Dr Kaplan makes you feel so at ease. Very helpful and informative. Very nice doctor. I’d recommend him to everyone.

He is the best of the best. In our lifetime we all have encountered someone that was outstanding at what they do.....this is that person.

Treatment has been timely and reassuring. When Dr. Kaplan was unable to do the surgery, Dr. Kleinman took our case and surgery is scheduled for today. We feel we are in very professional hands and are optimistic about a great outcome. Four stars only reflects that we are just part way through the procedures, but so far, all is well.

I've had six surgeries involving different orthopedic doctors and dealt with at least three or more other orthopedic surgeons involving orthopedic procedure over a forty plus years span. So I speak from experience when I say that Dr Kaplan rates at the top with other good doctors who have cared for me. I will be going back to Dr Kaplan soon for my next procedure

Dr Kaplan and Dr Langley were both great. My son is 6 and they were both very kind and gentle. Explained everything very thoroughly.

Dr Kaplan is honest and an Angel. He is going to fix my botched Ortho Indy surgery as best he can. I had broken my left wrist in September. The surgeon from Ortho Indy put a steel plate and screws after being told I had s nickel allergy. I was in pain and got a severe reaction in a rash and burning in my wrist. Ten days later the Ortho Indy surgeon did a second surgery to remove the plate. And carpal tunnel revision for the numbness and pain in my hand. After complaining about the pain, numbness and my fingers curling. The Hack said he did not injure my nerve! You must go get an EMG to prove I didn’t injure your nerve. I did in Dec. it was injured. When I saw him next he apologized for injuries to my median nerve during first surgery . No apologies for putting me through two surgeries due to his steel plate though. I have been in severe pain with loss of movement because not only is my nerve damaged but the plate is not placed properly right to the bone and back from the joint. It is rubbing on my tendons every time it moves. Thank God Dr Kaplan is honest and willing to do a plate removal and carpal tunnel revision to repair the hack job I received. More to follow after the third surgery.

Great service and accommodating to my schedule!

David Keen

Dr. Kaplan was very personable and attentive and knew what was going on with me. His PA (can't remember her name) was very personable and attentive as well. Nikki, the OT, was very nice and answered all my questions. I love this office!

After a back in fourth with another hospital for 6 months I went there today and was fully informed and a great treatment plan was set in place. Thank you to Dr. Reiter and Dr. Kaplan really took there time to examine me and let me know what all they thought was going on with my right shoulder which happened to be multiple things. Thank you all so much for not making me feel like it was all in my head like the other place... and actually coming up with multiple diagnoses...Would highly recommend!

Initial appointment went smoothly, I liked Dr Balterra. The nurse who did the pre-op phone call was thorough, kind and helpful. I felt confident about having surgery. Trying to schedule was a nightmare. They would tell you the date of surgery, but you wouldn't be given the time until 48 hrs before. I have childcare to arrange. It is a 1.5 hr drive without the construction on US 31. I asked to request a later surgery time and was told the surgery sets the schedule two days ahead of time. I requested another day, the next month, when I wouldn't have to worry about childcare and the scheduler said it was Thanksgiving...according to my calendar it wasn't even Thanksgiving week. I can not believe I am the only patient that has ever had to know what time they have to be there, in order to arrange care for other family members. At least I'm courteous enough not to let them schedule and then cancel because it's too early.

I suffer from a genetic condition called dupuytren's contracture. Dr. Kaplan did both injections in both of my hands and, most recently, surgery. He is OUTSTANDING in his knowledge and skill. I recommend him to anyone needing either injections or surgery for this type of condition. You need a real expert for this type of procedure, and he is the top in his field.

HALERIE SANDALA

Both my husband and I have had shoulder surgery by Dr.Kaplan. We feel he couldn't be more knowledgeable and couldn't have been better than he was for both of us. We are still recovering, but feel the therapists are helping us towards that end.
