"I saw Dr. Kaplan for some injections in my back and I am very pleased with not only the procedure, but Dr. Kaplan and his staff. They were very professional and kept me informed during each step of the process. I would trust him with any and all my procedures. His confidence, personality, and then his skill helped put me at ease. With all the doctors I have been to Dr. Kaplan was very gentle and cared if he was hurting me. I feel that he has compassion for his patients and I recommended him to my nephew and would recommend him and Premier Bone and Joint Centers to anyone who asked me. Your staff and the Doc treated me better than any place I have ever been to. Thank you very much and I will be back for any further problems. I want the best and you people are the best." -- Anonymous
