Claytor Memorial Clinic • Newport News, VA, United States • $200k - $250k / year • 2h ago

Claytor Memorial Clinic was originally opened in Roanoke by Dr. Richard Claytor’s great-grandfather, Dr. John B. Claytor, one of Roanoke’s first African-American physicians in the early 1900s. In honor of his family history, Dr. Richard Claytor chose to name his clinic after his great-grandfather’s clinic in order to continue the legacy he started many years ago.

The new clinic has been established since February 2016 and is a growing outpatient child, adolescent and young adult psychiatric medical practice with office locations in Roanoke and Newport News.
