As the son of a psychiatrist, I grew up learning to recognize when help is needed. During a particularly complex and stressful situation, I worked with Dr. Klein and I give him my full endorsement. Throughout my time with him, he was readily available and he helped me navigate through a very complex ordeal. I give Dr. Klein full marks and highly recommend his services.
