Dr. Klatt is great! This was my second time to be evaluated by him in the last two and a half years, and both times he showed great care and expertise and took the time to answer all my questions to my satisfaction. I feel very fortunate to be under his care and I'm grateful my PCP referred me to him.

I have already recommended Dr. Klatt to several friends and family. He is top notch in my book! He saved my life in more ways then replacing my knees. He encouraged me to quit smoking and set me up with the resources to quit smoking. Shout out to Dr.Klatt his team both at office and hospital. What a super experience especially being a first ever surgery.

He never reviewed not only my records from here but also from UNC Chapel Hill and again inept attitude to "forward me to another physican" passing the buck aka patient. Extremely disrespectful and unprofessional

This visit was a 10 year checkup of my right hip replacement. So it was not an emergency. Still the long wait time was not acceptable. However, the good news was that there were no issues with my hip replacement and I am thankful for Dr Klatt's excellent service.

I already have referred and will continue
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/13/2023
He rushed through everything, didn't even review the X-rays with me, and didn't listen to what I was saying. He seemed like a very friendly guy, but moved way too fast and just decided what was wrong without really asking me.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/1/2023
Hard to judge. Doctor spent less than five minutes with me
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/23/2023
As I said the appointment was rush be due to the delay of him getting into the room. I like the doctor but it was too rush this time!

Always a pleasure working with DR. Klatt and his staff
