A graduate of Princeton University, Dr. Klein earned his undergraduate degree in chemical engineering. He attended medical school at the University of Florida in Gainesville, graduating with honors. Following a surgery internship at the University of Texas in San Antonio/Bexar County Hospital, Dr. Klein completed his orthopedic training at SUNY-Downstate/Kings County Hospital, where he was named a Kings County Hospital Outstanding Physician. During his orthopedic training, he also received the Bernard Freundlich/Mercer Rang Award.
Dr. Klein joined Kennedy-White Orthopaedic Center in 1999 after completing his hand surgery fellowship at the University of South Florida/Tampa General Hospital program.
Dr. Klein has published several papers in orthopedic literature. He has a clinical interest in the treatment of wrist fractures and their complications. He has been involved in teaching through lectures to the USF Hand Surgery Fellowship as well as to the Orlando Regional Hospital Orthopaedic Residency. Along with some of his partners at Kennedy-White Orthopaedics, he teaches medical students from Florida State University in their surgical sub-specialty rotations.
In his spare time, Dr. Klein enjoys sailing and is an avid photographer, displaying his work throughout our office. With an interest in aviation history since he was a young child, he flies and dogfights with computer flight simulators (though he’s not a “real-life” pilot). Additionally, Dr. Klein has an affinity for Victorian architecture and spends plenty of “shop time” working on various house projects of his own.

He took the time to listen, and then he made a plan. I was very impressed.

Excellent ( professional I to 10.
Best drs in Florida
Wait time was too long ,1 hr 15 min., not acceptable .
Long wait time in the room, 45min i think. I really like Dr. Klein but today he didnt seem to realize until i said something that from my first visit he had diagnosed a small break and thought i just had a finger jam, so no xray was taken until after I reminded him. i thought maybe he would recommend OT to get my joint to bend properly again but he didn’t. Im sure my finger injury is more minor than most of his cases but i have endured 8wks or more of dealing with a finger splint that got wet daily and needed to be re-wrapped sometimes 2x a day. It was a big hassle and I tried so hard to be compliant. I didnt feel like my injury was significant enough for him to put much more thought into getting it to function (bend) properly again. Maybe it will just eventually bend properly on its own.
Very happy, because the doctor explains the entire procedure very well and how things go. He is a really good doctor.
Dr Klein has done 7 surgeries for me. He’s become a very trusted friend.
Excellent in all areas!
Thorough, professional, kind, relatable.
