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.

Rectal Tumor Removal & Ostomy Reversal
Dr. Kleinstein and staff were very professional throughout my journey. He, himself, takes the time with you to make sure your questions get addressed and you are comfortable with your care...you never feel rushed or that something else is more important than you. He saw me through an initial tumor removal surgery that ended up being a bit more complicated than originally anticipated and which resulted in a temporary ostomy bag being needed. He has since performed a second surgery to reverse that scenario and taken me through the recovery process. Overall, for this cancerous journey having been a low point in my life, he has been one of the high points throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Kleinstein in your time of need.

My appointment with Dr. Kleinstein was refreshingly informative and more importantly, one of the most positive Doctors office experiences I have had! He took the time to answer all of my questions and address any of my concerns. I was treated with the utmost respect from a Dr who truly cared and did not once look at the clock. Time was not even a factor. Dr. Kleinstein took a human approach to being a caregiver and a trusted Doctor. Thank you!

Dr. Kleinstein is very friendly and professional at all of my office visits. He was able to quickly schedule my biopsy and diagnose my issue. He always explained in detail what my issues were and my options. He explains the pros and cons and leave it to me to make my final decision. My only issue is with the lady at the front desk, she can be rude at times.... this may be a reason my pressure is also high when I come into this office. Only in this office is where my pressure is escalated after conversing with her.

Dr. Kleinstein is an excellent Doctor. I could not be more happy for choosing him for my surgery. He is very knowledgeable and explains things throughly. He does not take short cuts and make you feel very important and comfortable. I had my surgery in the morning and he was wonderful explaining everything to my husband. I left the hospital the same day. My incision is healing well. Dr. Kleinstein is a really great and caring Doctor, I recommend him for any surgery needed.

Dr. Kleinstein is a wonderful surgeon! Took great care of my 18 yr old son. He is friendly and easy going and immediately puts you at ease. Extremely thorough and patient. Dr. Kleinstein checked-in with us before surgery and with me immediately after while my son was in recovery. Answered all our questions and addressed all concerns. Procedure went smoothly and my son had little to no discomfort. Office staff is also a pleasure to work with!
