Dr. Kling always actively listens during my appointment. He sits down and has a face to face conversation. He lays out all treatment options and makes sure I am informed of each one. He listens fully and is compassionate. I can't recommend him enough!

I first saw Dr Kling with a torn meniscus. We decided not to do surgery. He consult appointment made me a fan for life. He asked questions and let me ask questions. He was a fantastic sounding board. Since then he performed a glut repair surgery and recently a total knee replacement. I've seen other orthopedic doctors, but he exceeds my expectations every time. I'm an athlete who couldn't some of the things I wanted to do without pain. He has restored my life and now I can do more than I hoped.
