In short, the WORST!! I asked him what it means to have CKDIII and he told me "it doesn't apply to me," and its too complicated for me to explain to you. Told me to ask my primary doctor

Dr, Kleinman did not take the time go over test results with me or to make recommendations. I found my visit confusing and the staff rude and uncaring. When I asked for a copy of my test results, I had to pay 50 cents per page for them! The staff cannot even be bothered to look you in the face when you ask a question and give short, curt answers to any questions.

Dr. Kleinman is rude and has a poor bedside manner. He never cared about my husband we spent so many nights in the ER n all he would say is to follow up as an outpatient when my husband was really sick!! Hes now on dialisys thanks to him for never taking the time and being a real doctor! We hate him!!!

Dr. Kleinman spent lots of time with me both explaining my situation and answering questions. He is very caring and compassionate. I didn't feel like just another ring on the cash register.

I am the daughter of a long time patient and Dr. Kleinman has been so wonderful with my Dad that I felt compelled to comment. He has always been kind, caring and honest in his care of my Dad. We have the utmost respect and trust in him. He is very good about returning phone calls and he reaches out proactively to see how he is. There are very few doctors like this these days.

Dr. Kleinman is an unfeeling, noncompassionate human being who should have been a butcher not a doctor.
