Dr. Klein has been my go-to surgeon for close to 20 years. He's never let me down medically but today the wait time for my appointment was somewhat laughable--over 2 hours after the first round of xrays were taken.. And the waiting room was pretty empty. .
Excellent care! Dr Klein was very thorough and helpful treating my hand problem. The staff was very friendly and made my visit very pleasant. I highly recommend and appreciate Dr David Klein. Thank you once again. Cheers, Lilly Garcia 🙏
Listened attentively! Exceptional attention to detail & spent time explaining all the issues and discussing X-rays of left wrist fracture. Friendly& professional & keen sense of humor. Cortisone shot to right shoulder - instant relief!
Dr Klein is one of the best surgeon I ever had.
Dr. David Klein is an excellent physician and tremendously skilled. We love him.
Dr. Klein is thorough! He listens and doesn’t rush!
Dr. Klein was very patient with all my questions about my upcoming surgery and twice spent a lot of time going over my medical reports.
Focused and efficient. Fast. He answered my questions and gave me some recommendations to help my condition
Dr. Klein was great!
I have mixed feelings about my visit. I had an appointment with Dr. Klein at 10:15 in the morning. I waited at least 1 hour to see him. The waiting room was overly crowded and also things seemed terribly rushed. I did finally meet with his Physician’s assistant, Taylor. She was excellent, and explained things clearly. I will probably need a follow up visit at some point but sure about returning there.
