Summary: Let $T$ be a Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space $H^2$ on the unit circle, and let the symbol of $T$ be of the form $\frac{\varphi}{\psi}$, where $\varphi$ is inner function, $\psi$ is a finite Blaschke product, and $\deg\psi\leqslant\deg\varphi$. D.N.~Clark proved that such $T$ is similar to an isometry. In this paper, we find this isometry.
