Very methodical, personal, and informative. I had ample time to ask all questions and he gave excellent, well-formulated responses. I definitely trust him after that visit.

Dr. Claire was very honest, and told me exactly what was going to happen or had happened. We didn’t really get a chance to talk about how long it might take to heal. It might be three weeks. It might be three months. I dodged a bullet was very lucky so let it go with that. I know it’s still swollen and I’m I’m halfway I used to be, but that’s my fault cause I caused it in neuropathy!
