Dr Klein has done 7 surgeries for me. He’s become a very trusted friend.
Excellent in all areas!
Thorough, professional, kind, relatable.
Doctor listens.
I appreciate Dr. Klein for repairing my injury with outstanding results. He has great compassion.
I just had my final postop visit with Dr Klein and I am so happy to give him a five star rating. He did a Capital job on my hand and I am very very pleased with the results. His office and also the operating room staff were extremely Pleasant and totally made my stay so comfortable. I highly recommend Dr Klein for any hand surgery or orthopaedic problem that you might have Lily B Garcia.
Best orthopedic I have ever visited. He does not assume his patients are idiots like a lot of doctors do, especially the younger ones. He takes the time to not only give his opinion but WHY he has that opinion. He is the “Go to Doctor” for any shoulder problem and probably for most orthopedic problem.
I like Dr. Klein but I can't afford to wait 2 hours to see him for a 10 minute visit. I work also and the practice needs to be more considerate of people's time. I also heard several people complaining in the lobby about the wait time.
The entire team / family there are amazing!
A great Doctor as always. Waiting time 1 1/2 hs +
