About Christian M. Klare, MD

Christian M. Klare, MD is an orthopedic spine specialist who performs cervical, lumbar & thoracic spine surgery.

Dr. Klare first realized he wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon while he was in college.

“I spent the summer volunteering at an orthopedic surgeons office working as a scribe. I remember one patient who had such bad arthritis that their main complaint was they couldn’t keep up with or play with their grandkids. After a joint replacement, the patient came into a follow-up and showed us videos of them running around playing with the grandkids in the park.”

His favorite injuries to treat are lumbar and cervical disc herniations.

“When you see these patients in clinic, typically they have excruciating pain. They’re very uncomfortable and if they don’t respond to non-operative measures, surgery reliably takes their pain away. It’s always amazing to see them in the recovery room, finally pain-free”

One of Dr. Klare’s top priorities as a spine specialist is making sure his patients are comfortable with their treatment.

“I really like sitting down and talking with patients through all of their options. Its important to me that at the end of the visit the patient feels comfortable with the treatment plan that we decided on together.”
