I had a great experience with Dr. Klavan, the rest of the staff and the office in general. Dr. Klavan was extremely friendly, well spoken and a good listener. The office was very clean and the staff were all warm and welcoming. They took my blood samples during my appointment and gave me clear instructions for next steps. I would I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great gastroenterologist!
