Dr. Caplan was amazing! She listens to my entire problem and figured out what was REALLY wrong with me! She wasn't so quick to give me medications but told me how to adjust my lifestyle which is amazing info and exactly what I did, with great success!! Can't say enough good things about her in fact, everyone should have a doctor like her!

Started seeing Dr. Caplan around 2002. At the time, I found her somewhat aloof and always late for appointments, but was competent, kind and didn't push for unnecessary tests or medication.

Ten years later, things changed. I had just started a new medication that she prescribed and came in with concerns about the side effects (very rapid weight gain). She dismisses these concerns, not believing that they were connected to the drugs. Instead, she told me I should stop "binge eating". She also referred me to a nutritionist (not a registered dietitian), who mostly pushed expensive vitamins. Dr Caplan lost my trust, and after she switched to this new practice, I refuse to have her as my doctor.

Dr. Shari Caplan has been my family doctor since I was a teen. She's very punctual and I never feel rushed when I'm talking to her. She is an amazing doctor and has helped me through my medical issues. No matter what is happening with my health, I always feel better after seeing her, because I trust her! She's very knowledgeable in her field. I highly recommend Dr. Caplan!

I can’t thank Dr. Shari Caplan enough for all she has done for me! I've been a patient of Dr. Caplan’s for more than 18 years. She delivered our son 17 years ago and then helped us conceive and deliver our beautiful daughter (now 11) through a wonderful fertility program in downtown Toronto (all covered by OHIP). Since then, Dr. Caplan has changed the face of her practice. She now incorporates integrative medicine, wellness, anti-aging, medically supervised weight loss, holistic nutrition and fitness into her practice. Her new facilities (Vitality MD on Avenue Road) are beautiful — and yes, most of this comes at a cost — to her and her patients. However, never have I been so appreciative of her practice then when I was involved in a car accident a month before Christmas. After having a CT-Scan at North York General Hospital that cleared me of any internal bleeding or fractures, I was sent home to rest and recover. Left with a concussion and whiplash, I went to see Dr. Caplan. She recommended a series of vitamins, supplements and a neuro-steroid to support my brain health as it recovers. Yes, there was a small cost. But the good news — I’m feeling a whole lot better. I go to physiotherapy twice a week and continue to take her supplements. I can’t thank Dr. Caplan enough for all she has done — and I’m on my way to a full and complete recovery.

Dr. Shari Caplan has been my family doctor for many years. She is an extremely good doctor in terms of her knowledge and ability to communicate with patients. She is a good listener. I have also used some of her supplements e.g., probiotics, which have been very helpful. Her holistic approach to medicine is exceptional. I will now get involved in Pilates and meditation classes which her clinic also offers along with many other services. Her staff are very friendly and helpful as well. Very grateful and reassured to have Dr Caplan as my doctor!

Dr Caplan delivered both of my babies at Women's College, and has been my doctor ever since. 20 years later I am very happy with her focus on wellness and optimizing the health of her patients. Through blood tests we have singled out various supplements that I need including B12, iron, thyroid, estrogen. When I follow her recommendations, I have no hot flashes, my cycle is consistent, my energy is high, my ability to concentrate is increased and I am overall feeling better as I enter menopause. She is a quality doctor and I never hesitate to recommend friends to her clinic!

It's hard to say whether Dr Caplan is knowledgeable because her main goal seems to be selling - services, supplements, medication, weight loss programs. She also quotes a lot of pseudo science (a lot of what she claims is from sources that aren't peer reviewed, and she sells a line of products that aren't FDA approved. She also has a very harsh way of speaking to patients- she pushed her weight loss program on both me, and a friend of mine (who is a former patient of hers) very aggressively. What was disappointing is that as a well educated medical professional, she gets women to buy into unnecessary nonsense by getting them to self loathing. Making women feel bad about their appearance is like shooting fish in a barrel. She could use her medical expertise to make people feel good and to make positive choices that benefit them. I could add to the complaints about punctuality, rudeness etc but for me, it was really this: she's expensive and I don't pay money to be insulted. I treat people with respect and kindness and I expect the same from everyone.

My experience with Dr. Shari Caplan at Vitality MD is excellent. She has a unique approach to medicine and an abundance of knowledge. My Husband and I travel quite a distance to seek her expertise. I am very impressed with her holistic approach. My entire experience has been a positive one. The feedback I have received has been life changing. I am presently balancing my hormones with bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. I am also taking the supplements recommended, according to my blood work analysis. I have recently discovered thyroid issues that are currently being addressed. Dr. Caplan has always shown me the upmost respect and has taken the time to explain things fully in a professional manner. I truly appreciate the time and the dedication she has given my husband and myself.

I have been a patient of Dr Shari Caplan for HRT. Although I find her very smart, and well versed with information pertaining to HRT, I find the staff pushy. I always leave feeling like I have overpaid and been completely taken advantage of. I find the practitioner passive agressive.
