Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Unprofessional office assistant
While Dr Kaplan is very knowledgeable, it’s a shame that his office assistant Ms. Sylvia aka the wife is not. During my first visit on April 7 it took Ms Sylvia over an hour took check me in. And yes, I had an appointment. I then had to wait an additional 45 minutes to see Dr Kaplan. Once seen by Dr Kaplan, he told me I needed a MRI and that the MRI clinic would contact me within a few days. When I did receive a call from the MRI clinic, I called Dr Kaplan’s office and left a message on April 12 and 13 but I never received a call back. On April 14, I finally received a call from Ms Sylvia telling me that my request was still on hold because of my insurance carrier. I explained to her that I had recently had an MRI at Simon Imaging, but she dismissed this information. Ms Sylvia then told me that she would talk to Dr Kaplan. On April 23 I called the office again but I haven’t received a call back . It is now April 26 with no answer. I will not be returning to this office
