Excellent doctor who cured my trigger finger
Dr Klugman is an excellent doctor who cured my trigger fingers. The first time I visited was in 2020 and my right hand finger had a trigger finger. He cured it. Now in 2024 I had trigger finger in my other hand. One injection and am on way to recovery. Friendly, patient in explaining things.

No contest- best I found!
Dr Klugman saved my hand! I had a terrible accident building some columns in my house and had emergency surgery at 1am a few years ago due to the serious infection from the accident . Dr Klugman was on call and he saved my hand. Apart from a great Dr, Jeff is also a real personable person who really cares about his patients. Consequently I went back with non related issues with my other hand and Dr Klugman again came through. Go no further!

Very experienced and knowledgeable
Dr Klugman took care of my daughter s hand injury so it was a no brainer who I wanted to look at my hand injury. After reviewing the description of my hand injury on the intake documents, Dr Klugman needed less than a minute with me to confirm that I sustained a nerve injury. Based on his directions, the staff immobilized my hand and scheduled me for surgery for the following week. Surgery is a significant decision, but Dr Klugman and his staff explained the surgery process, walked me through all the forms, contacted my Health Provider, and explained the phone calls to expect prior to surgery so that I would not cause delays. I received contact by the Anesthesiologist for my scheduled surgery within a couple of hours, which demonstrates how responsive The Hand and Upper Extremity Center of Georgia moves in addressing patient injuries.

He’s very knowledgeable
I appreciate his honesty with my daughter fingers. He made me feel comfortable and one thing I loved was that he didn’t force me to do anything and was able to explain the best option for my daughter. My husband and I are very happy. We still have a few more visits to go before they remove her cast. Thank you so much again.

Consistently Excellent
I have seen Dr. Klugman for two different problems regarding my hands. Both appointments were excellent as Dr. Klugman listened to the issues I was experiencing and within minutes he had diagnosed the problem. Xrays were needed but that was to be expected given the medical issue.I would recommend Dr. Klugman in a heartbeat and his offices/staff in Alpharetta and Cumming go above and beyond to help you heal!

Great Experience
Showed up for my 9:30 appointment and was seen immediately. No wait at all. Dr. Klugman diagnosed my hand pain and explained exactly what was causing the problem. We discussed treatment options and I couldn’t have been happier with my experience and Dr. Klugmans attention to my needs. I already feel improvement.

The staff over the phone was indifferent. The appointment took several calls and call-backs over 30-45 minutes to get set. Dr. Klugman was emotionally tone def. After telling him my 15 year old son was a high athletic recruit, he told him not to even think about going pro (unprovoved). When rushing out of the room, he blurted out instruction to come take a look at X-ray with him. My son asked if he wanted him to come because it was unclear given Dr. Klugman was walking out of the examination room looking at neither of us. Dr. Klugman's reply? "It's your hand. Yeah, you should come". In relation to bedside manner, the doctor told us everything that could possibly go wrong without balancing or weighting probabilities (I had to probe). My son who is very level-headed looked horrified and stressed. Short of the long, I went to another doctor for a second opinion. MUCH better experience than Dr. Klugman's. Maybe it was a bad day for him. For us, a horrible experience.

Forever Lost Client/Patient – Oct 05, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Klugman?
very knowledge, precise doctor which I would expect for a detailed surgeon. He has a tendency to hurry through appt, but if you ask a question he slows down & explains things until you are comfortable. always thinking through all possible complications to get the best outcome. I would pick him to do another surgery without question. What I don't like is the automated check in. I have to put my dl and ins card through a reader and touch screen. The office has this info so sync up with the days appt to make checking in easier and only request new ins info if you check that it is diff than last time you were in. The "check out" person gets overwhelmed easily has a hard time multitasking. I don't like that she rushes through making appt and collecting money is her priority. I like things to go through my ins first and get a bill in the mail. This gives me time to ensure correct, that I can pay from an acct that I want and that it was processed by ins correctly. It is embarrassing

My family doctor referred me to Dr. Klugman after a fall. Had an odd break at my wrist that required a plate and screws. The entire experience was first rate. First contact through hand therapy, his entire team was professional, courteous and competent. He is clearly a great surgeon and very easy to talk to.

Dr. Klugman and his staff are very nice and very kind hearted. I would like to thank Dr. Klugman and his staff for the wonderful care they showed me during my surgery and recovery. I could not have asked for better care after I tore my bicep tendon. They really listened to all of my concerns and took the time to answer all my questions. I can say they really cared how I was doing and I want to thank them again for everything they did for me. My arm is doing great now thanks to Dr. Klugman and his staff. Now its time to book a tee time. thanks, Johnny Edwards

Dr. Klugman and his staff were very nice and knowledgeable to me when I had a cyst taken off of my middle right finger in December of 2017. Even though it seemed like a simple procedure, they made me feel I was very important. Dr. Klugman is a very kind and caring doctor and listened to all concerns I had including arthritis questions. I would definitely recommend Dr. Klugman and his staff.
