Not sure what to say?

Dr. Kaplan was simply the best. Our family moved here from New York when I was about 10. My parents got his name from their physician in New York. We all went to him including my husband when I got married. Every doctor we see gets measured against his high standards and no one has come close . I am certain he extended my dad's life through his treatment of lymphoma and referrals to specialists in his league. We will remain forever grateful for his service. Rest In Peace fine man.

I was a member of Dr Kaplan's medical staff for 9 years (during the late sixties & early seventies), there was no finer man or superior doctor than Dr Kaplan. My entire family was treated by Dr Kaplan. He will certainly be missed by the medical profession and by all of his friends.

Dr. Kaplan was THE BEST doctor I have ever had. My husband and I became his patients in the early 1970's and we remained his patients until his retirement. We will miss him greatly.

Our prayers are with Dr. Kaplan's family. Our family held a great deal of respect for Dr. Kaplan. In 1965 we moved to California when I was 10. Our father had been to the doctor in two other states we lived in about recurring health problems. Luckily he saw Dr. Kaplan shortly after arriving, and he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had surgery. Dr. Kaplan saved our father's life!
