Patient Reviews
Aug 09, 2018
Dr. Kling is absolutely incredible. She is brilliantly smart, kind and patient. Dr. Kling is wonderful not only with two terribly nervous parents but also my two-year old son. Her expertise allows me to feel as comfortable as possible given the circumstances. I trust my son to her - for me that's the ultimate test. Additionally, her staff is truly spectacular to work with. A+ all around.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
