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 ED DOC
I actually had the pleasure of working with Dr Kaplan as a travel nurse, and as someone who travels around the country working with different ED doctors, I have to say he is among the top 3 I have EVER worked with. Dr. Kaplan has an excellent bedside manner, stays calm under pressure, and is kind to his staff. He is also very thorough, treats all of his patients with respect, and his medical knowledge/skills are expert level.

Thorough Doctor
I presented to a stand alone ER for incision and drainage of a huge abscess on my buttock. Dr. Kaplan was very reassuring and made me feel at ease despite how embarrassing and painful the procedure was. He was extremely thorough and had me out of the ER in 30 minutes. Excellent doctor.

Dr. Kaplan took such good care of me and my husband as we visited Bardmoor location emergency room. We thought we had covid, because of eye issues, and he was the DR assigned to us. We couldn't have gotten better medical care anywhere, he is wonderful. Thorough, calming, and talked in terms we could understand. WE felt he really cared for both of us, like family.

Dr. Kaplan saw my son in a freestanding ER and diagnosed quickly that he was in a very critical condition and needed immediate life saving surgery. Due to his quick actions in consulting and transferring to Morton Plant my son made it through the surgery although is still very critical. I will never be able to thank him or his team enough for acting so quickly and also his concern that I made it to ER to see my son before his transfer.
