This was my first appointment, so some of these questions aren't really applicable yet (e.g. Verified diagnosis and treatment plan), but I feel Hopeful and confident that Future encounters will be equally satisfying.I really appreciated that as she evaluated:inquired about my medical history and took notes, she did so FACING me. [The last physician I saw at this clinic, who is leaving the clinic, turned her back to me at every appointment and typed into a computer, rushed me and engaged, minimally! I felt like I was in a fast food line!]That Is NOT the case with Dr. Kaplan. Dr. Kaplan seems like she knows how to efficiently manage her patients while also being respectful of their (my) need to have a medical assessment where my input mattered.
