I was so pleased with all of the care and attention I received. Dr Klein and Dr Koss were everything I could have asked for with my knee surgery. They treated me like a person and not a number. Spent all the time I needed with them. Also their staff were so friendly and informative. Thank you to everyone of you.

Yes, my experience was very organized, very informative. I appreciated getting paper to be able to review it when I got home and I felt very confident about any questions that I may have as a follow-up. So thank you.

Great experience. Shannon really explained my knee injury in terms i understood.

The staff is the absolute best! Shannon is a special talent and I admire her professionalism. She always seeks solutions based on listening and input from me as the patient. She has always been upbeat, positive and caring. She provides the link from the surgery room to the after care in a very constructive way. I have told numerous people that Dr Kleist, Shannon, the staff, the PTs are the absolute best. A plus experience.

Shannon was wonderful and knowledgeable! She explained everything well and was patient and caring regarding my treatment.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/4/2026
Seems there should be an easier way to answer questions about insurance, w/out having to answer separately for the 10:30 xray & then all over again for the 11am provider.

Don't like the mychart program you use.

Dr koss needs to have more patience with the elderly like myself, we dont understand a lot that is going in and a lot of uh are hearing impaired so we would ask to repeat that is where the patiene comes in, i am finding this lack of in many doctors.

The entire team has been awesome during my recent medical issue. Thank you!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/27/2026
I checked in online at home and when I got there, I checked in at the kiosk and I still needed to see an attendant for more information. When I read my chart after the office visit...there were recommendations that we never discussed.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/27/2026
Shannon Koss is wonderful. Always thorough and makes sure all of my questions are answered before I leave. The whole Bellen staff is like that.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/24/2026
Your check-in applications are way too long and really kind of irrelevant such as when was your retirement day month in year why?
