My late Mother was Dr. Klickman’s patient for several years. She also saw him at the wound center in Gaffney for a period of time. We were very satisfied and the results were very positive. Dr. Klickman is my primary care doctor and I would, and have recommended him to friends and family.

I have never known Dr Klickman to be rude or short with anyone. He is a Christian man. He is very knowledgeable. He always takes the time to answer any questions. He also has a great staff, from the office to the nurses. Several people in my family choose to see Dr Klickman because of his warm disposition, knowledge and frankness if needed.

He might be a good geriatric physician in Gaffney but he was cold,rude and smart mouthed when I saw him in the Wound Center at SRMC.I waited two months and was number 28 in line for an appointment.Besides a liturgy of nasty snide remarks he had the nerve to say “What took you so long to get here”.There are some great physicians at the wound center but he isn’t one of them. I happened to find my instructions on My Chart weeks later.My PCP said he would be a waste of time.He was correct
