About

I was born and raised in Lexington, Ky. My wife, children and I are happy to be back in the Bluegrass, where I enjoy providing cutting-edge hand, wrist and elbow care for the region. I'm an avid UK sports fan and enjoy cheering and treating the athletes who wear the blue and white!

Personal Statement

Orthopaedic hand, wrist and elbow surgery allows me to care for newborn babies, octogenarians and everyone in between. Our hands allow us to experience and interact with the world, and it's a privilege to be able to restore function to patients with a variety of problems.

    Dr. Kluemper was very thorough in his explanation of risks vs benefits and including me in the plan of care. Very good bedside manner. Definitely would recommend him.

    Dr. Kluemper was fantastic. He explained the injury and had two options for care. Surgery was the best option in my case for the need of a hopefully quick recovery.

      Dr. Kluemper took time to answer my questions. He contacted my surgeon before treating me, to be certain the treatment I received under his care would not interfere with my upcoming surgery. He was very gentle, calm and patient. I highly recommend him

      The fellow who came in before the Dr told me I probably had a torn ligament and would need to be in a spica splint and maybe have surgery and the doctor said that wasn't the case however when I looked at the note that's what the note said.

      He said to move my hand for mobility but didn't say how often or how long.

    • Patient Review

      Dr. Kluemper is the most well physician I have ever had. He is professional and knowledgeable and at the same time personal. I love that he is honest and realistic in discussing options, including his abilities and the risks of surgery. He truly listens and validates my experience with CRPS. He spends time without rushing. It feels like a heart to heart conversation with someone who really cares.
