Amazing surgeon she understands all of my concerns and only a few weeks after surgery I’m looking and breathing much better, she’s in her prime and very busy so only has so much time to hold your hand but knows her stuff inside and out can’t give enough stars

We first worked with Dr. Klene when she was part of the Cleft and Craniofacial Team at Riley Hospital. When she started her own practice, our daughter was one of her first patients. We had an amazing experience with Dr Klene, from start to finish. She even drove up to Lafayette to meet with our daughter's orthodontist so they could collaborate better. Our appointments with her have never felt rushed - she always takes the time to answer all our our questions and explain what she's doing. And the two surgeries she's performed on our daughter were both very successful. We'd recommend Dr. Klene to anyone needing oral surgery - and especially anyone who's child has a cleft palate. She's an amazing surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner.

Highly competent and exceptional bedside manner. We have worked with her multiple times. She spoke directly to my son when presenting treatment options and she went to great lengths to make sure all of our questions were answered fully. She really makes the effort to connect with her patients.

Dr Klene was thorough, direct, professional and understanding. She did everything she could within her power to do so. Unfortunately I will need to go to another specialist to resolve my issue because what I am dealing with does not fall in her area. However she was an excellent and thorough communicator. I wish other surgeons had her direct, honest and caring nature. Very nice doctor. Thank you for making time to see me, Dr Klene. Dr Klene was thorough, direct, professional and understanding.

She is very good at her job and is nice alos

Our daughter was born with bilateral cleft lip and palate. Dr. Klene did the "big surgery" all such cases go through when they are about 17-18 years old. Dr. Klene did a marvelous job! Both the upper and lower jaws were operated on (one lengthened, one shortened). In addition, my daughter ended up with 8 titanium plates and 28 titanium screws in her facial bones. All this work was done with no external incisions or scars. Quite amazing! Dr. Klene is super-competent and has a great bedside manner. I would highly recommend her.

Absolutley terrible service, short term disability denied due to continued ignored request from insurance company, money lost from a vacation we had to cancel that would've been covered by travel insurance had anyone sent back the form we requested, which was next to impossible to even ask for due to Dr Klene being less accessible than the Pope. My wife's jaw was wired shut by someone who had no idea what they were doing and taking advice over the phone from other Dr's while wiring her jaw. When we finally had our first apt. With Klene, she gave almost no information and couldn't care less about my wife's concerns, which she had to relay through me. My wife had a few rubber bands out of place ( I replaced a couple earlier in the day practically instantly) she was left in the care of what seemed to be a 12 year old dental student who repeatedly slipped and stabbed my wife in her gums and lips, she left absolutely miserable in terrible pain. Fast forward 8 weeks, hardly any check ups or anything to see if her jaw healed correctly, they tear off the rubber bands, my wife could barely make her teeth touch and it hurt her to chew or eat (even today, almost a year later) but everything was just fine to them and off we were sent. Due to her operating in two completely different capacities at two separate hospitals, we are still having problems getting tricare to pay the bill, since the hardware was put on and taken off (according to tricare) by two separate entities, which is hard to argue since the bill says Indiana School of Dentistry and not one word about Dr Klene. Tricare doesn't cover dental and no dental operations were performed, I'm sure they could help explain that to tricare, but according to tricare, they've never been able to receive a return call. I wish I could give negative stars.

Incompetence, from top to bottom. I wouldn't recommend for any reason.
