  • "I was a workers comp patient, and my experience with Dr. Klassen and his staff was wonderful. I waited months to find a doctor on the peninsula that would even accept a workers comp patient and do my knee surgery. Dr. Klassen was the only doctor that would accept my case and did so without hesitation. He was kind and skilled and I felt very well taken care of."
