Dr. Klein grew up in Oak Park, IL and remembers always wanting to be a physician. While many people with this same memory would remember their pediatrician as a child, she remembers their podiatrist, whom she visited first at the age of 8, for a wart, to a variety of other random foot issues throughout the years. Most importantly, she remembers always feeling better after leaving his office. As a competitive skater and part of the Miami University Synchronized Skating Team throughout college, Dr. Klein's foot problems continued into early adulthood. Being a Division I college student athlete for four years was an experience that had an exceptional effect on who she is today.
