Gregory Klis, MD
Dr. Klis graduated from the University of Minnesota Medical School in 1992. Following medical school, he entered an internship program at Butterworth Hospital. He completed his residency at Butterworth Hospital in 1996. After his residency program, Dr. Klis decided to try something new and moved to California. He worked for 2 years at Gould Medical Group in Modesto, CA. Soon after, he was recruited by Dr. Stoneburner and he joined San Dimas Medical Group in 1999.
Dr. Klis looked up to his mother, who was a nurse, and decided at an early age that he wanted to become a physician. He is passionate about helping people and fits right in with the style of medicine that it takes to specialize in OBGYN. In December of 2023, as he and his partners at San Dimas Medical Group decided to close the practice, Dr. Klis knew that he needed to continue to provide care for the women of this community that he has loved and served faithfully for over 24 years. He decided to open a smaller OBGYN practice called California Obstetrics and Gynecology Institute.
Family is very important to Dr. Klis. He spends most of his free time with his daughter, traveling to her cross-country tournaments and mountain biking races and going on vacations. He cherishes the time he gets to spend with his daughter. Dr. Klis enjoys collecting old antiques and Coca-Cola items, golfing, and fishing. He is an avid Minnesota Vikings fan and loves sports. Dr. Klis is also the owner and president of Skinsation, a local medical aesthetic center in town.
