My first appointment with Dr. Klein was a five star experience. She was very reassuring. Took the time to explain all aspects of my skin issue. Very efficient and got me out of there in no time.

I typically do not write reviews. But Dr Klein is so deserving (not that she needs a review praising her!) I have been a patient of Dr. Klein for around 35 years. She is an outstanding doctor. Dr. Klein’s exams are thorough and she explains things in a clear, down to earth manner. No matter how busy she may be, I never feel my appointment is rushed.The times I have had moles removed she has been gentle. Dr. Klein stands out as a gifted physician and a genuinely caring person. In this era marked by impersonal healthcare and timed appointments, Dr Klein is a gem.
