their foundation was based not solely on their skilled profession, but on their desire, dedication, compassion, and high-quality health care to their patients. This philosophy has been carried throughout Cassidy Medical Group for over 50 years.

Its goal is to deliver the highest quality medical care efficiently and compassionately and to service all customers, be they patients, doctors, community physicians, hospitals and/or peers in attaining that goal.

Back in 1990, Dr. Clarkson graduated with her medical degree from Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. She then went on to perform her internship and residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Naval Medical Center.

Having been involved in the local community, she has worked as an OB/GYN hospitalist in the ER at Tri-City Medical Center for the past six years. She held the position of Department Head of OB/GYN at the Naval Hospital Twentynine Palms from 2002-2003, and was involved in teaching clinical staff in the OB/GYN Department at the Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton from 1997-2005.

A Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Dr. Clarkson is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The ABOG is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States and Canada.

Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics and gynecology. An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health.

Holding herself to the highest standard of care, Dr. Clarkson attributes her success to listening well to patients, dedicating time to them, utilizing a holistic approach for the best practice, and having a sense of humor.

Outside of practicing medicine, she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, listening to music, ballroom dancing, and swimming. Her favorite professional publications are The Green Journal and the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
