Dr. Klein has published several papers in orthopedic literature. He has a clinical interest in the treatment of wrist fractures and their complications.

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.
