Excellent medical knowledge and bedside manner. Long wait times that negatively impact scheduling.

Amazing doctor and person. He has been our family doctor for over 40 years. Delivered my children and grandchildren! Takes time to listen to you and answers your questions.

Dr. K is a wolf in sheep's clothing with a huge god-complex. He caused irreparable damage to my health, my quality of life, which in turn, caused irreparable damage to my children and husband.
When I first met Dr.K I I had some preexisting health issues, but I was 100lb physically active and mentally fit. He my husbands' family's Dr. from the time he opened his practice. He delivered all my husband's siblings, so I entrusted him when I fell pregnant myself. That's where my nightmare began.

He smiles when he talks and is soft spoken, so at first, he came across as empathetic and reassuring, but over time, his smile and speech came across as condescending and placating.
He would habitually ignore my complaints and concerns, dismissing nearly everything as "Stress" and when I'd ask for a referral to a specialist, he'd refuse, saying it wasn't necessary and that if needed he could do everything a specialist could do himself. Some examples:
My urine was RED and I had a history of Kidney Stones, so I recognized the pain, but he insisted there was no stones because he couldn't see them in an ulltra sound and refused to send me to a urologist, saying that the stones were pregnancy related and since I had given birth, it couldn't be stones. I ended up in the ER the same night due to pain and they gave me a Urology referral. Dr. K was livid that I went to the hospital and when I eventually passed the stone, I brought it in a jar and presented it to him. He was dismissive and didn't apologize or admit he made a mistake. A year later, I went to see him about something else and he insisted it was stress induced "general malaise". When I tried to explain why it wasn't, he reminded me of the time I mistakenly thought I had a kidney stone, insinuating that I was histrionic and that he knows best, reminding me as he often did, about his years of experience etc...I immediately reminded him that I DID have a kidney stone and HE was the mistaken one. He laughed it off and prescribed me a medication for depression and chronic pain.
The medication made some of my symptoms worse and it also made me go from 100lbs to 135lbs in a short span of time. Even after 5 kids, I never weighed over 105lbs. When I tried to explain myself, he insisted that I just needed a higher dose and that I needed to control my food portioning. Thing is, one of my complaints/symptoms from the start was no appetite and throwing up at least twice a day. I barely ate and had to be given IV drips due to dehydration every few months. I also had terrible migraines and when I said the meds were making them worse, he flat out said, no they aren't. I just 'think' so because being a mom of '5 is too stressful', that I'm 'doing too much'. When I'd insist that I ENJOY being a mom and everything else I did and that being sick all the time was the REAL cause of my stress, he would use that gentle voice and smile to gaslight me.

For YEARS, I would go to an appointment with every intention of being heard and validated, but I'd leave feeling stupid and histrionic. Several years, several lost arguments, several misdiagnoses, several failures to diagnose, several refusals to refer and 60lbs later, I reached a breaking point. I went to Dr.K because I was having heart palpitations that would begin shortly after taking the meds he gave me and he didn't just gaslight me this time, he outright chastised me. I literally broke down crying at my pharmacist's because I couldn't bring myself to refill my meds and I couldn't get another Dr., because Dr. K used his influence to prevent me from getting a different doctor. My pharmacist (best person ever) comforted me, validated my suspicions about the meds causing the palpitations (a know side effect that is a sign to immediate stop taking them btw) and he personally helped me get in to a medical clinic that is one of the best and therefore, one of the hardest clinics to get in to.
Thankfully they accepted me and despite Dr. K's repeated refusal to transfer my records (had to go in person and argue for hours), I was able to make the transfer. After ONE APPOINTMENT I was referred to several specialists and as it turns out, I should NEVER been given the meds that Dr. K had me on for over a decade! What was causing the nausea, lack of appetite and dehydration from vomiting? A hiatal hernia, that was diagnosed with ONE X-RAY! I was also diagnosed with IBS, PCOS and other health conditions, all within a short period of time. I love my new Doctor and her colleagues and though I'll never fully recover from all the damage he did, with the help of my new Drs., I've been slowly but surely been climbing out of the pit of health-despair Dr. K put me in.
I know I wrote a lot, but I only shared the tip of the Dr. K incompetency iceberg. I know I'd be dead if I stayed on with him. I also know several other patients he's misdiagnosed, mistreated, refused treatment to and whose lives he's endangered. Dr.K should be Dr. NOT OK

A very patient and attentive doctor. I've been seeing him for nearly 20 years. He takes time with each patient, so sometimes you have to wait. When you do get to see him he doesn't rush the appointment and responds to questions and concerns. There are a couple of very negative reviews on this forum but they don't align with my experiences with this trusted doctor.

Dr. Kaplovitch, Harvey a most compassionate and loving person to me, He takes time to listen and advises carefully with full follow ups. Dr. K's empathy is second to none and never judgemental applying himself totally to the situation required with old family-like values. My personal life was in shambles for years in very difficult situation and a large family with problems. Dr.K's patience and love for his calling re-engineered my personal life to today at 52 I am still strong and reasonably healthy makes me feel very welcome into CANADA. One cannot ask for more as his giving is total. I must also include his staff they are kind, polite, and very efficient. I always say to my friends and family I do not know god but my trust is completely in Dr. H. Kaplovitch. God Bless him and give a happy & healthy life.
