In the Spring of 2011, I some how injured my left shoulder. I could not lie on it or raise my left are above my shoulder. My primary doctor put me in Physical therapy for a frozen shoulder. The physical therapist suggested that I go see Dr. Kaplan.
In August 2011, I had an MRI that reveled a torn rotator Cuff. Dr. Kaplan said he could repair it with three minor incisions in my shoulder.
On September 6, 2011, I went into JOI for same day surgery. I was very nervous about having surgery, but Dr. Kaplan put me at ease and suggested that I let the Anesthesiologist give me a nerve block in my shoulder along with the general anesthesia to help reduce the pain after surgery. What a blessing Dr. Kaplan was. I went home after having my Rotator Cuff, a torn labrum, and a torn bicep repaired and I had no pain for over 12 hours.
Dr. Kaplan has the best bedside manors of any doctor that I have ever met. When you go to his office for a follow up, he never seems to rush you out of the office. He is very through in all of his explanations and answers any questions that you have with great patience. I have recommended Dr. Kaplan to two of my co-workers who have had shoulder problems.
I not only had a great doctor to take care of my shoulder but now I feel that I also have made a great friend as well.
