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.

Dr. Claps did such an amazing job with my first knee replacement, I didn't hesitate for him to perform surgery on my second one. Dr. Claps is very knowledgeable, keeping me informed every step of the way before and after surgery. Dr. Claps and his staff are efficient and reliable while performing exceptional and professional service. I am so pleased with my new knees. If you're in the process of needing a wonderful surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Claps. He, along with his great staff, will do a fantastic job.
