I have 200% faith in Dr Claire!He was very throrough and explained test results and answered my questions and lessened my anxiety about my issues.I wouldnt trust anyone BUT him for my vascular needs.And I felt like a person and not a insurance claim/i wasnt rushed througjlh the visit. He is amazing.I am getting my sister to switch from her vascular provider hopefully soon she will be in far better hands.
