Dr. Kaplan answered all questions I had concerning my arthritis, if I would have to take meds indefinitely. She examined each finger on my hands for evidence of continued pain.The medicine is working and giving relief.

Dr. Kaplan is the best. I wish I could give her 10 stars. She amazes me. I have never had a doctor who is as concerned for your health as she is. She asks questions, does an exam to see If things are progressing and then explains everything to you. Explains the difference between DMARD's and Biologics medications to treat psoriatic arthritis. Dr. Kaplan is going to research to see which medication may help me the most. Will also consult with my neurologist to make sure there is no conflict with other medications I'm taking. As far as I'm concerned she goes above and beyond. She has even sent me messages thru my portal at 7:30 p.m. Which Is long after the office closes. God knew who I needed. My provider sent out 5 referrals and Dr. Kaplan is the only one who responded. Thank you Dr. Kaplan for showing how much you care and for enjoying what you do. I appreciate you more than words can say. I would highly recommend her.
