Dr. Stephen Klepner, MD

Dr. KLEPNER was excellent from the consultation up to my surgery. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a good surgeon.

Dr. Klepner we clear in explaining the procedure I was having. I was nervous when my PCP told me I had a hernia and I needed to consult a surgeon. After five minutes with Dr. Klepner, I was at ease. He touched base with me before I went into the OR and explained things once again. I highly recommend him.

My husband went to Dr. Klepner for hernia surgery and he was fantastic. Not only is he a super nice guy, he’s a great doctor. He explained step by step what kind of hernia my husband had and how surgery would work. He spoke with both me and my husband the day of surgery before starting and spoke with us after surgery. The surgery went so well my husband was back to work in 4 days. Can’t thank him enough!!

I went to the ER with severe abdominal pain. Turns out I had a perforation and abscess in my colon. Dr Klepner was the surgeon on call He was very confident and compassionate knowing I was afraid He performed an emergency temporary colostomy and I was in good hands. I have since had the colostomy reversed by Dr Thomas Lake, in the same practice. I have nothing but the highest regard for both of these surgeons and would recommend them. Their PA Rob took amazing care of me in the hospital as well.

I needed to have my gallbladder removed after a painful gallstone attack required a hospital stay. Dr. Klepner visited me in the hospital and I was comforted by his bedside manner, compassion, and empathy, listening to my concerns and fears. He performed the surgery a few weeks later with the gallbladder removal performed skillfully. He reported the outcome to my husband in the waiting room less than an hour after the surgery began and answered all questions. He was also excellent on my follow up visit to his Oakhurst office with its friendly and efficient staff. Any surgery is scary. I was in good hands with Dr. Klepner!

Pleasant staff and doctor. Took time with me. Explained things thoroughly. Very nice bedside manner. Not rushed. Will be performing robotic surgery on two hernias.

I woke up on Sunday morning with abdominal pain. Went to the ER. Lots of tests were done. I was told it was my hernia (that I've had for about 8 years). I was told that they called in a surgical consult. Come Monday afternoon I still have not seen a surgeon but I was told surgery was scheduled. I told the primary care team that I was not going to have surgery without meeting the surgeon. I then asked if I could get a different surgeon. I saw Dr. Klepner within an hour. He already reviewed all tests and had a plan. I saw him one more time that day and again the next morning before surgery. Everything was explained perfectly twice. He was very pleasant, confident, made me feel that I made the right choice. Surgery was a success! I would highly recommend Dr. Klepner!
