“Dr. Kleyner was attentive and very friendly. I recommend her office to anyone that needs a foot doctor.”
Nicole A.February 21, 2025
“Exceptional Foot Specialist – Highly Recommend Dr. Kleyner!
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Dr. Kleyner. From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless—there was no wait time, and the office staff was friendly and efficient.
Dr. Kleyner is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain my condition in a way that was easy to understand. She was patient, attentive, and never made me feel rushed. What I appreciated most was her honest and practical approach—she never pushed unnecessary medications or surgery but instead focused on effective, personalized solutions.
Her bedside manner is truly exceptional. She is warm, compassionate, and genuinely cares about her patients’ well-being. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines such expertise with kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend Dr. Kleyner to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy foot specialist!”

September 14, 2019Jennifer P.Verified patient
The doctor was great. Very personable, knowledgeable, spent time answering my questions. The wait time was very long- just over an hour. They were supposed to call my insurance to recommend me for an MRI and I have not heard from my insurance. This was two weeks ago. I called the office last week to make sure they called my insurance and they couldn't give me an answer. They told me they would call me back and never did. I called again this morning explaining this frustrating situation AGAIN but again have to wait for someone to call me back.
June 27, 2018Zari E.Verified patient

May 3, 2017Houda H.Verified patient
Dr. Kleyner was easy to talk to, thorough and addressed my issue quickly and answered my questions clearly. It was a little annoying to have to redo patient info after inputting it all in ZocDoc, but alas, guess that happens sometimes. I'm glad I found a female podiatrist in my neighborhood.
March 27, 2017Laura G.Verified patient
Dr. Kleyner saw me as soon as I arrived. She was were professional and pleasant. She was also extremely knowledgeable and had a lovely bedside manner.

I would recommend her to anyone looking for a podiatrist! I had a wonderful experience.
More than 1 year agoRita B.Verified patient
Efficient, knowledgeable, communicative, reassuring . . . exactly what one wants in a doctor of any kind. I absolutely recommend her.
September 7, 2016Joyce Z.Verified patient
The address listed is incorrect, they relocated to an office 6-7 blocks away -for someone with foot pain that's a long distance to walk! No one called to confirm the appointment or to relate new location. Staff is unfriendly including the physician. They didn't take my referral even though it's the same kind of referral I used with my previous podiatrist and my insurance covered my visits- and it took them 45 mins to tell me that even though I was the ONLY patient there. So after taking the time to go to thier location on no sleep (i have a newborn three weeks old) exhausted and in physical pain they didn't see me. Oh well...going back to my old podiatrist, at least he's nice and takes my referrals!
April 29, 2016Cynthia H.Verified patient
She is super professional and takes her time to explain everything to you. She is gentle and patient. The appointment was easy to make and the office was somewhat calming, since every time I went there wasn't a waiting room filled with people (makes me antsy). Overall she was great, thorough, and I'm glad to have followed the good reviews and booked my appt with her.

Fantastic doctor, thorough and very nice Resolved my situation in a couple of visits. I had seen two other doctors in the area, where I did not have the same success as with Dr. Kleyner I highly recommend her.
October 9, 2015Marla C.Verified patient
Dr Kleyner was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I came in for a minor procedure and was pleasantly surprised with everything. She explained everything thoroughly and had a very nice bedside manner. I came to the office nervous and left completely at ease.
Everyone in the office was also very nice and helpful.
I would definitely recommend Dr Kleyner to anyone in need of a Podiatrist.
October 15, 2015Rachel D.Verified patient
My only complaint is that dr Kleyner is an in network Doctor, but somehow Hamilton podiatry (where she works) is not. They submitted a bill to insurance for my insoles under Hamilton podiatry and they weren't covered so I paid out of pocket. They resubmitted the claim under dr Kleyner and they were covered. How is the facility a doctor works for out of network but the actual Doctor is in network???
November 18, 2015Raven J.Verified patient
Dr. kleyner's office experience was all around pleasurable. I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes before someone brought me into a room. Dr. Kleyner was able diagnose and treat my issues with an array of knowledge and a lovely bedside manner. Dealing with front desk staff was hassle free. I was able to book my next appointment right away.
