I would not even give this one star if I could; I went to Dr. Caplan for breast surgery after getting a mastectomy on one side. To begin, he was very unprofessional; he was constantly on his phone with his wife whenever I had a meeting with him. He also asked me if I wanted to have pictures of the work he did, which I said no because this was basically surgery to repair the trauma I dealt with due to breast cancer, however, right before surgery, when I was half out of it, he took a picture of me, and there is no telling what he did after the surgery when I was still under. Also, as for the work done; he told me that in order for my breasts to look more even, I should get the other one enlarged a bit so that it would match the "perkiness" of the other completely fake breast. The other healthy breast now has a large amount of scarring on it from the work he did around the nipple area. Also, when I went into his office to complain after the procedure and was crying in his office because of it, he didn't even seem to care in the slightest. Finally, the procedure he suggested was to just go in and put the implant in on the mastectomy side without trying to stretch the skin or anything first which is usual procedure; the result of that was for 2 days straight afterwards, it literally hurt to breath because of the pressure from the skin being so tight after the surgery. This was an extremely painful experience both mentally and physically for me, and I think it is important to share this information to warn others before considering this type of treatment from him.

Worst experience ever had with a Dr. Unproffesional, Rude, Showed no care or regard. Terrible excuse for a medical doctor.

I had a mastectomy and Dr. Caplan did my breast reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. He also operated on my index finger and he straitened it after it was severely bent sideways because of arthritis. He was knowledgeable and kind and he and his staff made me feel very welcome and comfortable every time.

Maybe you'll have better luck but the impression this doctor gave me after several appointments is that he doesn't give a damn. I am in the process of finding another doctor to tend to me. After all, I need a doctor who doesn't act annoyed or slightly irritated at each appointment, who is attentive and on top of any treatment and care I need or receive, and overall assures me I'm in good hands. My advice is to Google this doctor or any doctor you are curious about along with whatever procedure you're looking to have done. And last of all, pay attention to the way the doctor speaks and acts not only at the consultation but at all future appointments.

Dr. Caplan is a great doctor. Just weeks ago he performed surgery on me and did an awesome job. He's helpful, caring, patient and understanding. A scar is barely detectable from my surgery. I am amazed and pleased!
