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.

Unprofessional
The first few visits were okay. What is concerning is his demeanor. He can turn on you at any time. Several times while waiting for him in the exam room I could hear him yelling at other patients. At one visit he was extremely irritated and confused me with another patient and started yelling at me. I need to see a stable dr that listens is caring and does painless procedures. The stress from this dr is appalong and unacceptable.

Positive All Around
I went for sciatica. This is my 4th or 5th trip. I have never had a bad experience here. The negative reviews are puzzling to say the least. have never experienced any disrespect. He is interested, focused and handles stress really well. He sees people at their worst, and even then he takes the time to try to solve the problem. His staff is accommodating and polite. He is a pain management doctor. He is VERY busy. If he runs late, it is because he is taking care of people. I have nothing but positive reviews and I would recommend without a second thought.

Unstable Man
Dr Kloth is arrogant. I can look past that because when you are in pain you are so desperate for any relief. However, during my appointment he threw my file on the table, wouldn’t look at me, yelled at the staff and stormed away. I was very uncomfortable. I went ahead with the procedure because I needed relief. I received my injection there was no real care if the numbing medication had kicked in. He injected the cortisone quickly which was extremely painful. He doesn’t take time to make painful procedures less painful. Since this experience I have gone to another Dr. that takes care while doing procedures. I thought the procedures had to hurt but they don’t.

He “listens” unlike most doctors who just want to tell you a pat answer formulated before they even walk in. He will continue trying alternative approaches to help find the correct answer for the individual patient. I find him to be outstanding and consider myself fortunate to have found him!

I have been seeing Dr. Kloth for about 5 years. I have several complex autoimmune diseases that cause extensive pain. Dr. Kloth helped me regain a life and has significantly reduced my pain on a day to day level. When I 1st started seeing Dr. Kloth I barely was able to walk or use my right arm and the pain I was in was constant and unbearable. I see many doctors, but Dr. Kloth is the one that gave me back my life and honestly saved me.

Dr. Kloth is the best in the business. He is not only a professional but also personable and realistic. He knows my issues personally and takes great care to make me comfortable in every way. I drive over an hour to see him and it’s worth it! I don’t know what I’d do without him. His staff are highly competent and professional as well. This office specifically is the reason I can not only stand upright but work 50+ hours a week as well.
