Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful doctor
Dr. Klasset is down to earth, competent, kind and a great listener. I don't usually like going to the doctor because I have had bad experiences before but Dr. Klasset always makes me feel comfortable and that my concerns are truly heard. Both my husband and I have seen him as our PCP for around 10 years and I feel very grateful to have him as my doctor. I very much trust his medical advice and feel he is a great doctor. He takes my concerns seriously and is thoughtful about the treatment he recommends. He is also very open minded. He really provides great care and I highly recommend him!

the BEST
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Klassett’s for almost 25 years. I moved out of Richmond area 11 years ago. I drive 5 hours (round trip) for appointments 2-4 times a year because he is the absolute best PCP. He listens and truly cares about his patients. He never rushes you out of the office. I cannot say enough amazing things about him.

Best doctor ever
I came to Dr.Klassett with a bunch of issues. I voiced my concerns and he immediately ordered all the tests I asked for. I feel like he let me be a part of the process, and took what I said seriously. He’s gone above and beyond to work with me and thanks to him, my quality of life has improved significantly. I was never one to go to the doctor or take my health seriously, but I feel like I hit the lottery by choosing Dr.Klassett as my doctor.

Dr. Klassett is our "family doctor" for many years, and we are with his practice for over 25 years. I and my wife have many medical issues, organ transplant cancer...Dr. Klassett always is giving us the best advice, he never rushes us thru appointments, always gave us the best treatment.

I have been going to Dr Klassett for over 15 years and he has always taken care of all my issues. I have suffered from migraines for 20 years and he was the only one to help find a RX that worked for me. I have followed him to different locations when he moved and hope to never have to switch!

I love Dr. Klassett. He's an amazing doctor and he really cares. I feel really put off by his intern though and it's been playing on my mind for days. When I had my physical I told her I had been feeling tired, muscle aches, hair loss - all around not well. I previously had a vitamin d count of 6. I asked if we could test it. She said it was depression and prescribed Prozac. Then says, "You and I know this blood work will be fine, but wouldn't it be nice not to feel crazy all the time?" What?!
