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.

Not what you want nor expect from doctor!
5 yrs old, diagnosed with stage 1, Dr did a lumpectomy, needed follow up radiation & chemo after incision heal from surgery. The wound would not heal, repeated visits, weekly & biweekly to Dr bc of problems, her having to remove tissue, piece of staple etc…wound healed finally 3 plus months later I was able to continue treatment plan with oncologist. Recently, I'm having problems with incision again, will see another doctor!! Her responses were often cold, short & rude, lack of understanding & compassion. “We” do not deal with this disease daily, therefore we have additional questions, she was dismissive of my anxiety, telling me to download an app to help relax…..would NOT recommend!

This dr is the best Dr ever. What Dr gives you there cell phone number to be able to speak to her?? She is my Dr now and I’m beyond grateful and blessed for her. Amazing, wonderful and kind. I texted her a few times due to being nervous and not once did she not respond or help me. Thank you Gina Savino also all the staff was wonderful

My mother found Dr Kleban for her breast cancer surgery. My mother was always looking for successful women to work with in every aspect of her life, so Dr Kleban seemed just that. My first impression of Dr Kleban involved her short, dismissive responses to my questions about my mother's safety during the upcoming surgery. This was to be major surgery and neither my mother nor I felt safety questions should have been out of bounds. But Dr Kleban took particular offense to being asked pre-surgery questions and responded to both of us in a very demeaning, defensive, sarcastic, and insulting way that lead me to feel that if an attending nurse or staff member pointed out something safety-wise to her in the operating theatre, that she wouldn't hesitate to belittle and demean that person just as she did to my mother and I. Which meant to me, there would be no chance of any speaking up by staff if anything were going wrong during the surgery. A patient can't reasonably evaluate a surgeon's

I have called THREE times to your office e to ask why I keep getting sent medical bills for my mother, who has been deceased for over 3 years. Today, I called and the woman on the phone LAUGHED at me when I told her this. I dont know if she is lucky enough to have a mother above ground , but you dont LAUGH at someone's loss. Extremely unprofessional. HR needs to have a talk with that woman.

Dr. Kleban performed surgery on me for breast cancer 17 years ago. I continue to see her every year for my check-ups. Not only is she an excellent technical surgeon, she is caring and compassionate. I have sent many friends and relatives to be taken care of by her. I am writing because I saw some reviews that were mean and nasty . I can't believe that these people are talking about the same doctor. I trust her with my life.

Dr. Kleban is a wonderful surgeon. She is very caring and meticulous. I have not only been a patient but have had the pleasure of working with her. I have firsthand knowledge of her expertise in surgery. Don't not listen to the rantings of other crazy patients....the one from Texas never even went to her, and the other from West Palm Beach never came for follow up after surgery, but showed up 5 years later & was cursing in the office. Please see for yourself how great she is.

I was mortified that I had breast cancer. This dr took advantage of my situation & instead of directing me to an oncologist she cut off my breast. She then recommended that I go to an oncologist. When I did he was surprised that I had a mastectomy since I was at stage 0. He told me he would've recommended another treatment. Stay away from this monster.

I had a small cyst removed from my upper left chest wall.I was very specific that I was concerned of the operation as I didn't want it to look bad should I wear a strapless dress.etc.. She told me cutting right at the scar would be the best option. Bottom line-she took too much out & left a noticeable, INDENTION on my chest.Not only can I not wear strapless gowns, I cant wear certain bathing suits,tank tops,jumpsuits.Upon asking the doctor about what happened she was defensive & uncaring!AWFUL
