Dr Clare took his time to explain Martin how the surgery works on deformed ankle and explained option of using brace if desired. Martin felt more confidence to make right choice for himself. He definitely will use Dr Clare to treat his ankle.

He did good work on my surgery and gave great information before the surgery. I wish he had taken a bit more time to get to know me overall, and to help me feel calmer before the surgery. I also wish he had come to speak to me after the surgery.

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!
