Dr Brian Kaplan, MD is an extremely brilliant physician and I trust him with the care of my health. Thank you, Dr Kaplan for the last three years of positive support.

Update 11/27/2024: So thankful for Dr. Kaplan and his support this past year. I have been with him since 02/2020 - five years this February. We made it through the pandemic in one piece, but it was difficult for everyone. I am on my way to being as healthy as I was at 25 and I am now 64. I have only had positive interactions with Dr. Kaplan and his staff - all top drawer medical professionals. Thankful for them as well. Keep doing the next thing!

The most-rewarding medical experience you can have over that waking up from a long serious operation (had two "sliced open" aortic valves from Cleveland Clinic IN CLEVELAND) or hearing that you "do not have cancer, " is a face to face talk with Dr. Brian Kaplan. He is brilliant, thoughtful, thorough, pleasant, meticulous, caring & concerned. Frankly MDVIP is very lucky to have him!

My primary care doc for over 5 years. He has literally saved my life with his thoroughness. Great bed side manner. Never rushed. Really cares....and so does his entire staff. Choose Dr. Kaplan as your MD Vip physician.

This summer, I was in the beautiful mountains of the Blue Ridge.
One night while sitting next to a fire pit roasting marshmallows with my friends and family, I started having sharp pains like never before in my lower left side of my abdomen, I couldn’t get up from the chair since the pain was excruciating. At this point, my son had to help me back into the house and get me into bed.
That night I tried to tuff out the pain until it went away however, the pain continued.
My wife finally talked me into going to the local small-town hospital to see if they could help me.
I do not remember much except the hospital gave me IV pain medicine which helped a little. I was taken for a cat-scan, then my wife told me that the results said I had a hole in my intestines. After spending the night, I spoke to a surgeon and asked him what is going to happen with me. He said most likely, I am going to have surgery that day.
Well once I heard that, fear started to come over me which was very unusual since I am not scared easily. Since I was in a small-town hospital, I imagined the worst outcome possible.
Lucky for me, I remembered my internal medicine Doctor, his name is Doctor Brian Kaplan out of Boca Raton Florida. Dr Kaplan has always made me comfortable when in his office or on the phone and always gave top care and advice.
So, I told my wife to call Dr Kaplan. It was after hours and she left a detailed message with his service.
At this point, I told my wife that she needed to get me out of this hospital. Like a Miracle, Dr Kaplan returned my wife’s call, it only took him 5 minutes to call her.
After my wife spoke to Dr Kaplan, he advised for me to leave the hospital and get to a bigger well-known hospital if possible. My wife tried her absolute best to get me transferred but since this was happening at the same time as COVID-19, she was told repeatedly that no beds were available.
Even though I was medicated and foggy, I saw my wife crying, so I asked her what is going on, she just said you have a hole in your intestines and I can’t get you out of this hospital.
I told my wife to get Dr Kaplan on the Phone, she did, and I had a chance to speak to him. I told him the trouble we were having getting me transferred to a bigger hospital and since he already knew my condition, he sounded genuinely concerned.
Then, Dr Kaplan said I believe I can help you, and to give him a little time and he will call me back.
Well this is where the miracle really kicked into high gear. Dr Kaplan called right back as promised and he told me he spoke to one of his friends who was on the Board at Duke. His friend took charge and got a hold of his Doctors at Duke and they arranged for me to get transported to their hospital.
The Doctors and nurses at Duke were incredible and they treated me with IV antibiotics and a NG tube to remove the bile from my system, seven day later, I was able to return home. One of the many things at Duke that impressed me, was the President of Duke came to my room and told me if there was anything I didn’t like or if I needed anything, all I needed to do was call her on the phone number she gave me and it would be taken care of immediately.
I am incredibly grateful for the care I received at Duke and the excellent attention that I received from Dr Kaplan, thankfully two weeks later I am completely better.

The very best decision I have made for my health was to entrust my care to Dr Brian Kaplan and his staff. I know no one that receives the level of care that I do. He is a brilliant diagnostician and I would not feel as well as I do today without him.

