Best experience I have ever had in a hospital. Staff in Fayetteville was great. Dr. Claps is very professional. His best asset is his ability to explain things in a reassuring manner.

Charles clap advise me that he could not do anything for me because it wasn’t my help. It was my back that was a problem. He referred me to a back doctor and I appreciate that very much.

Dr Claps is an excellent surgeon. I have never and I mean never seen any one like him. Very personable. He literally called the night before my hip replacement to see how I was doing. That reassured me. He told everything would be fine and he was right. Four months after the surgery I walked 27 miles in one weekend. .
