Dr. Kligman is fantastic!!! He has a great sense of humor. I had absolutely NO complications from my surgery. I would recommend this doctor to anyone looking for a great bariatric surgeon!
Dr. Klingman is a great surgeon. His office is great and quick to respond. Dr. klingman makes sure that you have all the information and education needed to make a decision on bypass surgery. There wasn't anything negative to say about Klingman.He is professional and about business, I knew i was in good hands through my whole 7 month inital process. We now have years to share together,
My Xoctor was the best I could ask for. Dr. Kilgman explained everything and offered his services at every point in my preparation and after surgery. I could not find anything about him that I could flat. He took his time to make sure that I was knowledgable and comfortable every step of the way. His nut was also the best.
Dr. Kligman is one of the doctors as well as the Director of University of Maryland's Center for Weight Management and Wellness. The level of service I have had with him and his office staff has been wonderful. Never have they made me feel that I've called too much and they have always been there to answer all my questions. Dr. Kligman and his staff don't just leave you when you've had your surgery. From the mandatory presurgery informational classes through your yearly checkups, they stick by your side. He was professional and will never sugar coat you, your progress or his expectations. I have spoken to other patients of theirs and no one has a bad word to say. Your health is their main concern and it shows. The only downside I can say is when I don't follow the plan laid out for you he holds me accountable. Well that's a downside for me not him. I would recommend him and his center for anyone who is considering bariatric surgery.
Mary B. is a fantastic nutritionist who really cares about her clients. She is knowledgeable, concerned, kind and considerate. She is a very positive coach and a true source for all kinds of bariatric information.
My first impression of Dr. Kligman was that he is very knowledgeable about and experienced in bariatric surgery. He appeared very confident in his abilities and had a strong opinion about what procedures were acceptable, taking into account risks versus benefits. He is not a \"warm, fuzzy\" kind of surgeon, but will hold you to your part of the treatment agreement, and actually has patients complete a thorough true/false test (and go over any wrong answers before surgery) and sign a treatment contract. rnrnHis office staff, including the nurse practitioner, RN, nutritionist and clerical staff, are very knowledgeable as well - several of whom have undergone bariatric surgery. They respond quickly to telephone calls and make follow-up appointments immediately after surgery for 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. They go over all risks and benefits of the surgery, and review possible complications prior to discharge from the hospital. They WANT you to call them for any problem, and to go to their ER should there be any emergency as they feel most hospitals do not understand the anatomy and physiology of bariatric surgery.rnrnOverall, I rate him as an excellent surgeon.

My first impression of Doctor Kligman was that he was very professional. After hearing him at his seminar...I was 100% sure that he was the surgeon I was going with. Dr Kligman was very thorough regarding all the proceedures and risks that were involved with the surgery. (I appreciate that very much) His complete staff was absolutely wonderful...each and everyone of them. They ALL were of great help to me. There are so many doctors to choose from, and each doctor has his calling...whether it is his bedside manner or his surgical competence. Doctor Kligman has both...he is an EXCELLENT surgeon/doctor and cares about his patients to the extreme. He is tough...but knows what he is doing and that is all you need to suceed. Follow Dr. Kligman's steps and you will suceed. Thanks Dr. Kligman and thanks to your staff for a job well done.
(my surgery date was on Sept 22 of 2009)
