Before scheduling an appointment

- Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.
If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.

She is awesome.
I have seen Dr Klopenstein for years. She's very thorough and knowledgeable. I trust her judgement
Dr Klopfenstein was excellent. I trust her and consider myself fortunate to have her help me with my medical needs. Making the video connection was another matter. My experience this time was poor. Previous video appointments were easy and smooth. This one was not. I ended up having to do the appointment over the phone. I started early with the video setup, as usual, and it went fine. I was informed I was ready but not that all I had to do was wait for the doctor to join the meeting. This was different from previous video sessions. I didn't know what to do at this point. If I did nothing and waited for the doctor, I could miss the meeting. I still had a little time before the session was to start so I repeated the setup process. Same result. I didn't know what to do. By now, I was past the start time and was prepared to exit the session and reopen MyChart to find the telephone # of a support person when the doctor called me on my alternate phone and saved the day.
Good listener, responsive to questions, responsive to needs.
She's the best in all ways. I appreciate her professionalism and her ability to listen to me.
I have been a patient of Dr. Klopfenstein's for many years and appreciate the time she takes to listen and work through my medical issues. And I am able to reach her through MyChart messaging and get a timely response.
The Dr was very helpful in explaining the problems that I deal with.
I trust the clinician as a friend.
She is simply the best. She is incredibly competent, kind, and answers all of my questions. OHSU is very fortunate to have her on their faculty and I am fortunate to have her as my physician.
