I met Dr. Kaplan unintentionally at my regular doctor’s office. I went in for what I thought was a severely bruised ankle from a flag football injury. But as the physicians assistant was looking at my ankle, it was clear something more was going on. She left to get a second opinion and fortunately for me came back with Dr. Kaplan who happened to be visiting my doctor’s office that day.
It didn’t take him more than a few minutes to confirm my bruised ankle was actually a ruptured Achilles tendon.
For someone who loves sports, I was extremely worried about my long-term ability to continue being active. But Dr. Kaplan listened to my worries, answered my questions and put me at ease.
The thing about Dr. Kaplan is he doesn’t feel like a doctor when you’re talking to him. He’s very down-to-earth and informal in his interactions. There’s a genuineness about him. That quality went a long way in my trust and confidence in Dr. Kaplan as a doctor and surgeon.
So I’m definitely glad I had Dr. Kaplan perform my surgery!
Since the surgery and rehab, I’ve been able to resume all the sports I love without any hesitation or reservation about my ankle/Achilles. As far as I’m concerned I’m back to 100%.
Thanks to Dr. Kaplan I never have to worry about a life without sports. I am free to run around, play and enjoy life to the fullest!
