I made an appointment with Dr. Kaplan's office from a recommendation. I needed hernia repair surgery. Dr. Kaplan was friendly and took his time answering all my questions and concerns and he never seemed in too big a hurry with me, so we set a date for surgery. I like his demeanor and his staff is super friendly and helpful.
