Louis A Klein, MD

I have been seeing Dr Klein since he delivered my daughter in 2001. He is a great doctor with a sense of humor and in his field very much needed. He is compassionate and caring and loves to joke around with his patients which I feel makes your uncomfortable appointment more relaxing and takes your mind off things. Lets face it no one looks forward to their OB GYN appt right! If you are looking for a serious office that treats you like a patient and not a person then keep looking. Thank you, Dr Klien and staff for being great the past 14 years.

This office deserves no stars whatsoever. This is the most unprofessional medical office I have ever been to and I am in disbelief that people actually come to this office. Majority of the medical staff is unprofessional and don’t have a sense for patient care especially the medical assistant that barged into my room without knocking when I was half undressed on the exam table waiting for the doctor. And to top it off, she didn’t introduce herself nor apologize for barging in. She just rummaged through the drawers and once she couldn’t find what she was looking for, left and slammed the door. Apparently no one taught her manners and proper etiquette. I don’t know how people like that have a job, let alone hold a job in patient care. Sad sad sad!
And what kind of office makes a 33 week pregnant woman drop off their own lab specimen to the hospital? Don’t offices have a courier for that? And to make it worse, the lady who works in the back office of dr kleins office has the nerve to call me once I get home and with a major attitude accuses me of not dropping off my specimen correctly because I refused to check in at admitting! No one told me to check into admitting and why are u making your patients drop off their own lab specimens anyway? What a joke this office is. And this lady needs a major attitude adjustment. Once again, don’t know how ppl like this are in patient care. To top that off, she said they won’t run my specimen now and if I want it ran, I have to come back! Screw you! Then has the nerve to ask me if I’m having contractions? Ummmm, that’s why I got the specimen drawn! I’m having contractions and have severe abdominal pain and your office made me walk my own specimen over! She has no common sense!
And the icing on the cake is how unprofessional the Doctor is. What kind of doctor makes sexual innuendos to his patients? He made comments about having an orgasm on my first visit and told my husband he was unimportant. Wtf?! I was appalled at what was coming out of his mouth. And on my second visit, You were over an hour late to see me, and come into the room with an attitude. He tells me «sorry, it’s just so happened you ended up behind a patient that had too many problems.» Why are you bad mouthing your patient? And the walls are so thin, that I could hear everything they were talking about in the next room. Isn’t that a hipaa violation? SMH! It makes me wonder what he says about all his patients. Maybe that’s why you have an office full of ppl that have no compassion for patients. I don’t know how they are still in business. And once he learned that my specimen won’t be ran at the lab, he called and stated «well there’s not much I can do for you. I don’t think you’re having contractions anyway so you’ll be fine. If you want it ran, you have to come back!» Screw you! I just went through the worst visit of my life, 33 weeks pregnant, stressed out and in pain and that’s all you have to say? You’re a joke and so is your office!

I loved my time with Dr Klein and I’m definitely coming back. He was with me every step of the way! The ladies in the front office are very sweet and helpful.

As a returning patient of Dr Klein I can tell you the following: He is a human being first and a businessman second which is the way it should be. What do I mean by that? I mean that his humanity guides his work and his practice. He is one of the «true doctors“still around in our ever changing world. I am certain he is not in it for the money but truly wants to help. He sees his patients as whole and important human beings and gives each one of them the time they need. i have never been rushed or made to feel as if the doctor was in a hurry to finish with my appointment. Actually I am amazed by the time that he spends with me and the care he takes to answer all of my questions and alleviate all of my concerns. I have found him to be a very compassionate human being.
In addition, he continues to remain informed about latest medical developments and advances in the field. He keeps up with the new information and continues to study. He has recently published articles, for example, on matters related to hormones, to mention one. I don’t know about the rest of you but I for one appreciate going to a doctor who continues to write and to publish and when I can also read what that doctor has written.
He has a great sense of humor, and is no doubt a dying breed. If you want punctuality and mechanic precision, go elsewhere. If you want an appointment with a doctor who will listen to you, care about you and give you all the time that you need, then go to Dr. Klein. Frankly, I wish I could clone him. His front desk manager Freddie is kind, attentive, reliable and a pleasure to deal with. She made me feel welcome and comfortable from day one. I thank Dr. Klein, Freddie and the rest of the staff. Great job folks!

