I've been visiting with Dr. Kline for over 5 years (and a mix of Dr. Hassleman) so he has been involved in almost every thing that has happened with my feet. He's great, I trust his advice, his care and the steps he's taken to help me through the years. I wish I didn't know Dr. Kline, you understand, but I am glad that I do have his service. He's good to me.
