Patient Reviews

Dr. Klifto is one of the best and most caring physicians I've ever met.
Dr. Klifto is among the most highly qualified surgeons I have ever had the privilege to be a patient of.
Dr Klifto knows my physical therapist and the surgeon who did the earlier surgery and about the ultra sound dealing with the torn rotor cuff. Appreciate that!
Dr. Klifto is wonderful!!! He repaired my fractured wrist perfectly and has agreed to care for my shoulder. I would highly recommend him. I trust him implicitly to operate on my shoulder when necessary.
Amazing bedside manner, kind and seemed very intuitive
The nurses and doctor klifto are really good
