Since moving down here almost 2 months ago, it is not always an easy chore to find a doctor when you have been with your current physician for so many years. Dr. Claire was fantastic, very professional, very kind, explained everything and what he did for my ankle helped immensely and almost immediately. I am very pleased with 360 orthopedics.
