After living on a walker from 2020 - 2023; Dr. Claps performed my total left hip replacement using the anterior method. My surgery was on an outpatient basis. Having both my right & left hip replaced Dr Claps using the anterior method was the best. I thank God for Dr. Claps.

I had a total right hip replacement on February 11th. It was done outpatient. I went under anesthesia at 8:40 AM, was recovered, released and home by 3:30 in the afternoon. The surgery center is one and a half hours from my home. Dr. Claps did an excellent job both pre-and post surgical my husband had a right hip done and eight months later had a left knee done, both were done outpatient. He went snow skiing five months after the knee replacement. I would recommend Dr. Claps to everyone

Great service and expertise. I have found Dr. Claps to be efficient, and effective. This is the second time I’ve used his services. The office staff is friendly and courteous and hopefully I will never require his services again but if the need arises I would not hesitate to use his services again.
