Dr. Klauser’s passion for team sports began at a young age while participating in community-sponsored athletics.

His love of sports along with his dedication to care for and serve his community is what ultimately led him to pursue his career in the field of sports medicine.

When surgery is necessary, Dr. Klauser often utilizes minimally invasive, arthroscopic techniques. This approach reduces post-operative recovery time and allows an early return to work and play.

While at the Andrews Institute, Dr. Klauser worked side-by-side with Dr. Andrews where he learned advanced techniques to care for the highest level of professional athlete and young amateur athletes alike. His team physician experience included the Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, Washington Nationals, Auburn University, Pensacola Blue Wahoos, University of West Florida, and multiple high school sports teams, including the Under Armour All-American Team.
