Took a little time to get an appointment but everything so far was great. Dr Clapp was very friendly, appeared to be thorough, gave lots of time / attention and the follow up is so far seamless. I went to him following an episode of decompression sickness and he seems to be well versed in this type of issue and therefore I was confident in his recommendations.
Dr. Clapp is truly an amazing cardiologist. My mum travels across the globe just to see him, as she trusts him completely and knows she’s getting the best possible care. His expertise and dedication are unmatched. On top of that, his assistant Natalie is an absolute joy to deal with always warm, helpful, and organised. Grateful to have found a doctor and team this wonderful!