I will be 100% honest. Initially, I called the office to see Dr Rose as a new patient, they share an office and I was following Unilocal reviews. I had an immediate issue and Dr Klein had appointments that would be sooner, so I said ok.
Best decision ever.
I have never felt uncomfortable with Dr Klein and he has been nothing but helpful. Yes, he does have a particular brand of humor, but really, going to an obgyn is unpleasant enough, I appreciate him cracking a joke. Maybe it is a personality thing, but I’ve never had an issue. I have never felt rushed, he always listens to my concerns, and he makes sure I am well informed and comfortable with every plan of action. It’s rare to find an ob/​gyn that doesn’t run in and out of the room before you can ask a question. He has squeezed me in, skipped lunch, even offered to meet me on the weekend during his on-​call rotation if need be.
I’ve had to bring my toddler to appointments and he is always kind to her, too. As a SAHM, it is pretty awesome that he didn’t bat an eye at her sitting with me during an exam. It allows me to get the medical care I need without having to track down and pay for sitters (which would normally mean a lot more hassle or even skipping care).
Shout out to his super sweet nurse Sonia and the woman that makes appointments (super sorry, I don’t think I’ve gotten your name yet). They are always great to work with. Yes, the wait time can be long and phone calls can be tricky, but they have always returned calls promptly (same day). I know if I’m waiting that the doc is either across the street delivering a baby or making sure another patient is getting the same level of thorough care that I enjoy. I can’t fault them on that! It’s not like some offices where you can see the doctor just sitting there while you wait. The waiting room is pretty comfy with a TV and fruit-​infused water.

If there was an option for no stars I would give it to him. He is the most unprofessional doctor and should not be able to practice.
I went to Dr. Klein because I was referred to him by the urgent care in the same building as his practice. The first thing that got to me was how long you would have to wait to be seen. Now I know your appt. are not always on time but this waiting was 30 – 45 minutes after my scheduled time. Second I was in my waiting room for an hour waiting to be seen while he was in his office blabbing to a client. It was so long that I almost got up and left. Not only that his staff member had to remind him that I was waiting and there was no sympathy or remorse when he came in. The very last straw that made me leave was a comment that he had said to me my last visit with him. I was 34 weeks pregnant and he had to check my cervix. There was only him and I in his room as he did my exam no one else which I though was weird. As he went to do my exam he said, «is anyone else allowed in here besides me?» I was in shock and froze. This comment made me feel so dirty and violated. I left my exam feeling like what just happened. That day after frantically trying to find an OB to take me (mind you I was 34 weeks and no one would take me as I was too far along) I finally found one that was sympathetic to my story! I got a phone call from a staff member asking why I was leaving. I told her what had happened and her exact words were «oh ya he says that to a lot of our patients.» I was shocked! It was like she had laughed it off! This guy will never be able to say anything like that to me again and I hope after this he won’t be able to say it to anyone else! Especially to a young girl!

My beloved gyn retired and Dr. Klein, her recommended colleague, agreed to take over all of her patients, should they wish to go to him. I have to say that I did not actually meet him. On my way driving there, his office called to say he had an emergency, could we reschedule. When I returned 3 hours later, he had another emergency. That’s fine; sure, it was inconvenient (especially since I don’t live close by), but doctors have emergencies. When, after already waiting 45 minutes, the truly unfriendly, unsmiling young nurse brought me into a room and said she thought it’d be at least another 20 minutes, I chose to leave.
In truth, I just didn’t get a good vibe from the place. It was really really busy there, there were a lot of young pregnant girls and their bf’s there, everyone looked absolutely miserable, and there was a big-​screen TV blaring some talk show. It just didn’t make me feel the kind of relaxed I want to feel when I go to any doctor, let alone a first visit to a new male ladies’ doctor.
When I got home, Dr. Klein himself had left a message for me, apologizing for what happened. He sounded genuine, and, certainly, he didn’t have to call. That let me know that he had awareness and a sense of care for his patients. I would give him 4 stars for that phone call and 0 for the atmosphere, so I’m giving 2 as the median.
In any case, after all is said and done, it’s not the right practice for me.

