He was very professional but I find your $100 no show fee and sign warning patients to behave or be thrown out to be hypocritical given I waited an hour and a half for a less than 10 minute appointment - very disrespectful to you patients
Wonderful doctor
Great dr. Listens to you and takes good care of you. Love seeing Dr. Klavas.
Always timely appointments. Great care
He explained the probable causes of the condition of my foot.
Dr Klavas is very kind, timely, and informative.
Longer than usual wait time for my appointment. Everything else was good. Good discussion of treatment and expectations. Thanks!
Very nice visit every one was friendly had me in and out in a reasonable time
The best
Thorough, pleasant, patiently explained everything in easy to understand terms. I already had experience with him before when he did my sisters foot surgery. Highly recommend him if you have foot problems, he’s the best!
