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.

Dr Kloster is amazing, his surgery team too
Dr. Kloster and his team at the surgery center is amazing. I would definately recommend him to anyone needing his services. He is genuinely caring and professional. Thank you to everyone who cared for me before and after my surgery.

Don't give up!
I have been going to Dr. Kloster for several years. I was referred again and I had forgotten how caring he was and staff. Importantly, I had given up and was going to live with the new pain I was having.I went in and Dr. Kloster explained to never give up even though it will be permanent pain; he explained different options we are going to try. My first option was epidural and some pain meds. I do not like pain meds because of side effects. I go again in two weeks and I feel so much better. Staff is amazing and work with their patients concerns. Just call and do it!

Good Professional
I was referred to Dr Kloster by my orthopedic surgeon for post-op knee pain. At the time of the referral I was told that he does not connect with some people. This is obvious from some of the comments here. However, after visiting him as a patient, I found that there was no basis for these claims. He treated me with respect and really wanted to help. He does tell it like it is which some people have difficulty dealing with reality. I also found Dr Kloster to be a rather entertaining individual. Most important, as I am a scientist, Dr Kloster used science based modalities to treat his patients. I am glad I went to him!

Great & Knowledgeable Dr.
I so appreciate Dr. Kloster's candor, knowledge and explanation of services. He tells you like it is, but knows his stuff. When patients say the appt is rushed, it's because he is booked solid and on a tight schedule, due to everyone wanting an appt.

MS MARGO H – Jul 06, 2022

Dr Koster insisted on treatment with an epidural during my two visits with him. I have had 10+ previous epidurals with no success and clearly expressed that. I heard the Dr and nurse whispering before entering my exam room (I had complained about a nurse following my first visit and that was their discussion). His "explanation" of back pain and description of my condition was canned (I heard him say the exact same thing In a private medical device presentation the next day). His explanation was delivered very rapidly. I am educated and fully capable of understanding my diagnosis I was never given a chance for input or serious discussions regarding alternatives other that "HIS epidural" (his words not mine). Currently my main concerns are numbness of the R foot and RARE but repeated episodes of lumbar pain. I would be surprised if the numbness is mentioned anywhere in my record with Dr Kloster. The animosity occurred after a phone discussion with a nurse (Lori) at the office who

horrible experience. The first time I met him he seemed to be in a big rush, talked about the spinal stimulator but I didn't want to do anything that extreme yet. After trying various medications that didn't work and had bad side effects, I was ready to try it. The nurse told me they would get they request to the insurance company and it would probably take a month before they approved it. I waited a month and finally called the insurance company. Dr Kloster's staff had never sent anything to the insurance company!!! He has a business office that takes care of that but when I call them, they never answer the phone and they never return my calls. I had to call the clinic and bug the nurse there to get the request filed, which took another week. The insurance co promptly denied it. The nurse said Dr Kloster would send in appeal, 3 weeks later, nothing. I wasted 6 months with this doctor, his business office is unhelpful, they don't care about patients, go elsewhere!

Dear Dr. Kloster, My wife & I love you, especially me because you told me that the Verti-Flex surgery would really help me if I had Medicare to cover it. On March 8, 2021 you had that surgery done to me. You said it would help with a lot of my problems and it has. It has really helped me big time since I no longer need to use catchers & having pads in my underwear to collect my urine. I have put up with that for years having to run to a bathroom & use a catcher & keeping a pad in my underwear but now I am a regular guy that can now use any restroom because I am now catcher free. Blue Cross/Blue Shield would not allow me to have that procedure saying it is experimental when it was approved by the FDA. They only wanted save money. You can tell them they did not save money because every month they paid $495.00 for catchers for a long time. Sincerely, Joseph Ernst Zubeck, II

I ve struggled with back pain and back docs for five years. Dr Kloster is an answer to prayer. Kind, direct and a definite can do attitude. His staff were great too! I feel for the first time, someone has the answer and IS going to help me. This is not factory medicine and I can’t wait for how I progress. He wasted no time starting to help me!!

I'm a RN, and I've read every review before I expressed my own. This is a different time in this country related to pain mgmt. I've been around the block a couple hundred times personally and professionally. So far, I'm deeply grateful to have found Dr Kloster and his staff of nurses. They are overworked and underpaid, but I can tell from the look in his eyes that to relieve pain is his passion. His staff are the same. They may double & triple book, but that is so they can try to meet everyone's needs. Heck yes I recommend him and his staff. It's becoming harder to find anyone who genuinely cares. No one wants to treat pain anymore thanks to the FDA. I'm so thankful he's there!
