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.

Dr. Hillary Kaplan is so user-friendly. She is kind has a marvelous soft touch and shows a true interest in my concerns.

Best doctor ever!
Dr. Kaplan was my doctor for years. She took care of me at the worst of my illness. I drove from Evansville, Indiana sometimes 3 times a week. It was worth it for the care I received from her. She is the best in my book. Friendly, listens, explains things and is available. If it wasn’t for family I’d still have her as my doctor. She is the best! Thank You Dr Kaplan for everything. You done for me.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kaplan’s for 10+ years. She has superior bedside manners. She always listens attentively to my complaints/concerns and documents everything. She is very knowledgeable and personable. She has never seemed rushed during my appointment. She has always been available, after hours, for medicine needs. I feel very blessed to be her patient!

After two years of trying to get a definitive diagnosis for my daughter, our PC doctor referred us to Dr. Kaplan. FINALLY we have some answers and feel like we are on the right path to getting the treatment my daughter needs. Dr. Kaplan spent almost an hour with us and literally took notes of everything we told her. She ordered tests and my daughter received an answer from Dr. Kaplan herself within 48 hours of the tests. Thank you Dr. Kaplan!

I have seen Dr. Kaplan for three years. My health issue is a minor one that needs minimal management but it doesn't matter - she always spends a lot of time going over my labs, discussing how I have been feeling, what her thoughts are, etc. I never feel rushed. She is very nice. I always leave feeling confident in what she recommends. I recommended her to a family member.

I was extremely disappointed in Dr. Kaplan. I waited 5 months to get in to see her given her high rating on healthgrades.com. I had been given a diagnosis of scleroderma and was advised to see a rheumatologist. She performed an RA test on. A few days later, she had one of her assistants call me and told me that I did not have an autoimmune disorder. I asked what I should do next, but I never heard from Dr. Kaplan again. I still do not know what is ruining my life.

Dr Kaplan is a warm and caring person. A Doctor with a great wealth of knowledge. Easy to talk with as she listens to you and discusses your heath concerns with you, not at you. As someone who comes from a family of doctors I can say that she is among the best I have ever met.
