Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I think he is really good. He took his time explaining my skin care issues. Love love the tinted sunscreen. Probably the best I have ever use!

Dr. Kling is very attentive, reassuring and so are his assistants! I'm so glad I found them. I plan on Dr Kling being my Dermatologist for life. :)

I am a 66 year old male on Medicare Advantage insurance. This was my initial visit which I made since some moles were inflamed, and I had other skin irritations I wanted checked. To keep this simple and too the point, Dr. Kling spent exactly 15 minutes with me. He rushed in took notes on a file folder, looked at two of 8 areas I was concerned about and that was it. I spend a lot of time in shorts golfing and doing yard work, so I asked about my legs. He slightly bent over and said they are fine. My $35 dollar co-pay was wasted with this visit & I walked out of there thinking did this really happen or was it a bad dream. Well, it was real and I am not going back....

Dr. Kling was my fathers Dermatologist & I was always present in the examination room while Dr. Kling tended to my father. Dr. Kling was always kind, respectful, friendly, attentive and very thorough. I would highly recommend Dr. Kling to anyone looking for a great Dermatologist!

I was referred to Dr. Kling by my MD. I went to have a cyst looked at. During my appt, he interviewed me, looked at the cyst & told me that he could remove right now with my permission. He did remove it. I have had these cysts removed in the past but unlike in the past, I never felt a bit of pain. It was very quick & easy (even with stitches) & throughout the healing process & removal of stitches. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND DR KLING & HIS STAFF. Thank you Dr Kling and your staff!

I met Dr. Kling years ago when he worked at St. Lukes. I had a skin cancer on my chest that needed to be surgically removed. He did a great job & eventually the scar did disappear. I've had 2 more skin cancer surgeries throughout the years. One was done on my nose by a Plastic Surgeon & the other on my arm by Dr Kling. The scar from Dr Kling's surgery is almost invisible now. 7 years ago I lost a brother in California to melanoma. We both loved the beach but we never used sun screens.

I was very pleased with Dr Kling at my first appointment today. He was very easy to talk to and he explained my options. He addressed my problems today, not making me come back lin a week or two.

Dr. Kling helped clear up my persistent acne after 20+ years. I'm incredibly grateful! He offered a treatment that none of my previous dermatologists ever suggested (I had tried everything). He is very knowledgable and has always taken a great deal of time to explain things during appointments. I highly recommend him!

Never dealt with such rude and unprofessional staff. No sense of how to talk with new patients or to help facilitate the appointment. Rude! Can't comment on doc since did not see him. But the staff reflects the office philosophy so can't imagine how the patient experience would be.

I have gone to this dermatologist a few times. I personally was not impressed and the last visit was less than desired. It was like he was in a hurry to get me out the door and to the next person. He did ask if I had any concerns and if he addressed them but it was in a manner that he just wanted to move on. He was not open to anything that he didn't suggest nor did he want to expand his knowledge about alternate ways to treat a skin condition. I was very disappointed.
