I met Dr. Kaplan during baseball season of my junior year. It was the first day of baseball practice and I swung at an outside pitch. Seconds after swinging I felt a slight dislocation of my left shoulder. I knew something was wrong right when it happened. So the next day I had an appointment with Dr. Kaplan and he suggested that I should get an MRI. I got my MRI and went back to see Dr. Kaplan and he diagnosed me with a Torn Labrum in my left shoulder. At the time I was very upset because the torn labrum was the reason why I couldn’t play my junior year of baseball.
Dr. Kaplan suggested that I get surgery so that I would be able to play summer baseball. He
scheduled my surgery two days after I saw him and I was extremely nervous. He assured me that I would be back to normal in no time. So I decided to undergo surgery. I woke up from surgery and the first person I saw was Dr. Kaplan, letting me know how everything went and explaining how he found another tear that didn’t show up on my MRI. He made sure my shoulder was fully repaired before he was finished. I am currently 7 months out of my shoulder surgery and I feel better than ever. I am currently the starting quarterback on my football team as well as the starting
3rd baseman for my baseball team. I am very grateful to have a doctor like Dr. Kaplan.
