University of Maryland Medical Center Hospital

Felt very comfortable and understood what he was saying.

No, it only got better with each visit.

Wonderful and very helpful.

Waiting longer for an appointment tha I wanted.


Each person is different and he doesn't treat you as just another patient.

Appointment after 2 weeks and support group.

Support Group.

Yes, very much so.


99.9% Even if I have to have someother kinds of sugery he will be my surgeon.

Both Great

My Surgeon is a very NO B.S. kind of guy. He gets right to the heart of the issue and leaves NO questions unanswered. He is a highly motivated and energetic individual and that is what I liked best about him. Thre is a lady in his office named Claudia who is wonderful to work with. After my first appointment I had a PERFECT understanding of what I was getting into and the effects it would have on me for the rest of my life. I am very happy that I made the decision to have this operation done and I am happy that I choose Dr Kligman. It took a while for the Dr to complete my paperwork for my insurance company, but as soon as my insurance company received the paperwork I was immediatly oked for the operation. It took 1/2 a day to get my answer and I think that is a pretty decent turnaround. I think that it took me longer to get the surgery scheduled than it took for the insurance company to process the paperwork.

I work at local hospital & wanted a surgeon I could have the most confidence in. I've had previous abdominal surgeries before which complicate things. I known Dr. Kligman's a great trauma surgeon & was thrilled to find out he preformed the bypass surgery. But was sad I had to wait a few weeks to see him. I was very impressed with his secretary claudia. She was very informative & compassionate to my needs. No judgement was ever passed (which was a concern of mine). My initial visit,I was very nervous, but Dr. Kligman & his staff put me at ease right away(all though their not the fastest office in the world). He explained all my options to me & the process in depth. One of my concerns was post op eating instruction, he also explained this to me. With no questions left unanswered, I only had to wait for insurance approval. The letter he wrote to my insurance company was approved in less than one month. When approval came the surgery was schedule at my convience to accomadate my work schedule. I now await my surgery date!! How exciting!!
