I wish I could give Dr. Kaplan more than a five because she deserves it. I was more than impressed with her. She listened. She asked questions. She answered my questions with kindness and sincerity. She spoke to me as an equal, and not just another person she had to deal with. She made me feel like my voice mattered in her plan of care. I never once felt rushed or ignored. It would be nice if all doctors treated their patients like Dr. Kaplan treated me.
