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.

Didn't listen was committed to what he liked. Has technical skills but not aesthetic skills. I wasn't infected but look like a freak. Do not trust him with anything that shows. He should have retired 40 years ago but he knows how to schmooze

Had a breast reduction. I wasn't pleased, he took too much off. I still have stitches 5 years later. I had multiple cysts & infections. He was dismissive when I told him of still feeling stitches...

I am very disappointed with Dr, Caplan practice, and the outcome of my procedure. I went in for a reduction and results were not that great. . When I told Dr Caplan how I felt during the post opp his reaction was not professional. He even made me cry. Dr, Caplan was very confrontational and had a very bad attitude making fun of me. I would NOT recommend the doctor for any procedures.
