My name is Nestor Ciprian. I went to see Dr. Kevin Kaplan after doing research on the internet because I had an injury to my right shoulder. I wanted the best orthopedic doctor, and his accolades appealed to me. He discovered I had a complete labrum tear, and a torn rotator cuff as well. Moreover, I had three Bankart lesions in the shoulder. The pain was intensely difficult to bear, and I could not pick up a gallon of milk or even lift my right arm over my head. Dr. Kaplan proposed I get a SLAP repair surgery and a rotator cuff procedure in order to stabilize the shoulder. I agreed to the procedure, and Dr. Kaplan was very reassuring that I would be able to play my favorite sport again. I love golf, and the thought of not being able to play was disheartening. He performed the surgery, and implemented an aggressive personalized rehabilitation therapy. I am happy to say that after months of rehabilitation, and Dr. Kaplan’s care, I am back to the golf course with renewed confidence, and not a slight worry about my shoulder. Dr. Kevin Kaplan is a gifted caring doctor. Jacksonville is definitely a lucky city to have him here.
