Patient Comments
Lawrence Kaplan is wonderful
My first visit was excellent and he was thoughtful and made me feel comfortable. I plan to have Dr. Kaplan as my regular PCP.
DOCTOR KAPLAN IS A GREAT GUY
Kaplan is the man. When […] left, I didn't think anyone would or could match his energy but I was wrong. Dr. Kaplan is very good.
Always a good experience with Dr. Kaplan.
