Dr. Kaplan is always so happy and seems to LOvE his job. He always has a smile and a greeting for you when he enters the room. He is very patient with lots of questions and is extremely knowledgeable and up front about everything!

April 02, 2013

Dr. Kaplin had already read through a mountain of records and was already familiar with all my Many,many serious problems. He said I already know you I just didn't know what you looked like... GREAT! He looked through the papers that I brought that I received in the mail. But he knew most everything that I listed. I asked him to be honest with me about my life expectancy and what his feelings were. He was so helpful. So kind and understanding. First Doc that told me the truth about what I was facing. I appreciatied it so much and felt that I went away with a full understanding of what I was facing. What an amazing doctor. Would recommend him to EVERYONE!

April 02, 2013

Dr Kaplin is outstanding!

April 01, 2013

Dr. Kaplan was excellent and very thorough. I am a previous patient at the Clinic and he research my files with two doctors to ensure he was up to speed on my past medical experiences. After I had completed my blood tests and shots, I walked by his office and asked a few more questions. He was very willing to talk with me about concerns I had forgotten to mention in our original meeting. I found his overall approach to be very refreshing and especially appreciate his willingness to spend as much time with me as I needed during the visit.

March 25, 2013

Dr. Kaplan discussed with me tests and blood work that I needed to have done and when. He diagnosed a problem for me and provided me prescription for it. He reads my file and I feel very confident that he has my very best interest in mind. A great doctor with exceptional skills.

March 18, 2013

This visit included a family conference which was fundamental. My doc is a great guy and top notch doc..

March 12, 2013

Outstanding listener and explainer.

February 25, 2013

Dr. Kaplan is a great doctor. He's very thorough and caring.

February 18, 2013

He was a textbook expert who put into practice everything many of us human beings always wished for but usually could not find. He was kind. Informed, and way beyond my expectations as my "substitute" doctor, and he stayed with me during a long process, going in and out but letting me know why a delay.j

February 12, 2013

First time I have met Dr. Kaplan, he was professional. personable and knowledgable. Made a plan of care that made sense.

February 11, 2013

Dr. Kaplan is very kind and thoughtful.

February 04, 2013

I enjoyed meeting Dr. David Kaplan. He is competent, thorough, and I like his conservative approach. And the nurse that assisted me before meeting with Dr. Kaplan was welcoming and I felt comfortable with her as well. I really like that they set me up with an online account right there in the exam room. I commend them getting all patients using an online vehicle for communicating right away!

January 29, 2013

I couldn't be more impressed with Dr. Kaplan. Even for a visit like this where I had a number of concerns, he never makes me feel rushed or like he has someone more important waiting. He is very kind but has a direct communication style that I truly appreciate. I trust his judgment absolutely and I take his advice to heart.

January 29, 2013

Dr Kaplan was very professional and instilled confidence as we went through the exam process and in giving me his assessment and instructions

January 29, 2013

Doc and staff did fine. It was my first visit. Takes a while before I have confidence in the quality of care, but no negatives on the first visit.

January 24, 2013

I am considering transferring my primary care to Dr. Kaplan.

January 11, 2013

I love that Dr. Kaplan provides me information on the literature and current recommendations for treatment regarding my primary complaint. When there are options, he provides me with risks/benefits of each, and allows me to take an active role in decision making about treatment. As an ICU nurse, I have some baseline medical knowledge, and I feel like Dr. Kaplan recognizes that and discusses my treatment options with me as someone who can make an intelligent decision about their own care. I saw him last summer for something unrelated, and he followed up with me about that condition as well.

January 10, 2013

I am getting older so I don't know what is aging and what I need a doctor's care for?

January 07, 2013

Dr. Kaplan is outstanding. Very well-informed and empathetic

December 20, 2012

I like Dr. Kaplan because he listens and shows concern when appropriate. He is thorough.

December 13, 2012

Dr. Kaplan was excellent. I love the way he cared for my mom and spoke frankly to me about everything.

December 12, 2012

My mom back in California wished the Doctors offices there was like my experience from my conversation with her

December 10, 2012

Although I live in Malad, Idaho, I choose to go to the Madsen Clinic because I feel I am treated so well.

November 20, 2012

Great staff

November 19, 2012

I'm so happy that I found Dr. Kaplan! He's kind, thorough, informative and always takes a minute to clearly explain my diagnosis and treatment options.

November 14, 2012

I have chosen Dr. Kaplan as my primary care giver. He was very attentive to my description of my concerns. I have confidence in his skills.

November 05, 2012

Dr. Kaplan is wonderful. Has read my notes from other Drs. and is up on what's going on with my body. Listens to my concerns and understands and agrees with my belief in the mind body connection. A must for me to be on the same page with mind/body.

