    Dr Kaplan is a man of few words. I would recommend explaining better what he sees or assesses. I am sure he has it under control in his mind. As patient I want a little more insight into what he is thinking is happening to me.

    Dr. Kaplan listen to everything that I had to say. How much pain my knee was bothering me. Made some suggestions on what to do. Go back to physical therapy. Take some medication to see if the swelling comes down and I return in four weeks. I have to have an ultrasound done on my knee and have a shot in my piriformis muscle to see if that will ease the pain
