Phenomenal Surgeon
Wonderful experience with Dr. Kline. Dr. Kline is a wonderful surgeon, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I am so glad I was referred to her office. She took one look at my CT scan and knew it was cancer, even though other tests did not diagnose the same. I am so glad I put my faith in Dr. Kline. I would highly recommend Dr. Kline to anyone who was looking for a thoracic surgeon.

I tried to write a recommendation for Dr. Kline but I just could not express in words how she saved my life. I had Stage 3 esophageal cancer and totally relied on Dr. Kline to get me through. Dr. Kline performed a complete re-sectioning of my stomach and removed most of my esophagus, as well as many lymph nodes to assure no cancer remained. I was treated like royalty by every person that took care of me. I was told because I was Dr. Kline's patient and she demands the best for her patients.

Dr. Kline performed a surgery on me after I had radiation & Chemo therapy. Other then being knowledgeable and skillful she was also a great source of encouragement to my family and I. From pre-surgery to post-surgery she was always helpful and informative. I did a lot of research prior to choosing Dr. Kline and she lived up to all my expectations as a surgeon however, it was her heart and attitude that brings me to my conclusion that she is a great surgeon.
