“We feel that having board-certified specialists on our staff shows a commitment to providing our patients with the highest level of care possible,” said Dr. Kaplan. “It’s incredibly important to us that we keep educating ourselves on the best ways to get our patients better faster and more effectively. We’re extremely grateful for the 50 wonderful years we’ve had with our patients and are looking forward to providing them with exceptional care for many more years to come.”
Upon completing the Executive Program in Private Practice Management, Dr. Kaplan encouraged his staff to further their educations by attending an EIM program of their choosing.
