Everything went well. From what I can tell now today, I think the injection of my Right shoulder went fine and it feels much better. Thank you, Dr. Klein

I trust Gunderson, Clinic, and hospital with Medicare

Dr Klein was exceptionally kind and provided thoughtful explanations for what was happening. He delivered unexpected news in a gracious fashion and did not rush me to make any decisions.

It was a great visit. Dr. Klein was very helpful. I would definitely refer him to any one. All his answers and recommendations were thoroughly explained. He put my mind at ease. Looking forward to seeing him in the future.

Dr. Klein performed shoulder surgeries for my husband, so we already had confidence in him. I feel very comfortable knowing he will take the same care with me.

The Dr was running late. I waited for over a half an hour. No apology that he was late. Nothing.

Staff was professional and personable.

Dr.Klein is the most thorough orthopedic doctor I've ever had. And unfortunately I've been through a lot. Gunderson is very fortunate to have someone that not only has the skills that are needed. But he knows how to explain everything in layman's terms. Thank you.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/17/2026
Dr. Klein was very generous with his time, listened intently to my questions and provided thoughtful answers and alternatives. In the end, he helped me not only evaluate my options, but to choose the one that best suited my current situation. For that, I am very thankful.

Dr. Klein in orthopedic's is great!!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/18/2026
Dr. Kline was great. Even though I was to have the same surgery at another Gundersen Hospital, insurance problem there, he took time to bring up my X-rays and explain what my shoulder is like now and what he would be doing. Staff was super too.

He was fairly good and honest. The other visits to Urinolgy and MRI were all substandard at best.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/11/2026
Overall, a good experience. I did have to wait 40 minutes past my appointment time, but the doctor did apologize. It would have been nice if someone told me that he was running late.

My chart is repetitive with the check in process.

Dr Klein listened to my concerns very closely and acted on my needs for further orthopedic care. I would and have recommended to others.

The xray tech and dr I saw were absolutely wonderful. I went into the appointment expecting to be rushed, talked over, and dismissed. It was everything but that.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/2/2025
Excellent experience, very good, talented physician, caring person and staff. I'd be happy to recommend him and look forward to seeing him again. Thank you.

I was at my appointment at the required time, xrays were taken and I was taken back to the room and told that Dr Klein will be there shortly. This was at 9:25, he finally came in at 9:58. Now mind you, I am very claustrophobic, there are no windows in your treatment rooms, there was no one coming in with any reason for the doctors delay. When he did come in there was no apology for having me sit so long. Not a very good experience!