October 23, 2012

I've already recommended him to two friends who are looking for doctors. I really appreciate his thoroughness.

October 08, 2012

Already referred one of my friends to Dr. Kaplan.

Everything was first rate!

Dr. Kaplan was very thorough and kind. He made me feel as if I was the only person in the clinic that day!

October 05, 2012

It is encouraging to have talented Doctors like David Kaplan in the field when there are other fields which are more highly compensated. Thank you for giving us your talents.

October 05, 2012

This was an initial appointment so it will take a few more encounters to have enough information to make a firm impression.

October 04, 2012

Never before have I been treated with so much care and concern as a WHOLE person. He is very skilled at and willing to find the problem rather than just treat the symptoms. His advise and treatment has been easy to understand and follow, and has improved the quality of my life.

September 18, 2012

I had first met Dr. Kaplan about a year ago. I was new to Utah; he was in his residency. His professional manner and "art of healing" approachability were a pleasant surprise for me. It is rare in MDs (my experience over many decades) and very rare in someone his age. I feel complete confidence in David.

September 14, 2012

Dr. Kaplan was very understanding, listened to my concerns and never tried to push my care in any direction without explaining his rationale. He seemed very knowledgeable, but did not talk "over my head". I will definitely see him again, and will refer him to all my friends who are looking for primary care physicians. I had not found a primary care MD that I would continue to see until now.

September 11, 2012

Dr. Kaplan explained everything to me and gave me as much time as I needed to answer questions. Also, is soooo knowledgeable about all my conditions..Thanks so much..

September 04, 2012

I recommended him to a friend. He is knowledgeable and evidence based. He explains things well.

September 03, 2012

My wife and I were extremely impressed with Dr. Kaplan.

August 24, 2012

Dr. Kaplan is great. He seems genuinely interested in my well-being. Moreover, he is highly knowledgeable. This combined with his easy-going manner make him a very good doctor.

August 17, 2012

Dr. Kaplan did an amazing job making me feel at ease, explained in detail the approach he was taking for my care -- made sure at-least 3x I felt okay with the plan and he asked me to keep him updated post appointment. He even created a plan with me in-case I wouldn't be able to get a hold of him. Leaving the office -- i felt more educated about my condition and at ease as well as a plan for my care.

August 06, 2012

Dr. Kaplan is the sole reason why I came to Madsen Internal Medicine.

July 31, 2012

listened to my concerns offered solution

July 25, 2012

Very impressed with care

July 18, 2012

This was the second time I'd seen Dr. Kaplan and I am just loving him! He never makes me feel rushed and seems genuinely concerned with my issues.

July 17, 2012

This was a work in appointment = and so much appreciated.

July 16, 2012

July 09, 2012

Dr. Kaplan is very personable and concerned, and provides excellent patient care

July 02, 2012

Doc Kaplan seems like a good guy

July 02, 2012

I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Kaplan. He's kind, listens to all of my concerns, explains things to me, and never makes me feel rushed.

June 30, 2012

For a first visit it was fine

June 29, 2012

Dr Kaplan is one of those 'gems' in the medical field.

June 29, 2012

I feel very comfortable with my care provider

June 15, 2012

Dr. Kaplan was excellent. As a registered nurse, I am probably a bit demanding in terms of wanting to understand what the physician is considering related to my problems. I felt that Dr. Kaplan addressed my concerns and spoke to me at a level knowing I have a decent baseline of medical knowledge. Even if I may have asked some ridiculous questions, he answered them thoroughly and thoughtfully without ever seeming annoyed or in a hurry. Most importantly, I felt like he established a very good line of communication.

June 13, 2012

He was so friendly and nice - I called him David. Later, my son-in-law MD said I should always refer to Dr's by thier title. I think David Kaplan is an excellent Dr.

May 09, 2012

Great experience

May 07, 2012

Dr Kaplan was very courtious with me, he answered all question's in reference to my ongoing care.

May 04, 2012

I am very satisfied with the time Dr. Kaplan spent with me.

April 18, 2012

Dr. Kaplan was great. I wasn't sure if he was going to give me a printout with instructions, so I had to ask. He obliged without hesitation. I had a medical student, I believe his name was Rob (?) who participated in all expects of my visit. He was really great too! I liked that both Dr. Kaplan and the student made me feel comfortable enough that I could make silly jokes/comments about my condition. It helped ease my nerves to be able to laugh and not feel stupid.

April 06, 2012

The doctor gave me detailed explanation about my follow up.

April 04, 2012

Dr seemed to agree with my wife about weather I should drive or not as far as my memory when I have very little memory loss if any at all.
