Dr. Kenneth Scott Kaplan, MD

Avoid this man. He isn't a doctor.

I went to drkaplan at my 9 weeks, he ordered nuchal translucency test from his affilIated center. My insurance covered another center so had my test there. When he found about this, he was very angry thAt i did not go to his center. He was very abusive, rude and horrible!!!! He stArted to tell stories about not trusting other centers even though mine was Weill cornell!!! He then did not want to hear the results and told me that i need to have An amniosenthesis. My risk rate from the triple test was very low but he did not want to hear that and told me that i am likely to have a child with defects since i am 36 years old!!! Stay away from him!

Dr. Kaplan is a money hungry S.O.B. He speaks to women about their pregnancy with aDismissive arrogance. He does not entertain questions of naturalBirth options and upon trying to speak with him about myDisinterest in an epidural while giving birth to my son heStood up and told me "everyone says that" and walked out.Really? What is he doing in this field?His secretaries are nice but they are not the sharpest tools inThe shed. They were overcharging me on my co-pay because they said dr. Kaplan is a surgeon when the time comes to give birth andhd has to make the incision for a cesarean.

i had to put a star b/c it won't let me put -5 stars! dr. kaplan is a rude, cocky pompous, unprofessional and yes abusive dr!!!!! dr kaplan was recommended to me by friends that i had trusted when i was pregnant... he was quick to want to give me a c-section... why is that, b/c he is a business man.... and businessman are in business to make money! after my 5th month of pregnancy i started having some terrible symptoms such as not feeling the baby move as regularly and some terrible terrible swelling all over my body especially my feet and ankles. when i called his office about not feeling the baby move... he would not even get on the phone with me! I did not even speak to a nurse but the receptionist...! after several calls... the receptionist told me i was fine. I went to see dr kaplan at my next appointment and he told me.... "if you don't feel the baby move... the baby is dead!" speaking to a pregnant woman like that especially a first time pregnant woman was horrifying!!!! he did… not do a sonogram after i asked... he pushed me out the door and said your having a very healthy normal pregnancy!!!! then i asked him what was gong on with my bad swelling...he said to me " you should just feel lucky that you are not pregnant in the summer, then you'd see swelling and really have something to complain about!... oh please your fine" at 35 weeks i went to his office to have a culture done... he never once measured my stomach and would sometimes skip weighing me.... (i gained 65 pounds!!!! i only weighed 120 pounds prior to being pregnant... another sign... possibly something could have been wrong?) my stomach was always sensitive and i would squirm a little when he touched it and he replied to me.... "what!!!??? is your vagina too sensitive to? can i even put this little swab in your vagina?" yup!.... that was what he said to me... in his condescending tone! my mouth hit the floor and could not even speak! he asked me how i was feeling at 35 weeks and i could not even tell him the truth that i was in such pain due to my swelling areas and the lack of baby movement b/c he was just going to shut me down again and make me feel like i was crazy... anyway so at that 35 week appointment he looked and felt my stomach for a quick few seconds and said " i think the baby has a growth problem, i am sending you for a sonogram... no rush... i am sure all is ok".i make an appointment to get a sonogram at dr Roshans office (who is amazing by the way!) and the next thing you know i am rushed to the hospital to have my baby immediately!!!!!! the baby was under major stress due to a condition called Placental insufficiency. my baby was born 5 weeks early at a little over 3 pounds. my amniotic fluid was low and the umbilical cord was under stress as well! i was sick to my stomach when dr. kaplan had to deliver my baby. I did not want him anywhere near me or my baby let alone touch my new born baby!!! my baby was in the NICU for 2 weeks... the next day dr, kaplan the came down to the NICU as i sat by my premature babies side distraught not knowing what was going to happen to my baby and said "thank god i sent you to get that sonogram... if you waited a another day he would have been dead!" i was mortified by again his use of words and that he was actually going to take credit for what had taken place... needless to say.. i have not heard from him since... he never called to follow up to see how the baby was nor did he call to see how i was.This man should not be bringing children into the world when he doesn't even like people! how this man still practices medicine and has a license is beyond me!!!!! I HIGHLY ADVISE YOU NEVER USE THIS DR!!!!!!

I went for prenatal care. He didn't explain the tests he was doing or that I had the option to decline (such as the quad screen). Just did them to get paid, I guess.Was impatient with me when I called to ask questions.Once, a couple of weeks after I received a bill from his office, he left a message on my voicemail telling me to pay the bill or he would have to get his attorney involved. After I transferred to a new doctor, I learned he had filed a claim incorrectly and my insurance therefore wouldn't cover it. He refused to change it and I had to get an attorney friend involved to get him to cooperate. He even cursed at me on the phone.
