Excellent always!
We love Dr Clairmont
Our nurse was friendly and competent.
He is wonderful. This is the first time my husband has been able to go with me to my quarterly appointments for injections. My husband knew how much I respected Dr. Clairmont and his knowledge before the appointment. However, my husband was still blown away by Dr. Clairmont's knowledge and intuition. Dr. Clairmont is FABULOUS!
Good
Dr. Clairmont is always fun to be around. At the same time he always presents me with options that could help me, outside of the baclofen process that he does.
Very knowledgeable and precise.
He is the best doctor I have very had! He listens and cares about me.
Dr. Clairmont is the best doctor I see. Makes you feel heard. He s the only compassionate doctor I've visited in yrs . & I have a complex medical history so I've dealt with dozens of Doctors .
Dr. Clairmont demonstrated excellent diagnostic skills. I wish I had been able to be under his care sooner.
Always excellent
Dr. Claimont was extremely thorough! He is the first Dr. That I have seen since the onset of my pain issues that was willing to take the time to not only spend with me but to explain in great detail what He had noticed in combination to the reports that He had spent the time reviewing. He is the most careing Dr. That I have ever seen. His kindness towards His patients is a true asset to the well being of His patients. God Bless Him in His life !!!
All good
Exelllant
The provider was so good and well educated and really helped me and was very concerned about my injury to my hand and why the proper care for my hand needed to be arranged He was so nice to me and my son and he really educated me on my hand injury. He also was cared about my health and well being. I'm so thankful for his help.
Dr. Clairmont is knowledgeable, friendly, and great doctor.
I experienced the most positive, informative, respectful doctor's appointment I've ever had with Dr Clairmont!!
Good
Very knowledgeable and compassionate. I have never felt like a doctor cared so much. He took his time with me and made me feel like he truly has a passion for what he does.
Extremely knowledgeable about my condition. Very caring and explains each step of treatment in detail.
Dr. Clairmont is the most thorough and knowledgeable doctor I have ever been privileged to receive treatment from. He listens and adjusts his "game plan." He explained medical things about me from my childhood that no other doctors have ever noticed or have ignored - blows me away!
I don't have the words to express the depth of relief I walked away from this appointment with. I had given up a long time ago on figuring out what was wrong with me and had just settled for treating the worst of my symptoms after 25 years of pain that worsened and spread and never made sense. I left that appointment with every question I've had for 25 years answered because one doctor decided to genuinely listen to me and spend the time necessary (over 2 hours) listening to me to diagnose things I've not only been struggling with for 25 years but that had plagued me since childhood (I'm 44) that I just accepted as part of my life, and now I have hope and legitimate treatment options in front of me.
I have only great things to say about Dr. Clairmont. He's the best on his specialty . I get botulinum shots on head & neck area for dystonia & triage headaches. I simply couldn't trust someone else wt. About 30 needles. But he's humble & always helpful on listening to my other health issues. He sets time aside before precidure every time to ask what is going on on & respectfully directs me on what I may consider doing about a next step.I Value his opinion tremendously .
Very Very thorough Explanations on point Seem to be concerned about dx
I thought I was going for a quick in and out visit. Turns out a very through neurology type visit which was good.
Vera good

Dr. Clairmont and his staff are wonderful! They work with me and make a somewhat uncomfortable procedure the best that it could be. I have complete confidence in him and his staff. I have been under his care for many years and I highly recommend him for treatment.
He was amazing and offered insight to why I experience pain DAILY and why surgeries were needed and why I have the medical issues I do when no other provider has cared to look into it

He respects my need-to-know and can answer more than adequately in technical & civilian language
He is incredibly caring and intelligent. He completely explains what he thinks is going on and ensure you know as well. It's quite evident that he cares for his patients.

Very patient, caring, observing and knowledgeable of what he does
He is wonderful in his knowledge and care of me. I have been a patient for 22 years.
Knowledgeable, caring, informative and kind.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Clairmont. He has, literally, changed my life. I was in pain for so many years and saw other providers from OSU who weren't aware/informed enough about my condition and just sent me on to another Dr. Dr. Clairmont is BRILLIANT. He is treating me with the only possible option for my condition that other OSU doctors poo -pood.I cannot rave about him enough. I would love to discuss this more with any supervisor or HR person. He is also the most caring, comforting, and informative Dr. I have ever seen and I have had a lifetime of Doctors.
