His work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented nationally at gastroenterology conferences.

Dr. Kline enjoys building longitudinal relationships with his patients where he can develop personalized treatment plans for their gastroenterological conditions. His interests span the spectrum of pathologies within gastroenterology and include high quality colon cancer screening, eosinophilic esophagitis, and inflammatory bowel disease.

When not taking care of patients, Dr. Kline enjoys spending time (preferably outdoors) with his wife and two children, running, and exploring the amazing variety of restaurants Houston has to offer with friends.
