I am forever grateful to Dr. Klem for performing surgery on my head. I was extremely nervous considering my brain is so close to the Pilar cyst. I ran through a bunch of worst case scenarios. What if the cyst was cancerous? What if there was brain fluid inside? What would my scar look like? Would he leave excess skin so it would look funny? As a man who went bald at 19 and have been shaving my skull for the last 15 years I was worried about the after. I literally just took the scab off my head a week later after a shower and you can not even see the scar with the naked eye! Nothing! It was so well done and perfect and I no longer have a macadamia nut unicorn cyst popping out of my head. For two and a half years people stared at it immediately and I became self conscious of it and now it’s gone and I can move on with my life. I’m so relieved. Surgeons are the closest thing to God on Earth. I’m glad I was recommended to him & I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking care of me. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

Dr Klem listened to my concerns about my medical adhesive allergy, made recommendations and also angled the incision to reduce the visibility of the scar. The surgery was very comfortable for me, Dr Klem provided advice for initial pain relief, and after getting my stitches out I am very pleased with the outcome. Dr Klem and his staff were just wonderful!

Once again I only make my choices for physicians based on their online Google reviews ratings and comments. The same way I eat at a restaurant from Yelp. If someone has a 5 star with 68 reviews in a world where humans don’t hold back their positive and negative opinions then I trust the crowd!

It took him about 3 seconds after listening to my comments, answers and looking at the bulge in my upper stomach to tell me that I did not have a hernia; part of the stomach wall detached from a vertical stomach muscle. No surgery was necessary, it should not cause me any pain in the future whether I continued my gym exercising or not, and lots of people have the same problem as they get older. Fantastic news to my ears!

Doctor Klem was outstanding and very courteous. Would recommend to list constipation as a possible side effect after the hernia surgery so patients can watch for it sooner rather than visiting the ER.
