I need to apologize because I was a little abrupt. But I waited an hour in the waiting room with a lady pacing the floor on her phone. I already had a sinus headache and it just added to it. Doctor was pleasant and a lot more courteous than I was. He gave me the options and we decided on the one that will work for me.🤗

Dr. Klassen took the time to carefully examine my injury and explain the details of it to me. Taking my lifestyle/hobbies into account, he educated me on the treatment options I had and the respective possible outcomes. His explanations were easy to comprehend, which left me feeling confident in my decision to have surgery.
Thank you Dr. Klassen for getting me back to what I love most — running!
