My wife and I are new to the area. I am thankful that my local doctor referred me to Dr. Klapper. I was able to get an appointment quicker than I expected. The office staff is wonderful to work with. On the day of the surgery, the doctor was on time, and everything proceeded as we had expected. Afterwards, the results exceeded my expectations. As I said to the doctor in a follow-up examination, it is simply wonderful to work with professionals!

Dr. Klapper fixed my Ptosis issue. My vision is much improved & family & friends immediately noticed the difference in my appearance. He and his staff are kind, professional & answered all questions! If there is only one negative, it would be how full his calendar was & my wait time to be booked was much longer than I would have liked.
