I felt at ease talking to Dr. Clare and he was very informative and explained the issue for my ankle and his recommendations for the treatment. We decided on a non-surgical option. I trust his judgement and am very happy that l was there and gave me options.
Thank you, Dr. Clare

Dr Clare listened to what I had to say and explained my problems well. He gave me stretching exercises to do at home that should help me in time.
