    Dr. Klatt was wonderful with my daughter. He spoke to her directly and on her level, He took his time explaining things to her. He was warm and very funny; my daughter said he matched her energy, and I could tell she could be herself around him. She was very relieved to have him as her new scoliosis specialist.

    Not only did he say things in a way that I understood, but he also explained them perfectly for my 10yo. He spoke to her respectfully and kindly and with the perfect amount of humor and lightness to minimize worry for her.

    He was so kind and personable and spent a lot of time getting to know my son and it made him feel so much more at ease. I was really impressed with that. He was not in a rush and you can really tell he truly cares about his patients! What a wonderful quality that is.
