Dr. Samuel Joseph Kleiman, MD

This doctor shows little concern , talks and walks away, makes bad judgement towards patients. Spends time at the nurses, desk not with those patients that need him. Stay away from him.

I had the unfortunate experience of having Dr. Kleiman be the doctor who was assigned to care for (and I say "care for" lightly) when he was hospitalized at Fort Washington Medical Center for approximately 2 weeks for insulin defiency, liver disease and acute alcoholism. I had to always contact this doctor to find out my husband's daily status because he never took it upon himself to even bother to stay in touch with me. Also when I did get a chance to speak with him the time spent with me was very minimal. I also stated to the doctor that I was very concerned about my husband's mental stateâ?¦as he appeared incoherent occasionallyâ?¦showed mood disorder quite frequently and stated â??he didnâ??t care if he lived or diedâ??. The doctor then rather non-chalantly answered my question and said that my husband had â??liver diseaseâ?? and that they only thing that was going to help him was for him to stop drinking. Never once did he mentioned having my husband undergo a psychiatric… evaluation. I'm not sure why my husband and I were treated with such disrespect. Perhaps it was because we didn't have Insurance because every time I tried to get my husband insured...he would be rejected because of having diabetes. What happen to the times when doctors really cared and showed concern for their patients (with our without Insurance)?

Excellent experience with Dr. Kleiman. Really trusted his skills as a physician; was able to discuss my condition and received honest feedback. Would trust him with my and my family's lives!
