Honestly Dr. Kleiman is one of the most caring practitioners I have ever met!! He answers questions thoroughly, is honest, and so sincere. If ever there is someone that was truly meant to be a pediatrician, it's Dr. Kleiman.

Dr klieman is my favorite doctor at the practice I've had him see both my sons and he's very understanding and calming with both children and takes his time and my oldest son was telling him some of his interests and Dr Kliemen sat there and listened and interacted with him even though we were there for my younger son. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor & I try to schedule with him as much as I can working around my schedule & his.

We absolutely love Dr. Kleinman. He listens to my child and always includes him in the visit and just asks me any clarifying questions when needed. Most of the dialogue is between him and my son and no matter the age or question he always takes the time to listen.

Dr. Kleiman was attentive to my concerns with my daughter and included my input into a decision for how to proceed. Dr. Kleiman contacted a social worker for me in an attempt to have them reach out to me and find the best specialist to evaluate. I always leave feeling like my child was cared for, that I was heard and that my children are in good hands.

Dr. Klienman is an excellent doctor. He always answers all my questions, makes me feel comfortable, and is patient with us . I feel comfortable enough to ask any questions as a first time mother without judgment which is important because many healthcare workers have not provided that level of comfort in the past. Also my daughter loves him and looks forward to her appointments even when a shot is needed she is still very happy to see Dr. Kleinman

Dr. Kleiman was great. I've seen many doctors in this practice but my child, who was recently diagnosed with Autism, felt comfortable with Dr. Kleiman and didn't cry or freak out. I appreciate Dr. Kleiman's calm and caring demeanor with my child.

Dr. Dave is the best. We've been coming to the practice for over 23 years and I've always been thrilled when I see Dr. Dave. He's never rushed or abrupt, just pleasant, thorough and competent. Puts my mind at ease and relatable to the kids.

About the Patient Experience Rating System
The Patient Experience Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions shown above from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. We are committed to true transparency. However, to ensure the comments are fair and correctly attributed, we review each one before posting to the website. We exclude entire comments that disclose patient’s protected health information, are off-topic, or include other confidential or inappropriate content. Comments will appear on provider bios only if providers have a minimum number of comments. Comments are shared internally for education purposes to ensure that we are doing our very best for the patients and families for whom we are privileged to care. The comments are submitted by patients and families and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not reflect the views of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
