Dr. Klaiber is a Board Certified physician who grew up in a small town about 30 miles north of New Haven Connecticut. He was first drawn to the study of Allergy and Immunology as an undergraduate student.
“I was intrigued by the fact that we all possess this immensely complex network of cells constantly working behind the scenes to stave off infection.”
Dr. Klaiber earned his M.D. from Eastern Virginia Medical School and completed his pediatric post-graduate residency training at VCU Medical Center in Richmond. He remained at VCU to complete his Allergy Immunology fellowship. He enjoys treating both Pediatric and Adult Allergy and Immunology patients.
“Over the course of my fellowship I was fortunate to have several excellent clinical mentors. Working closely with these individuals allowed me to gain firsthand experience both with rare disorders such as Mastocytosis and HAE, in addition to providing regular exposure to more common diseases, like eczema, food allergy, asthma, allergic rhinitis, CVID and chronic hives.”
Dr. Klaiber and his wife have three children. Several of his immediate family members suffer from allergies. He feels this personal experience has aided his understanding of what therapies are most practical and effective for his patients.
“Having a child with severe food allergies makes you truly aware of what it is like to be one bite away from a potentially serious reaction.”
Dr. Mozena moved to Fredericksburg in 2007 after finishing five years of post-medical school training at the University of Virgina. Although originally from Iowa, the temperate weather, proximity to mountains/beach and friendly people kept his family in Virginia.
“I went into the field of Allergy/Immunology as I was always fascinated with the immune system.”
“Disturbances in the delicate balance between our immune system and the environment we live in can result in a variety of medical conditions that are both intellectually challenging and rewarding to take care of. “
The ability to evaluate and treat patients of all ages further attracted him to the field of Allergy/Immunology.
In his spare time Dr. Mozena enjoys spending time with his family outdoors playing soccer, hiking and, traveling.
Dr. Posthumus and his wife are originally from northern New Jersey and moved to Virginia in 2007, and recently welcomed a baby girl into their family. Their unusual last name is common in the Netherlands, and his ancestors like many other Dutch immigrants, originally settled in the Hudson River Valley.
“My passion for allergy and immunology began during my medical training as I grappled with my usual symptoms of itchy, watery eyes and severe nasal congestion keeping me from enjoying the outdoors.” Also afflicted with asthma since an early age, his firsthand experiences has helped to augment his medical education allowing him to provide comprehensive, compassionate care to people who suffer from similar ailments.
“Communication is essential in determining an individualized treatment plan, and I pride myself on being a good listener.” Dr. Posthumus is able to provide superior allergy and immunology care by understanding his patients’ concerns and using that information to focus testing and implement the most effective treatment plan aimed at relieving symptoms.
Since coming to Virginia for his medical training, he and his wife decided to settle in the Commonwealth. Fredericksburg’s proximity to the beaches, mountains, and numerous metropolitan regions makes it an ideal location for enthusiasts of the outdoors, culture, and history.
“As a member of the community, I promise to commit myself to allow my patients to enjoy everything this great state has to offer.”
Dr. Wenger moved to Virginia for college in 1989 from a small town in Ohio and hasn’t left since. He has lived in Fredericksburg since 2005 and enjoys the incredible local history and sense of community they have experienced.
“Every day I feel blessed to be an allergist/immunologist, in no small part because to be an excellent allergist the specialty requires really understanding the patient, their exposures, their symptoms, and expectations. Basically it requires getting to know your patients well and I treasure that.”
Dr. Wenger and his wife enjoy live music, art, and exploring food be it at home cooking or heading to a restaurant, often with their two young children in tow.
“Yes, it’s been 20 years, but I remain an Ohio sports team fan. It just doesn’t go away.”
I moved back to Fredericksburg after receiving my master’s degree in nursing from the Virginia Commonwealth University, Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. Though born in Ohio, I grew up in this beautiful, history-rich area. My husband and I are now raising our two children here where we enjoy spending our time outdoors, hiking, running, trail-walking and exploring.
As a family nurse practitioner, I have provided primary care to patients of all ages in this area since 2003. I pride myself on being an approachable and compassionate provider, and I genuinely take pleasure in getting to know my patients in order to provide the most thorough care.
