Patient Reviews
Apr 21, 2023
Dr. Klapper performed bilateral Lung Transplant on the January 6, 2023. He saved my life with this procedure. I was told by nursing staff that I handle the procedure like a champ. I was in the hospital for 21 days and did very well. I have continue to do well. Post transplant on April 14. He performed three more procedures he corrected a hiatal hernia removed a JG tube and also placed a lynx device around the base of my esophagus due to the severity of my acid reflux disease. I also came through these procedures very well. I would highly recommend Dr. klapper. He has been an amazing surgeon, and also extremely gracious during my postop appointment.
