As part of my MSc in Sports Medicine I spent a several weeks shadowing different Sport and Orthopaedic consultants from across London and Southern England. The time I spent with Claire in her clinic and shadowing her theatre sessions was incredibly informative. I was thoroughly impressed with her skill and the professionalism and performance of her team. She is honest, forthcoming and highly skilled and I would have no issue recommending patients to her.
