This doctor has a genius for diagnosis. He diagnosed and treated me correctly after many other physicians who are still allowed to practice pain management did not. He was the most responsible pain doctor I've seen regarding prescribing controlled substances. He truly takes the patient's side, and he wants his patients to have the healthiest lives possible. He just sees farther than other doctors, and listens better. He's extremely intelligent and warm but professional. He changes people's lives for the better. Whatever happened probably resulted from disorganization in the office staff. I am not saying Kaplan isn't responsible, but it seems an extreme result. I read the reprimand, which did not specify much. He can still practice, just not pain management. That is a loss. It is wrong. I hope the medical board and Dr. Kaplan can some day reach an understanding about a process to restore Dr. Kaplan's status as a pain management specialist. It is ironic that I and so many people value him way more than a lot of other doctors we've seen who are practicing pain management, but lack the genius, professionality and sincere warmth of Dr. Kaplan.
