My mom has been to several doctors and multiple specialists over the years trying to manage her chronic and progressive illness. Dr. Clare is one of the, if not the most, caring doctors and skilled Drs we've encountered. He spent an extended amount of time listening to my mom's concerns and discussing the best options for her, Without a doubt, I would definitely recommend Dr. Clare
