Dr. Jeffrey Klein
Dr. Jeffrey A. Klein is a medical and surgical dermatologist practicing in San Juan Capistrano, California, at HK Dermatology. Dr. Klein has been a practicing dermatologist for nearly 40 years and is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology (UC Irvine), the American Board of Internal Medicine (UCLA), and the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. In addition, Dr. Klein has completed a National Institute of Health Research Fellowship in Clinical Pharmacology as well as advanced degrees in mathematics and biostatistics (UC Berkeley). Dr. Klein is a graduate of the University of California, San Francisco, (UCSF) School of Medicine. Dr. Klein is a clinical professor of Dermatology at UC Irvine. In November 2021, Dr. Klein was honored with the President's Award by the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery. The ASDS President’s Award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions over the years to the specialty and/or ASDS. In December 2021, Dr. Klein became one of the first dermatologists to achieve certification in Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery.
Dr. Klein devotes a significant portion of his professional research activities to clinical research involving medical dermatology, tumescent drug delivery for dermatologic diseases, and the clinical pharmacology of lidocaine local anesthesia. He is currently pursuing research for treating patients with the most severe pain of acute shingles (herpes zoster) and chronic postherpetic neuralgia. He has developed a technique for painless subcutaneous injection of tumescent lidocaine acyclovir (aka ZosterRx). In patients with acute painful shingles, ZosterRx abruptly eliminates the shingles pain and arrests the progression of the rash.
Dr. Klein has made groundbreaking medical advances in the dermatologic community. Dr. Klein is the inventor of tumescent lidocaine anesthesia (TLA), which is now the worldwide standard of care for liposuction and many other plastic surgical procedures. Virtually every plastic surgeon and dermatologic surgeon uses the “Klein Solution” for large surgeries involving skin or subcutaneous fat. Dr. Klein first described the tumescent technique for liposuction at a scientific meeting in 1986 and published his result in the Journal of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery in 1987. Prior to 1986, all liposuction surgeries were done under general anesthesia, and were associated with significant surgical blood loss and prolonged postoperative recovery of two or more weeks.
Dr. Klein’s innovative liposuction technique was the first of its kind, allowing surgeons to prevent significant surgical blood loss often associated with general anesthesia operations. The potential dangers and risks of liposuction are often associated with general anesthesia, excessively large volumes of liposuction done on a single day and combining liposuction with other unrelated procedures. Dr. Klein’s tumescent liposuction avoids all of these risk factors. Experience has shown that Dr. Klein’s tumescent liposuction is safer than laser liposuction and ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) and is less painful and far more effective than CoolSculpt and other non-invasive fat reducing technologies.
Within a few years, tumescent liposuction became the worldwide standard of care. A Google search for: “Jeffrey Klein” Liposuction, yields more than 10,000 listings. More than 800 surgeons from around the world have traveled to San Juan Capistrano to attend Dr. Klein’s tumescent liposuction course known as Liposuction 101. Dr. Klein is active in research and teaching at the University of California, Irvine. Dr. Klein continues to perform the world’s safest and most comfortable form of liposuction with the quickest recovery and the best cosmetic results. At HK Dermatology, safety and patient comfort are Dr. Klein highest priorities.

Wonderful
Very nice
Awesome
Very knowledgeable. Pleasant and helpful staff.
Atoosa is always very knowledgeable and gives me tips to address my skincare concerns. Very happy with IPL results.
I have been a patient of Atoussa for over 10 years she has always been gentle, kind, through full and very knowledgeable. Atoussa always tells me what she is doing and has a calm and reassuring demeanor. The ladies at the front desk are very friendly and very efficient.
The check on was fast with keeping best safety practices in mind. Atoussa, as usual, carefully examined me for any potential issues and took appropriate action - which made me feel very comfortable about my health care
Helpful staff, excellent PA.
The HK operation is beyond excellent at every level, including Doctors Nurses and Staff.
Friendly, Great doctors and office personnel, Love Dr. Atoussa. Following COVID-19 Regulations. Very nice!
Always the best
Atoussa is amazing!!
Dr Klein is extraordinarily knowledgeable and caring. He puts his patients first and he is passionate about his chosen profession. He has ‘saved’ me a couple of times and for that I will be eternally grateful. I admire his professionalism and trust his decisions and his surgical technique. He is a truly ‘great’ Dermatologist. Love his admin staff too. They are the best.
Angelica who prepared me for the biopsy was very gentle, careful and pleasant to talk with. The PA didn’t hurt me in anyway in doing the biopsy. As far as I know all went A-OK. Let you know when they heal.
Excellent
Very professional and knowledgeable.
Great as always!’
Dr. Klein is a kind, knowledgeable, respectful professional who patiently answered all my questions, and reviewed options with me before preceding with the treatment of my melanoma. His assurance of any needed follow-up has been comforting and believable. His staff have all been professional, I’ve always been seen within 5-10 minutes after I’ve arrived. He’s definitely earned 5 stars!
On time, and professional
Great to work with and a quick visit. Great bedside manner
Atousa is amazing. She is warm and caring which makes a difficult appointment pleasantly tolerable. My only suggestion with all respect to the office staff and Dr. Klein is regarding the front office clerk, Linda. When we arrived and called in to be admitted, her manner and tone was quite aggressive and harsh. We waited outside in the cold for 12 minutes after the abrupt interaction which did not help the situation. Perhaps the staff can review sensitivity and proper customer service training.
Unparalleled!!! Muy excellente The best!!
My entire family have been patients of Klein Dermatology for nearly 20 years. The best we’ve been to and we drive an hour just to be seen by Dr. Klein and Atussa. Excellent bedside manner, friendly and very knowledgeable. We are clients for life.
Just the absolute most fantastic and fabulous practice on the planet. My entire family drives from the Temecula valley because this office and Atousa and Everyone that answers the phone checks us in greets us, they’re just perfect in every way. Since 1999 we have gone here. Through good and bad times they’re there for us! It’s medical CARE.
Excellent!
Sheryl is amazing!