My wife took an appointment with Klein because her regular doctor was on vacation. She needed an emergency procedure and could not wait for her doctor to return. Although Klein was polite in his office– I got the impression he was little more than an educated car salesman. He was very impersonal and cold towards my wife; who was nervous and emotional during the procedure. He seemed to be in a rush and had repeatedly stated he was doing us and our doctor a favor by seeing my wife. Unfortunately, we did not get up and leave, like we should have done. I would NOT recommend this doctor to anyone.

Best Doctor In area! Actually he takes his time to explain things to patient. Must read his book and it’s free:) Believe me you don’t want a doctor who come to your exam room for one minute and run.

I saw Dr. Klein about 5 years ago. He said some things to me that were untrue and unfounded. Then, he tried to sell me a book he wrote. I left his office feelling vulnerable and exposed, not cared for. I switched doctors immediately. It seems from these reviews that his patients feel very strongly one way or the other about him, and I am guessing this is due to personality types. I for one, would not recommend him.

Although I do agree that the wait at times can be very long, but Dr. Klein is an amazing doctor. He delivered my first child back in 1996 and I’ve been his patient since. He is very thorough in explaining everything, he is compassionate and does take every thing that is going on in your life into consideration. He is super personable and its not the kinds of doctor to push you out in a hurry as most doctors would. It sucks how some of you gave him a 1 star, he really is a great doctor.

I switched to Dr. Klein in my 2^nd trimester and I couldn’t have been happier. I debated about a VBAC or C-​section and he supported both.
Yes, you do end up waiting a long time, but its because they never rush a patient out. They take the time to answer every single question and focus entirely on the patients when its their turn. I

I left this office, today, shaking and in tears. I was shocked at the amount of unprofessionalism and lack of courtesy for patient care displayed by Dr. Klein and his staff.
Today was my second visit with Dr Klein. My first experience was for an urgent matter regarding my pregnancy. I had gone in for constant ligament pain, something that I hadn’t experienced with my two pregnancies prior. I waited for 1 hour past my scheduled appointment time to be seen. When Dr. Klein finally got to me, he entered the room without knocking, made some smart remark and then introduced himself. He diagnosed me with a «hernia» without even touching or examining me, and suggested I see a general surgeon. I left the office feeling more confused and uneasy than when I arrived. The next day, my pain was gone. Certainly not a hernia.
Today’s appointment was regarding my 29 week routine check up. I pulled into the parking garage 15 minutes prior to my appointment and saw Dr. Klein arrive at the same time. I loaded up my two younger kids (3 & 1), checked in, went to the restroom, and waited. 20 minutes past my appointment time, I got up to confirm with the woman at the desk that my appointment was indeed at 10am (I was the only patient in the office and still hadn’t been seen). She brushed me off and said they’d be with me shortly. I was eventually led back to the patient room, kids in stow, where I sat for an additional 40 minutes. By this time my 1 year old had started to fuss, my three year old was restless, and I was livid. I asked my 3 yet old to grab her things and walked out of the office without ever being seen by Dr. Klein. As I left, Dr. Klein rushed out of his office saying, «are you Nancy?», to which I replied, «yes I’m sorry I have to go, we will not be coming back here ever again». He then went on to say «I can see you now…».
I will never return to this office. Again, I can not express enough my utter shock at the amount of unprofessionalism and lack of courtesy displayed by Dr. Klein and his staff. By the time I left, it was 11:15. I had waited for one hour and 15 minutes to be seen. No pregnant woman, especially with two young children, should have to be succumbed to this kind of behavior. Please save yourself a trip and look elsewhere for an OBGYN! I could only imagine what Dr. Klein would be like while you’re actually in labor!

