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.

A Special Doctor for Special Needs
Dr. Michele Kleiman has been my son‘s physician for many years. He is on the autism spectrum. Her specialty is pediatric neurology. Her expertise in her field of medicine is extraordinary. She is friendly and kind and knows how to reach my son so she can better understand his needs. She is well educated in what is up to date in treating autism as well as her competence in knowing what medications to safely and effectively prescribe for my son. She has helped our family weather many a storm going beyond the call of duty, responding to emergency phone calls on the weekend. Dr. Kleiman‘s integrity and compassion is nothing short of sublime and speaks not only to her character as a doctor but to her character as a person as well. I would recommend her as a physician to anyone who is neurodiverse because of her patience, professionalism and commitment to my son. I also have to give credit to her staff, who are also wonderful listeners and have been very helpful over the years. Thank you.

My son has been a patient of Dr Kleiman for the last 8years. He is high functioning autistic, I took him to multiple doctors that were quick to throw a diagnosis at him. Dr Kleiman was so thorough listened to my concerns valued my opinion and those who care for my son on a daily basis. My son's progress is amazing and it is because of our team work! Thank you so much

Dr. Kleiman quite literally saved my life. Before meeting her I was having upwards of 20 seizures a day and could hardly function. After meeting with Dr. Kleiman and being her patient, she was able to prescribe me a combination of medications which lessened me down to at the least a few seizures every two weeks. She also informed me of a potential operation which could(and would) lead me to be seizure free. After pursuing the treatment she recommended I have been seizure free for multiple years.
