Patient friendly, easy to talk too. Clarify when saying we'll take care of everything make sure to stop by signout desk . Patient, took it literally and walked out with the information. a
checkout person did not say wait lets see what the doctors orders were.
My failure their mistake in not asking Patient to wait so they could review doctors notes. Dr. Clapp was excellent.

I’ve been under Dr. Clapp’s care going on almost 5 yrs for my Spinal Issues. He performed my fusion in 2022. Any issue or concerns that I may have, he and his staff have always been they to listen and find ways to help me maintain the best quality of life and the best possible solutions and outcome that I feel comfortable with. His advice and guidance are always appreciated but in the end he will do what I’m comfortable with at that time. Every visit I’ve felt comfortable with vocalizing my feelings on if I agreed or disagreed with decisions concerning my care. I’ve really appreciated how he and his team has made me feel all these years. Thank you to all!😊
