Richard Klein's Online Review Report Card

I went in for a deviated septum in August 1921 and told him that my nose was a little crooked and it always bothered me. He said he can fix that. Well, two years later, and I still don’t breathe any better and my nose is more crooked then before and now I don’t even like the shape. He totally screwed my face up.

He helped me to be cancer free he and his team are amazing. I don’t want to go to any other doctor for my breast reconstruction surgery.

My wife had a severe case of leg swelling cause by lymphedema. She had already undergone the debulking procedure at Harvard Un hospital in Boston. A year after that procedure, she was told she was not a candidate for lymphnode transfer surgery there. Obviously, this was most disappointing. We winter in FL and for some reason I did an Internet search for a doctor who did lymphenode surgery. There popped up Dr Klein in Orlando. The magazine article about him got us to make an appointment to see him at the giant Orlando Health hospital where he practices. We attended the meeting, were very impressed with Dr Klein and decided there my wife would undergo the surgery. Let me say this about Dr Klein. This initial meeting is about as comprehensive as you wish to make it. He explained everything and answered all our questions. The Dr is an extremely active and busy man helping people out of sorts of very difficult medical conditions. In our experience this was by far the longest meeting we had with him and all other visits were right to the point on followup after surgery. My wife underwent the surgery. It is long and complex. It is not quick and easy. Know that. You will hurt afterwards. Dr Klein brought in another surgeon to harvest the best lymphenodes, then they are added to the body in a hope they will help drain the fluid in the affected area. Like most lymphedema sufferers, my wife wore very heavy compression garments all day, removing them only to sleep. It is a very difficult and uncomfortable procedure. I give the lady high marks for her stoic acceptance of these garments, but she knew the alternative was to have a giant, unsightly leg with its heavy weight. She wore the compression garments without complain. Several months after the surgery she had a followup with Dr Klein. At that time it appeared the procedure had been for naught, no relief was noted. The same result happened the next visits. It seemed my wife had gone thru difficult surgery for no benefit. Then as time passed I asked her whether she would have undertaken the surgery knowing results are not guaranteed. Without hesitation she said she would have done so. In the last year, imperceptibly, her leg is definitely improved. Not totally mind you, but enough so the leg stays far more manageable with lighter compression garments. Anyone with lymphedema will recognize this to be a big benefit. Should you go into this process to "cure" your lymphedema? I think not. But if you are looking for some relief and willing to chance that the relief may be great or nominal, I would greatly suggest sitting with Dr Klein. He is very good at this procedure, a fine man, and might well help you better control this terrible disease

Was told DR K lein did surgery but sign and had consult with DR Lee. What's that all about? They totally screwed my face up. No empathy no respect to my graf falling off 2 days after surgery. DR swore that it had stitches no way would a graf fall off with any kind of stitches. The whole group is bad news!!

Every time I went to this office there was different staff This dr operated on my face and left me with my eye that droops and doesn’t shut properly and a sagging right side of my face I look like I’ve had a stroke I believe my facial nerve is damaged I did NOT go for cosmetic surgery I went in for jaw reconstruction surgery due to a tumor Do not go to this dr

Dr. Kline and his staff are wonderful. After two unsuccessful operations from a different doctor, Dr. Kline stepped in and successfully made my knee perfect. I did not have any post surgical pain. Once released from the hospital, I found everyone of his office staff was knowledgeable and extremely competent. I will go to him in the future for any surgical procedures.

I will update after my surgery. My first visit and the fallow up has been great. The answer phone call shortley and are very helpfull

I had a very different experience with Dr Klein. He kept checking in with my husband and I throughout the exam and pre operative visit. We had opportunity ask questions. His P.A. asked us to send her questions via portal messaging if any came up prior to surgery. Reconstruction isn’t usually done at the same time as mastectomy so I don’t understand the second raters negative comments.

I recommend Dr. Klein without reservation. Plain and simple--when I met Dr. Klein, my only hope was to live long enough to see our daughter graduate from college and 8 years later I am still enjoying life with my family. This would not have been possible without Dr. Klein and his amazing team of professionals. Dr. Klein is brilliant, well-educated and totally dedicated to his patients and his work. He is someone I trust and respect. Fighting cancer is a fight like no other. Selecting a doctor and ally is a very personal decision, but for me and so many others, Dr. Klein is a true to life "super hero".

He is amazing from his bedside manner to his talent in reconstruction I am truly grateful!
