My wife and I have been fortunate to have been treated by him, and I look forward to my next appointment. Thank you for having Dr. John Klimkiewicz in my life. John O. Hopkins.
He listens. I mean really listens and doesn’t rush you out.
Great Dr and is interested in your overall wellbeing
Excellent physician and even better person. The hype is true 👏👏
The best!
Knowledgeable, listens is thorough and takes a conservative approach. I feel confident that Dr. K is my doctor.
Outstanding
Would have liked to have a few more minutes to ask additional questions.
Dr. Klimkiewicz is exceptional! He's a very kind and perceptive doctor who gives an impeccable attention to detail and spot on with his diagnosis and treatment.
Dr K has been nursing along my joints for 10 to 15 years, not anxious to operate until it becomes a last resort. Perfect partner as I have moved through my 70's and am into my 80's.
