    How was your appointment with Dr. Kaplan?

    Dec 13, 2019
    I only saw Dr. Kaplan for a screening colonoscopy. From my first call, everything was efficient. I was able to get in within a few weeks (I had no rush, as it was screening). The day of the procedure was organized and efficient. Dr. Kaplan was kind and discussed the (normal) results with me as well as discussing the (lack of) heredity of my mother's type of colon cancer. I was very pleased.. Having a colonoscopy is not the most enjoyable process, but Dr. Kaplan and his staff made it easy, at least.
