Lester R. Klebe, D.P.M.

I went to dr klebe initially for bunion surgery. I explained my insurance would be done soon so there wasn’t a lot of time
I had been to previous doctors & knew what I needed. Instead of surgery, he milked my insurance company & my out of pocket for as much as he could for «possible» issues in. He appears to be Mr nice guy but he’s all about the money. He should be RETIRED! He isn’t concerned about his patients
…just his wallet. His staff, however. Is excellent although he treats them like slaves. DO NOT GO THERE!

Dr. Klebe’s staff is always eager to assist, and Dr. Klebe is compassionate, a good listener and very professional. He takes the tie to explain the reasons for the problem, describe the procedure he proposes and define the result he expects. I have had wonderful results for a variety of painful foot problems. Thanks to Dr. Klebe, I wok without pain.

I am beside myself with the service I received from doctor Klebe. I have been to three doctors previous in order to find a someone to do surgery on my toe. I was referred to Klebe by my podiatrist in Tucson because I wanted to get the procedure done in Scottsdale.
I sent doctor Klebe notes from the previous doctors, thoroughly explaining what was found. I also brought my X-​rays which another foot doctor had ordered. This was done a week prior to my appointment in order to see if he was capable of doing the procedure. I had a bad feeling about making this appointment once I was told that he needed to look things over before knowing if he was capable. I explained that I did not want to make an appointment and drive to Scottsdale if I was not going to be able to schedule a surgery with him soon after. I was ensured that if I drove up to his office I would be set up with a surgery date or referred to a different podiatrist who would see me within the day. Instead, doctor Klebe slowly took hand notes and made me repeat every detail of what happened with my toe for half an hour (All of which was included in the notes from my previous doctors)! In the end he said he didn’t do many surgery anymore and I would need to see a different podiatrist and possibly a plastic surgeon but they wouldn’t be able to see me for another week and the later for another month.
I find this outrageous. If you are a doctor who does not practice surgery anymore, you should clarify that when someone is calling specifically for a surgery. I have wasted my entire day, a huge copay, and nothing was accomplished except doctor Klebe read me what every other doctor wrote in my files and asked me to decipher it for him.
