Coming from a background as a critical care nurse and Organ Transplant Coordinator spanning two decades, my praise for Dr. Kaplan is higher than this survey allows. Dr. Kaplan is, without question, the embodiment perfection. She listens. She answers questions. She takes her time explaining her diagnosis and treatment plan, and allows her patient to take the time necessary to address all concerns. And best of all, she takes notes by hand and does not miss a single detail. This is what I remember medicine being in the 1980s and 1990s. In my view, all medical students, interns, and residents should be required to observe how Dr. Kaplan interacts with her patients. She is what's missing in this modern age of insurance-driven medicine. On a scale of 1 to 100, Dr. Kaplan rates a 1,000%.

Dr. Kaplan did a thorough discussion and examination and was very knowledgeable about potential causes and treatments for me. I really appreciated her listening to me and asking through questions to understand the situation, she also recommended some additional tests and took action in giving me a steroid shot and discuss discussing future possibilities if this doesn't improve my symptoms.

Dr Kaplan always asks if there are any issues that she hasn't touched on, that need to be addressed. She does an excellent job of communicating and listening.
