Reviews for Prairie Village, KS Anesthesiologist Dan Kloster, M.D.

I was referred to Dr Kloster by my orthopedic surgeon for post-op knee pain. At the time of the referral I was told that he does not connect with some people. This is obvious from some of the comments here. However, after visiting him as a patient, I found that there was no basis for these claims. He treated me with respect and really wanted to help. He does tell it like it is which some people have difficulty dealing with reality. I also found Dr Kloster to be a rather entertaining individual. Most important, as I am a scientist, Dr Kloster used science based modalities to treat his patients. I am glad I went to him! More

I so appreciate Dr. Kloster's candor, knowledge and explanation of services.He tells you like it is, but knows his stuff.When patients say the appt is rushed, it's because he is booked solid and on a tight schedule, due to everyone wanting an appt. More

Every appointment I have I love the DR DANIEL R KLOSTER and his wonderful nurses and staff. You again love it. He is like brilliant. I would not change Drs for the world. So if you want a life, please see him, and you would write about him as well. More

I went in after a pain pump installed. Dr. Kloster did a Fantastic job,understanding The pain I was in and dialing down more Than I could've anticipated ! They're Great !!!! More

Dr Kloster knows his stuff! He’s direct. He takes time to answer questions, otherwise gets right work with treatment. I appreciate his positive attitude. The staff has been WONDERFUL! So far, they have been on time with appts-no long waits! The staff & Dr are exceptional!! More

Dr. Kloster has been working diligently for a few years to help me obtain a better quality of life with less pain. There have been things in my life that I had to change in order to achieve this, which he has assisted with. Dr. Kloster and his team are awesome. More

Dear Dr. Kloster,My wife & I love you, especially me because you told me that the Verti-Flex surgery would really help me if I had Medicare to cover it. On March 8, 2021 you had that surgery done to me. You said it would help with a lot of my problems and it has. It has really helped me big time since I no longer need to use catchers & having pads in my underwear to collect my urine. I have put up with that for years having to run to a bathroom & use a catcher & keeping a pad in my underwear but now I am a regular guy that can now use any restroom because I am now catcher free.Blue Cross/Blue Shield would not allow me to have that procedure saying it is experimental when it was approved by the FDA. They only wanted save money. You can tell them they did not save money because every month they paid $495.00 for catchers for a long time.Sincerely,Joseph Ernst Zubeck, II More

I was a very nervous patient. Epidural was a breeze! Dr. Talked me through every step and reassured me. Staff is delightful. Highly recommend. Elderly family member is also a patient. Very satisfied. More

I ve struggled with back pain and back docs for five years. Dr Kloster is an answer to prayer. Kind, direct and a definite can do attitude. His staff were great too! I feel for the first time, someone has the answer and IS going to help me. This is not factory medicine and I can’t wait for how I progress. He wasted no time starting to help me!! More

I'm a RN, and I've read every review before I expressed my own. This is a different time in this country related to pain mgmt. I've been around the block a couple hundred times personally and professionally. So far, I'm deeply grateful to have found Dr Kloster and his staff of nurses. They are overworked and underpaid, but I can tell from the look in his eyes that to relieve pain is his passion. His staff are the same. They may double & triple book, but that is so they can try to meet everyone's needs. Heck yes I recommend him and his staff. It's becoming harder to find anyone who genuinely cares. No one wants to treat pain anymore thanks to the FDA. I'm so thankful he's there! More

Extremely caring and concerned for my pain and in trying to alleviate it. I highly recommend him. More

Knowledgeable, caring...just an all around good dude!!! More

He’s a straight forward doc that doesn’t beat around the bush on what he feels is the correct treatment for you. Been a tobacco user for 27 years, & he may be the very guy to finally help me quit! If your biggest gripe is he hates tobacco products, I’d say maybe you should too. I came from a DR I’d had for 12yrs, I truly trust and respect like no other, and he recommended me to Dr.Kloster w/o hesitation. After meeting him, having surgery done, I feel lucky to call Dr.Kloster my pain mgmt Doctor! More

I had a great experience with Dr.Kloster, his staff is well trained and seems they are held to a high standard. I would recommend in to anyone. He listens and will help you, but you need to want to help yourself. Only thing I really didn't care for was the front staff checking me in, I know I looked weird due to a spinal leak, but they talk about patients and it's all heard in the waiting area. Even what was said about me. Never know who's there waiting and listening. Thank u DR! More

I researched pain management doctors for over a year before making an appointment, and I'm SO GLAD I found him. I had been in pain since before back surgery in 2014; prior to that, I went to a couple of different pain management doctors, neither helped me at all. I had neurosurgeons telling me that the only way to relieve my pain was to have a spinal fusion - I'm only 46, so that is NOT an option for me. Dr. K has not given up on me, and for the 1st time in years, I've had pain relief!! More

Dr. Kloster is very out going and pleasant to work with. He makes you feel comfortable as soon as he enters the room. I have been very please with Dr. Kloster and would recommend him to anyone. More

I would recommend Dr. Kloster to both friends and family. More

I understand that some people would not want to commit to quitting smoking but my experience has been that Dr. Floater is fair and straightforward. Yes he has expectations but as a patient so do I and that's a physician who explains his pain procedures and policies and Dr. K definitely met those expectations. I would recommend Kloster to anyone in need of a communicative and professional physician experience. More

Dr. Kloster takes time to explain his procedures and what location the pain is in. He always smiles and has a good bedside manner. We first saw him at Research Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. We tried other Pain Management doctors when Dr Kloster moved to Overland Park and were not satisfied with their services so we followed Dr. Kloster to his new location. More

Saw him 3 times and he is a very direct type of personality. He willing to take the time and explain your needs and options. More

Dr Kloster was very detailed in his review and evaluation of my condition. More

Daniel Kloster doesn’t dispense touchy-feely bedside manner. But he will listen, review your records, and make sound recommendations. He seems a little brusque and arrogant, but he was able to stop my debilitating pain when the Mayo Clinic in MN failed. A wise person once told me that medicine is part science and part art. The best physicians, like gifted artists, seem to have a gene that gives them a love for what they do and extraordinary skill at doing it. Kloster is that kind of doc. More

I have had to visit Dr. Kloster on separate occasions due to back issues. The first time (2014) ultimately resulted in surgery and I am currently visiting again (2016). He and his staff are extremely friendly and professional. I never feel rushed or overwhelmed with what is happening. In fact, I always feel he is more than willing to spend whatever amount of time is needed to make sure I understand what is going on and that I am comfortable with what he is doing. Highly recommended. More

My mother was actually his patient and I went to all of her appointments with her. Dr. Kloster was amazing and showed a genuine concern for the pain she was in on a daily basis and tried to relieve it as much as possible. I would highly recommend him. More

I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. As other doctors would refuse to help my pain and let me suffer, dr kloster got me on the right medication to help me live my everyday life. Now that I have my disease under control and I feel better dr kloster has gotten me off the meds and I feel great. He truly saved my life. More

DR. Kloster is a very good DR. with a amazing bedside manner. I would highly recommend him! More
