Terrific doctor - Dr. K cares 200% about his patient's wellbeing and ensuring you improve and get the care you need.
Dr. Klimkiewicz practices at the absoute top of his specialty, orthopaedic medicine. He is one of the very best surgeons when it comes to the most complex and critical procedures. However he always tries first to find the most modest and appropriate solution for any patient. He’s a great listener who remembers and keeps track of his patient’s concerns. He’s also candid, understanding and always on the side of his patients.
I am always amazed at the amount of time he takes with you. Great listening skills!!
Very thorough and always focused on solving the problem.