I’ve been a client of Dr. Kleins for about 9 – 10 years now. I’m 34 weeks pregnant and about to have my second c-​section with Dr. Klien.
I cant say enough about his patience, kindness, and intelligence. No question I ever have is too crazy, he always has an answer. His office staff are about the nicest people you’ll ever meet. The entire office keeps such a calming, fun atmosphere going that even when you go into the office feeling like a giant uncomfortable pregnant woman you almost instantly get in a better mood. I have had to wait a few times in the office, but this is only because one of the doctors would be called out across the street to take care of another woman in labor. So I cant really fault them for putting us girls in labor first! I would hope that If I was across the street having an emergency they would run to my aid as well! Wouldn’t all of you?
He has another doctor in his office, Dr. Rose. So when you go into your appointments you alternate between the two doctors. Dr. Rose is extremely adorable, knowledgeable and seems to have the same calming effect as Dr.Klein.
When he delivered my son 8 years ago, there were complications and we had to do a c-​section at the last minute. He was not far from John Muir and was ready to go. I would highly recommend this office to anyone having a baby. They really make the entire experience less stressful and more enjoyable.

If you value your life or your unborn child do NOT see this a hole! My whole experience with him was terrible but come delivery day he decides to play «whos going to have a baby first» Takes off on my to help another patient while im in mid push. Needless to say I almost lost me life as well as my child’s life. This man should be in jail and should be disbarred! Please save yourself from what I went through! I would not wish it upon my worst enemy.

I do not recommend this place. Both times I went there I waited for 45 min or more. They could have given me a heads up by phone that I would be waiting that long so I could be at work rather than in the doctors waiting room. Second, while the doc was checking everything he was talking about setting me up with his son. No I do not want to meet your son after you look down there thanks for the offer. Third he prescribed me a trial birth control instead of the one I was on prior and I had to return two months later and sit in the office forever again so that I could go back to the one I was on. Not a good experience doc.

I have been a patient of Dr. Klein’s for 4 years now. I am 38 years old with 6 kids and Dr. Klein delivered my 6^th child. He made me feel comfortable and actually took the time to listen and address each of my concerns (which there were many of) without making me feel like I was overreacting or wasting his time. He is extremely thorough and never rushes through our appointments. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I must give a shout out to Dr. Klein. Although I no longer see him (for reasons completely unrelated to him), he was one of my ob’s during my very high risk pregnancy. He has a very funny, quirky sense of humor, which might not play out with some people, but he was definitely my «cup of tea». When I would freak out, he would calm me down by making jokes. He was also very instrumental in saving my life when I had a life-​threatening complication during my delivery-​believe me, he’s a consumate professional when the going gets rough. In addition, his office team of caring, professional women should be «the model» and the standard for the obgyn industry. They were incredibly caring, sensitive, and funny. Thanks for everything Dr. Klein!

I would not recommend Dr. Klein at all. Had irregular bleeding he immeditely wanted remove my uterus. He gave me birth control pills, gave me such a bad side effect bleed more, went back he said he never heard of it. He is the worst OBGYN I have ever seen. Went to another OBGYN he had corrected my problem so simple and said everything hDr. Klein did to me was incorrect. Plus Hystercomy he does it old fashion way. He also have a terriable personality, he was pushing me to have heystercomy. I didn’t need that at all.

I have been a patient of Dr. Klein’s for about 10 years. He is an experienced doctor who takes the time to answer questions and has a relaxed manner to help his patients feel comfortable. Recently when I needed some assistance over the weekend, I was relieved when I heard that Dr. Klein was on call. He promptly returned my call on a weekend evening and followed through to assist me. I can recommend Dr. Klein and his staff without hesitation.
