life’s challenges he persevered and thrived.

his grandsons Jackson and William; his brother Lawrence Klein; and his sister Norma (Stephen)
Baker.

So sad to hear of Michael's passing. He was a kind, funny OB/GYN who put me at ease every time I came in for a visit. He use to say I was one of his first paying patients when he went into private practice back when I was 19, and he saw me thru many ups & downs, including the birth of my two children @ 37 & 41 who became part of his enormous collection of photos carefully put in albums of all the babies he delivered in his extensive career. May all the Klein family find memories of better times will bring smiles and comfort to ease the tears in the coming days. He was a wonderful doctor & human being, whom I considered a friend. Only wish I had run into him after his retirement & before my husband & I retired and moved to NM. Rest In Peace Michael ~kdt~

My condolences to Mike’s daughters and family and all who loved him. Mike was my OB Doctor, referred by Dr Leslie. He delivered my children, who are 42 and 40 now. He was so competent, calm and kind. Rest In Peace, Mike.

I was so sad to see that Dr. Klein has passed away. Dr. Klein was my GYN for many years until his retirement. He also performed surgery on me in 1994. Wonderful Doctor and person. Always greeted me with a smile and by name when he saw me in the waiting room. He was kind, thorough, compassionate, and competent. He set the standard for a Doctor-patient relationship. My sincere sympathy to all of his friends and family.

Dr. Klein was a warm and caring OB/GYN. I credit him for saving my pregnancy with my daughter, and ultimately delivering a beautiful and healthy baby girl to me. I was fortunate enough to have him deliver my beautiful and healthy baby boy two years later. He was a wonderful doctor and human being. There are no doctors like Michael Klein anymore. I missed him greatly when he stopped practicing. Doc always spoke so highly of his 3 daughters, he was so proud of them. Sending love and peace to the Klein family at this difficult time.
