Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Closure
I was made to feel completely at ease by Dr Clapp, and felt I was in the best surgical hands in the country for my PFO closure. He inspires confidence. I was always kept fully informed about my treatment, and my particular circumstances and needs were fully supported, despite being a somewhat unusual case. The surgery and aftercare I have received have been outstanding. My thanks to Dr Clapp and his excellent team, both surgical and administrative.
