Dr. Kleiner took all the time I needed to answer my questions and for him to explain my treatment plan. He is always available on the portal and responds right away. He does not make you feel you are in a rush for your appointment. His demeanor for treating and communicating with me is outstanding.

This was my best doctor's visit since my whole issue began almost a year ago. He showed the most care and concern and recognized that I was upset and nervous. He showed me what was going on with pictures on the computer and for the first time I had an understanding of what is happening with me. I wish he could be my sole care provider. And to think I almost canceled it.

Dr Anatole Kleiner is an asset to your health care system. He is knowledgeable, personable, an expert in his specialty, a good listener & much more. I was referred to Dr Kleiner by my internist for a complicated medical condition and was seen within 24-48 hours of that referral. I'm very pleased with his exceptional care & his pleasant office staff.
