John Kleimeyer, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDr. Kleimeyer specializes in orthopaedic spine surgery, treating cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine disorders including disc herniations, stenosis, myelopathy, fractures, scoliosis and more. He treats both simple and complex spine problems including revisions. His goal is to provide the most minimally invasive solution to improve patients’ quality of life. This includes less invasive discectomies, decompressions, disc replacements, and fusions. He is particularly focused on single-position procedures to limit surgical time and recovery.
Prior to coming to the Stanford Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and the Stanford Spine Center, Dr. Kleimeyer completed his residency in orthopaedic surgery at Stanford University where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. He then completed his spine fellowship at the renowned Emory University Spine Center. He is board-certified.
Dr. Kleimeyer has received honors and recognition for his research in the fields of orthopaedic surgery and spine surgery. He participates in national and international specialty societies and as a journal reviewer. His research interests include improving clinical outcomes of surgical and nonsurgical care, the genetics of orthopaedic and spine disorders, and cost efficacy. Dr. Kleimeyer has published over 20 journal articles in addition to other reviews and textbook chapters, and has presented research nationally and internationally. -

Nathan Kline
Adolescent Screenomics Study Coordinator, Peds/Disease Prevention
Current Role at StanfordAs the Adolescent Screenomics Study Coordinator, I have collaborated with Dr. Tom Robinson and the rest of the Stanford Solutions Lab team to create the groundwork for the Adolescent Screenomics study. Some of this groundwork includes: developing and maintaining a RedCap project with over 20 instruments and over 800 notifications with branching logic. I also have been collaborating with programmers and RedCap administrators to manage compensation related to smartphone use, create a zoom scheduler to onboard adolescent participants, and automate the distribution of gift cards. Moreover, I have been developing and maintaining our study website. Finally, I have been developing advertisements on Facebook, Instagram, etc. to advertise for our study. Once our study is approved by the IRB officially, I will begin recruiting and onboarding adolescent participants, obtaining informed consent (from their parents/guardians) and assent, and monitoring completion of the study.
