"I saw Dr. Kaplan for a retinal exam. The procedure was extremely uncomfortable and even painful at times. I understand that this is the nature of certain procedures, but his bedside manner in my case was awful. I was gripping my fingers from the amount of discomfort and at one point asked if I could take a break from the exam - I needed a respite from the discomfort and a chance to bring my nerves under control. He did not ask if I was doing okay, either then or at any other point during the exam, and also proceeded with the exam moments later without first checking to see if I was ready to continue. He never offered any reassurance or empathetic communication when I was clearly uncomfortable and distressed throughout the procedure's duration. Afterward, he asked, "Now, how bad was that?" as though my discomfort and nerves were just a sign of hypersensitivity, and then ignored my response. I left feeling a lack of regard for my sense of comfort. Overall, it was an upsetting experience. ...
If it is important for you to be evaluated by someone who will be compassionate and actively empathetic about your experience in their office, I would avoid this doctor. "
