My son is autistic and had a bad experience of an attempted anaesthesia a couple of years ago. I had been very wary of attempting again. Claire called me to discuss the options for my son and we came up with a plan I was happy with so he would remain calm, he had a tablet at home to relax him and then a nasal spray as a pre-med, he happily went to surgery but as we were waiting to go in he went to sleep due to the pre- med. I stayed with him until Claire had still given him the gas and he woke after the operation unaware he had even had it. The care and attention we had from Claire, from the communication beforehand, the explanations to my son at the bedside and ensuring he was not hanging around. I felt confident he would be 100% looked after and I would highly recommend Claire for any nervous patient and anyone with a limited understanding of the process.
