He practices at The Carrell Clinic in Dallas and Frisco, Texas. 

The Carrell Clinic is recognized as a Center of Excellence in Orthopedics & Sports Medicine. Offering a broad range of comprehensive orthopedic care, each physician is skilled in one or more special interest areas such as pediatric orthopedics, sports injuries, arthroscopy, as well as disorders of individual regions such as the spine, shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, foot, and ankle. All of the physicians are fully trained in general orthopedics and are board-certified.

In his current role, Dr. Klein is affiliated with several hospitals and medical centers, including North Central Surgical Center, Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas, Medical City Dallas, Baylor University Medical Center, Baylor Scott and White Frisco, and Baylor Scott and White Sports Surgery Center at the STAR.

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Dr. Klein attended Greenhill School and proudly graduated as part of the school’s Forever Club. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Science degree from Duke University in 2008, followed by his medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in 2012. Next, he completed his residency in Orthopedic Surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital/University of Miami in 2017, and his shoulder and elbow fellowship at The Rothman Institute/Thomas Jefferson University in 2018. There, he learned the most advanced techniques in modern open reconstructive and arthroscopic shoulder and elbow surgery from many of the world’s experts. In addition, he published a number of papers within the field of shoulder and elbow and presented his research at conferences across the country. 

Board-CERTIFIED in orthopedic surgery, the doctor’s interest in orthopedic surgery has many origins. As a young kid, Dr. Klein loved rounding on patients and attending high school football games with his father, Dr. Jeffrey Klein, his role model and a well-respected Orthopedic surgeon in Garland, Texas. Later on, he overcame his own set of knee and elbow injuries sustained while playing tennis, baseball, and football that ultimately required the excellent, personalized care of The Carrell Clinic physicians and staff. Watching his father counsel patients at the time of their injuries as well as learning from his own experiences with injury ultimately inspired his pursuit of a career in the field of orthopedic surgery.

For the purpose of advancing his professional development, he remains a member of numerous professional organizations, including the Texas Medical Association, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the Dallas County Medical Society, the American Orthopedic Association, the Texas Orthopedic Association, the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, and AO Trauma. 

Orthopedic Surgery is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders. They work in clinical and hospital settings.

Recognized for his outstanding contributions to the field, Dr. Klein has been named Top Orthopedic Surgeon for 2020 in Dallas, Texas. This recognition is based on patient reviews and nominations by primary care doctors.

In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife, dancing with his three young girls, as well as playing tennis and golf. He is fluent in both English and Spanish.
