Clinton Wagner was born in Baltimore, Maryland, of a German-American family whose ancestor, Basil Wagner, was said to have received, in 1667, a grant of land from the Crown in the province of Frederick, afterwards Carroll County, Maryland. His mother, of Welsh descent, nee Peters, was born in Baltimore in 1806.
He attended St. James College, Hagerstown, Maryland, then entered upon the study of medicine in Baltimore, and received the degree of M. D. at the University of Maryland in 1859.
He entered the Medical Corps of the United States army, the first of twenty-eight applicants, served at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. , and later at San Antonio Arsenal, Tex. , where his command was surrendered to the Confederates by David E. Twiggs at the opening of the Civil War. Wagner, loyal to the Union, was given a position of much responsibility by the Surgeon-General Hammond of the army and after several promotions became medical director of the regular, or Second Division, V Corps, of the Army of the Potomac, ranking as brevet lieutenant-colonel. He was many times at the front during severe engagements and risked great personal perils. He continued in the Medical Corps of the army after the war, but resigned in 1869 and went abroad to study laryngology in London, Vienna, Berlin, and Paris. After two years he returned to New York City and established himself as a specialist. His brilliant qualities as a teacher and as a practitioner soon attracted attention; he established the Metropolitan Throat Hospital and Dispensary, modeled after the London Throat Hospital of Golden Square, and rivaling the best institutions of its kind abroad. It soon became famous among students in the United States as the first special hospital and school of instruction of graduates in laryngology and rhinology. Wagner devised many new instruments and surgical methods, and his long experience as a general surgeon and his extraordinary technical skill enabled him to perform with success major operations upon the throat and neck that few specialists were in the habit of undertaking. He was the best master of thyrotomy of his time. In a pioneer thesis, Habitual Mouth-Breathing (1881), he called attention to mouth-breathing in its relation to medicine. Many of his most valuable contributions were published in the Transactions of the American Laryngological Association from 1879 to 1893. In 1882 he was among the first to enter upon the organization of the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital, where he became its first professor of laryngology and rhinology. An important achievement of his career was the founding of the New York Laryngological Society in 1873, nearly fifteen years before a similar organization was founded in Europe and five years before the organization of the American Laryngological Association, which grew out of the New York society. In 1914 Wagner became an honorary fellow of the national Association. In the midst of a brilliant and prosperous professional career, he retired from active practice in New York. For several years he resided at Colorado Springs and other well-known health resorts of the Southwest. Later he spent much time abroad, published practical studies of many popular sanitaria, and acquired an unusually wide and accurate knowledge of climatology. He died Geneva, Switzerland.
He established numerous field hospitals and organized on the Mississippi River the first floating hospital in Western waters. One of the most notable was at Gettysburg, where he established a field hospital near Little Round Top, the site of which is now marked by a monument bearing his name. As a pioneer in American laryngology he stands in the foremost rank.

He was a man of untiring energy and indomitable courage; no difficulty seemed to him unsurmountable, and no danger too great.
He was married on August 28, 1882, to Elizabeth Vaughan of London, who survived him. They were detained abroad at the outbreak of the World War and made their residence at Geneva, Switzerland.
