"I LOVE this man! At first, I have to admit, I wasn't too hep on him, due to the fact that the first time I saw him he looked unkempt, tired, and not exactly a model for what WLS can do for a person, however, my opinion changed quite drastically by the time my surgery time rolled around.
Dr, Klein's office staff is very proficient in what they do. The office is ran smoothly (when Dr. Klein does, at least), and there is fresh coffee available at all times, as well as water. It's also located right next to a pharmacy that caters to his patient's needs.
First thing you need to know is that if you have an afternoon appointment, bring things to keep your mind busy because he takes so much time with individual patients that he is always running late (and I do mean late!), but he is absolutely worth the wait! He is very thorough in his teachings and procedures, not wanting his patients to feel any doubts. He wants to make sure we are confident in our choices and that we know what kind of ride we are in for before AND after surgery.
I didn't get a full appreciation for his sense of humor until after the surgery and the nurse went to look at my wounds. There in bold black letters was "No Touchie the IOBAND!" Like I was gonna anyway, right? Oh, and he's referred to as "The Vampire Doctor" because he usually comes in to see his patients at 2 or 3 in the morning. (However, since he is head of Trauma at another hospital, it is understandable.) And when he does come in, he pulls up a chair and waits for you to ask him questions, if there aren't any, he'll quiz you.
All in all, I'd say my relationship with Dr. Klein is one of great respect. A respect that has flourished beyond belief!"
