Ever since he was a young boy, Dr. Klein remembers wanting to be an “eye doctor”. He recalls his mother taking him to the family ophthalmologist and claiming ‘that’s what I want to do’, being in awe of all the lights and gadgets. Because of his fondness for the health sciences, technology and inspiration acquired from volunteer work at The Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, his lifelong desire became a reality.
His education culminated in attaining a residency position at the world renowned Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, followed by specialty training in diseases of the cornea, refractive surgery and oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery.
Now in practice locally for over 23 years, Dr. Klein pledges to deliver the highest quality of ophthalmic care. Staying abreast of the latest technology as it develops, he continues to incorporate these newly acquired skills into his daily practice and offers such advances when proven to be safe and effective to his patients.
