In November of 2010, I tore the ACL in my left knee for the first time playing soccer in the finals at CASL as a freshman in high school. I had it replaced by a cadaver ACL the following month by another orthopedic surgeon in Jacksonville and began the long rehab process. I resumed play 9 months lat...

In the spring of 2012, I tore my right ACL and injured several other parts of my knee. I was devastated and questioned whether or not I would ever be able to play football again. I came in to see Dr. Kaplan (who I knew nothing about at the time) and he gave me hope to get back on the field. He surgi...

I recommend everyone to Dr. Kaplan. He has helped me through ACL surgeries on both of my knees. Freshman year I tore my left knee. Because I tore it the first day of tryouts, I was out for the entire season. After a successful surgery and rehab, my friend and also teammate convinced me to play junio...

When I saw Dr. Kaplan point to a picture of the inside of my knee and utter the words “tear in you acl” I didn’t know what to think. I’ve been playing soccer my entire life, on school and club teams that have made it to the biggest stages possible. When I discovered I had a t...

In February of 2010 while playing basketball with my wife, I jumped to get a rebound and heard the all too familiar sound of the ACL in my right knee tearing. I knew before the pain hit me that I tore my ACL because it was the third time that I had done so, once on the left, and now twice on the rig...

It was my first season playing lacrosse, and I had made the varsity team at my high school. I was super excited to be playing, and I was going to be starting in the first game. The day before, I ran on the field at practice to block an attacker from scoring and felt my knee fall out from under me. T...

I have always loved to ride motorcycles. My Mom hates this and even though I’m 56 years old, my Mom still hates motorcycles. Ha! Ha! But that is not why I ride. I started riding motorcycles in my teens and never looked back. I believe motorcycle riding is the best way to travel if there is no ...

I love Dr. Kaplan! Why? I will never forget the afternoon I got sent to Baptist Hospital after initially checking into JOI for tests on my leg to make sure I did not have a blood clot. That afternoon turned into evening at the Hospital. It was hours of waiting in a room and my friend, Katie, and I w...

Dr. Kaplan,

I had surgery on my medial meniscus and want to thank you for an excellent job. The entire process was a great experience. You and your team were very successful in repairing my knee. I never think about it and am 100% functional. I am even growing stronger and more agile....