Dr Kaplan is easy to talk to and makes you feel very comfortable. He takes his time and explains issues so that you understand

Very Happy with Brian

Very unhappy with Dr Brian Kaplan. My husband got Covid and his advice was to get Covid from him and that wearing a mask is useless against protection against the virus.
In a zoom call he used profanity, which I thought how unprofessional of him.
Glad he is not my dr anymore.

I had the most terrible experience going to this awful practice. I met with Dr Kaplan and MDVIP after I had been dealing with long haul what I assume to be COVID symptoms for 8 months. I met with Dr Kaplan and explained that in the first couple months I would need a little attention because I have been suffering a lot. It has been the worst year of my life. He assured me he could help me and that he never gives up on his patients. I sent him $2200.

Their office wouldn't see me for my first appointment until 1 MONTH LATER. This is concierge. Then, I got to my appointment and he walked in the office and said he had another patient outside that he had to see who had COVID and I would need to reschedule. I didn't cause any issues because I know what it's like to go through this- I was still going through this. I caused no issues. They rescheduled me the next week.

I went in and the doctor never gave me any full physical examination- just listened to my heart and breathing and brought me in my office. He then told me his thinks I have chronic idiopathic urticaria. The immunologist had already diagnosed my with this and the paperwork was right in front of him.

Then, he spent time talking about his family, his children, everything but me as a patient and I said nothing. He didn't talk about any medicine I was taking, nothing else. He sent me on my way.

Then, I found an email describing many of my symptoms and sent them over hoping he would get back to see if I could look at another concept of care. He never emailed me back. I followed up with the office but after 5 days, I was frustrated. I called the office and they decided to RELEASE me as patient. I just broke down crying because Dr. Kaplan doesn't care about his patients. His has over 500 OF THEM! That is over $1,000,000 this doctor makes. How can you treat patients this way... I am at the lowest point of my life and to be discarded because he doesn't have 5 days to answer one email. Stay clear from his practice because he is still accepting new patients despite the fact that he has NO time to help them.

My experience with Dr. Kaplan's practice was highly disappointing, similar to other reviews I've read. I joined the MDVIP program and Dr. Kaplan's practice for specialized "concierge" medical services due to my specific health needs, paying $2500 per year for this. Initially, Dr. Kaplan seemed knowledgeable and competent. However, as time passed, his availability diminished significantly. Despite Dr. Kaplan’s assurance of 24/7 access via text to get a patient to sign up with his service, I mostly received automatic responses instructing me to call the office.
The behavior of Dr. Kaplan's staff deteriorated to the point of being unacceptable. On one occasion, they cursed at me and Dr. Kaplan made them apologize to me in person. During my last visit for a seizure, I was confronted aggressively by the front desk for not completing my annual physical, which they claimed would reflect poorly on Dr. Kaplan for MDVIP standards. He often had to apologize for his staff's behavior, errors and missed messages.
After reporting these issues to MDVIP's corporate office, I was abruptly dismissed from the practice, echoing the experiences of other patients here. It became clear that Dr. Kaplan's focus wasn't on patient health. His consultations often veered into lengthy personal stories and inappropriate comments disparaging other physicians as well as MDVIP, including his opposition to their policies. The care he provided became inconsistent and negligent.
As a side note, MDVIP has not attempted to resolve the matter, even though they are the corporation that took my payment.
Fortunately, I have since found a caring, attentive doctor with a respectful and professional staff. Sharing our experiences is vital to help others avoid substandard medical care. Knowing others have faced similar issues validates my decision to speak out about my experience.

I have been a patient for years of Dr. Kaplan.

He is warm, engaging, and responsive.

Hi prior experience working in n Emergency Room setting is a valuable asset.

Wonderful support staff as well.

Dr Kaplan has been my primary care physician for 4 years. Excellent doctor, has always been responsive and has made great health recommendations.

My interaction with Dr. Kaplan has invariably been outstanding--a gracious, and caring individual and extremely competent practitioner.

Dr. Brian Kaplan goes above and beyond to help and care for you medically. He is an excellent doctor
