My introduction to Dr. Kaplan began on a beautiful April day in 2010. My oldest daughter and grandchildren ask me to play a round of tennis and without the proper footwear I agreed. As a competitive senior, I was running to return a serve and I crossed my feet and fell square on my right shoulder. The pain was more intense then anything I had ever encountered. My grandchildren called 911 and in minutes I was on my way to Baptist South. Having never broken a bone, I had no idea who to call to fix what obviously was a fractured shoulder. Luckily one of my son-in-laws was an Orthopaedic Implant Specialist who sold prosthetic devices to surgeons. He was always in the OR with the top surgeons in Florida and immediately had me transferred to Baptist Downtown. His comment was “there is only one surgeon that I want to have operate on you, his name is Kevin Kaplan and his technique is one of the best I have seen”.
Dr. Kaplan did a marvelous job with not only the surgery but his attention to me post-operatively was a surprise, he visited me in the hospital and even changed some dressings. Kevin has become a friend and I had the privilege of attending his & Darleen’s wedding last year.
This young and talented surgeon is not only a great surgeon he is a great human being and I am proud to be a friend…
