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.

Best Dermatologist
Dr. Kaplan has been my dermatologist for 40 years as well as for my family and extended family members. He is truly the best of the best. He is very confident in his knowledge and skills and that transfers to making the patient (me) feel at ease and trusting in his care.

Dr. Kaplan and his staff are the best! He has taken care of our family for many years. My dad worked as a diesel mechanic and the grease and fuel kept his skin irradiated to the point of drying out and at times, bleeding. Dr.Kaplan saw my dad and knew exactly what to do ! When my brother-in-law was going through chemo, the chemo caused a terrible itchy rash. No one knew what to do to help him. My dad recommended Dr.. Kaplan and once again Dr. Kaplan knew what to do! When I was faced with skin cancer, he knew I was scared and he and his staff put my mind at ease with every visit. Dr.. Kaplan told me he was going to take care of me and he did! Dr.Kaplan is truely concerned about his patients and does all he can to make you feel better about the situation you're dealing with. He will take the time to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I have recommended many of my friends and family to him and I will continue recommending anyone that needs a great dermatologist.

Dr. Kaplan is one of the nicest most knowledgeable doctors I have ever encountered. I know he will get to the source of my problem. I only wish I had found him a long time ago. I am already seeing improvement in my skin problem.

Dr. Kaplan has seen it all. He can make a diagnosis on sight and rarely needs more than 5 to 10 minutes with the patient. He uses Bartlett Pharmacy to produce skin specific medications that show results, usually within two weeks. I would not trust my child's skin or my grandchild's skin to anyone else. He is what all in the dermatology profession strive to be. He is the Industry Standard.

Office is great..but make your appointment for first thing in the morning...anytime after 11am you will wait well over an hour. Dr Kaplan does care and is great, but their scheduling is aweful.
