It was late December and I was on a duck hunting trip with my family. I was waist deep in a swamp and knee deep in mud when the first ducks flew overhead. As I swung my gun to take my first shot my foot stuck in the mud. I kept swinging as I followed the ducks and as I shot the second time I lost my balance and I began falling head first into the water. I grabbed a tree with my left arm at the last second to stop the fall and it worked. Unfortunately my left bicep ripped away from elbow…
The following day I was in an appointment with Dr. Kaplan. After living through the embarrassment of retelling the tragic duck hunting story and explaining to him how tough ducks are today he moved quickly to diagnose the extent of the damage in my arm. I still do not know how he did it but he had me scheduled for an MRI later that same day and called me with the results early the next morning. I was not surprised to learn that my injury would require surgery but I was surprised to find out that he would change his flight plans on New Year’s Eve to work my surgery in before leaving for New York to see his fiancé. WOW what a doctor!! Until the day before I had never seen or heard of Dr. Kaplan and here he was moving his personal plans around to take care of me. Needless to say, I am his biggest fan and to prove that, I have referred several patients over the past two years. 100% of my referrals feel as fortunate as I do to have found Kevin Kaplan. My sons play college football at Wake Forest and Cornell and Dr. Kaplan is always my first call when we are dealing with their injuries. Thank you Kevin for treating us like we are family!!
You will be happy to learn that I am back out in the woods and feeling better than ever. I pity the duck that tries to mess with me now!!
