I used to hike the dish trail 3-4 times a week and had to stop due to a debilitating heel pain. I went to see Dr. Klein. He listened patiently and methodically completed his assessment with all the tools in his office including a mobile ultrasound. I had severe plantar fasciitis, he recommended a three pronged approach for short term solution to get me back on my feet ASAP. I followed all the steps and was back on my feet within a month. For long term, he ordered shoe inserts which I received a couple of weeks ago. I broken them in and I am on my way to resume usual level of activity.

Before seeing Dr. Klein my right foot had become extremely swollen over a period of a couple days - to point where it became almost impossible to walk without enduring massive pain.
Mentioning this to my brother, he suggested I see a podiatrist that had helped him many times.
I have a general fear of doctors, but he reassured me Dr. Klein knows what he's doing, is funny, and has a confidence-inspiring bedside manner.

After years of having yelp, I'm going to write my first review here. Came here for 2 different in-office surgeries on 3 hammertoes and plenty of follow up appts over the course of years and everything went beautifully. I don't know where the other reviews were coming from aside from impatience over waiting? Dr. Klein is very educated and professional, explained after care and answered questions thoroughly, his nurse Mary is thorough and Lana at the front desk has even last-second let me change an appt around and squeezed me in as a walk-in for a quick 15 min follow up when I was unsure

I came in with a newborn and was immediately told there's a 30 minute wait and suggested I go somewhere and come back. Couldn't you call me?
Dr Klein couldn't care less about why I was there for. Didn't ask me any questions about my issue, just took a look at my toenail injury and asked: "what do you want me to do about it?"
I asked: "it keeps looking worse and worse. Could this be an infection?"
He said: "perhaps..." and recommended a $65 cream that you can only buy at his office OTC and insurance does

Most unprofessional experience from a medical professional I have ever had. Thank god I don't have anything life threatening. About 2 months ago I checked into his San Carlos office. A girl was screaming bloody murder and shook everyone in the weight room. When he finally saw me he had the wrong file but his assistant had left and he couldn't find mine. So he waisted my time and said they would call, I never heard from them. I called back after the New Year. I drove to his Mountain View office for a 2:45 appointment. I was early, first thing the same assistant that he was running late

Dr Klein and staff was great! He diagnosed my Mormons Neuroma and started with the least invasive treatments until we discovered that surgery was the best option. He was very attentive, informative and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great podiatrist.

I'm so happy that I found Dr. Klein to treat my Morton's neuroma. I have been suffering for 2+ years with debilitating pain upon any weight bearing on that foot. I started seeking treatment about 2 years ago. I had no success with 3 types of practitioners, first with a different podiatrist, then a Chiropractor specializing in athletic injuries, and last, an Othotist specializing in custom made shoes and orthotics to treat a variety of foot conditions. I even had a cortisone injection directly into the neuroma by my PCP which did not relieve the pain. Thousands of dollars and much frustration later

Dr Steven Klein, is a outstanding podiatrist and exceptional surgeon. After being diagnosed with planter fasciitis and a long year of different treatments, I finally was referred to Dr Klein's facility where he quickly gave a different opinion of tarsal tunnel syndrome. Once, I went through the process of actually knowing what the issues were he moved forward aggressively with a treatment plan. During this process I was informed of all possible options and was given the necessary equipment for a successful recovery, unfortunately surgery was needed and successful.

Although they are outdated, I am surprised to see bad reviews. Two months ago, I tore ligament off of my right ankle. Honestly I found this office at the last minute and without any research. I am not fully recovered from the injury, but I can see the difference. The receptionist is very friendly and the doctor is kind of person you can depend on. I have not been to other offices but can say the money is worth. After all you are paying to get better. I do not understand the bad reviews. I highly recommend anyone to see this doctor, it takes time and money but is definitely worth it.

I would like to thank Dr. Klein for fixing my severely broken toe. He put my toe back in place in one try ( when the ER doctors at El Camino wasted four hours and couldn't fix my toe after four very painful attempts at reducing my severe break). If every doctor were as competent as Dr. Klein, I wouldn't need to write this review. But most doctors are mediocre ( at best) and see the patient as a money making vehicle, rather than a person who needs medical attention. Dr. Klein saw me immediately, he treated me with kindness and compassion, and my total charge for casting, xrays, medical

I did not see Dr. Klein, but just a call to his office compelled me to write this review. The lady who attended the call has unbelievably rude manners over the phone. I think the idea of customer service is certainly alien to her. One cannot be anymore curt and cold to a client. Based on my experience, even if Dr. Klein is the best doctor in town, I do not want to step into his office as long as he employs such unprofessional staff.

Doctor looked at the ankle and did all the tests related. He proceeded with the treatment gradually and patiently. Pain slowly reduced, but did not go away. He recommended couple of options and discussed the pros and cons. When I had a problem with the second ankle, he did not even look at it for some reason. That is my only complaint.
Overall, he is a good doctor as he was considerate about the pain and took the procedure step by step.

Melanie...I'm with you. The exact same thing happened to me. They are WAY OVERPRICED! The charges are ridiculous. My insurance got billed for the same as yours did for orthotics (1000+) AND for services they didn't even do. I called them but was NOT satisfied with their answer for all the ridiculous prices. I won't be going back to them. How do you spell shady?

WAY OVERPRICED. This doctor's office is a rip off. I have insurance but only had three appointments, and have paid nearly $1,000. Looking at the breakdown of what they billed my insurance company, what they call "muscle testing" and billed $120 for, was actually asking me to flex my feet for a few seconds. You're kidding me, right?
I got orthotics and went in to get them. Appointment took 15 minutes and consisted of the doctor's assistant putting in the orthotics (basically like insoles) in my sneakers and this strenuous process was billed at $360. I do not
