Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I'm befuddled to see Dr. Kaplan's hig rating. Maybe he is just past his prime and tired. I began seeing him on advice of a friend but from the get-go I found him to be disinterested, patronizing and outright rude. He never took the time to get to know me or discuss my disease. He prescribed a new medication but never filled me in the follow up. Once he made me cry, walked out of the room, not to be seen again! He needs to be put on the shelf or glad handing the board, not seeing patients!

Dr Kaplan is an amazing doctor that gives 110% to his patients. Besides being extremely knowledgeable, he asks the right questions and listens carefully to my responses. He has greatly exceeded my expectations and I would not hesitate in recommending him to friends, relatives or colleagues.

An Eastside Patient in Bellevue, WA – Feb 18, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kaplan?
He is warm, caring, unpretentious, accessible. ALWAYS returns his own phone calls,(no matter how late), he is very reassuring, and.....TOP OF HIS FIELD! He is among one of the ONLY reasons I do not/have not returned to California, as he has been, by far, the BEST HEMATOLOGIST I've ever had, bar none.
