UofU Patient April 02, 2013Dr. 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!
UofU Patient April 02, 2013Dr Kaplin is outstanding!
UofU Patient April 01, 2013Dr. 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.
UofU Patient March 25, 2013Dr. 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.
UofU Patient March 18, 2013This visit included a family conference which was fundamental. My doc is a great guy and top notch doc..
UofU Patient March 12, 2013Outstanding listener and explainer.
UofU Patient February 25, 2013Dr. Kaplan is a great doctor. He's very thorough and caring.
UofU Patient February 18, 2013He 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
UofU Patient February 12, 2013First time I have met Dr. Kaplan, he was professional. personable and knowledgable. Made a plan of care that made sense.
UofU Patient February 11, 2013Dr. Kaplan is very kind and thoughtful.
UofU Patient February 04, 2013I 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!
UofU Patient January 29, 2013I 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.
UofU Patient January 29, 2013Dr Kaplan was very professional and instilled confidence as we went through the exam process and in giving me his assessment and instructions
UofU Patient January 29, 2013Doc 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.
UofU Patient January 24, 2013I am considering transferring my primary care to Dr. Kaplan.
UofU Patient January 11, 2013I 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.
UofU Patient January 10, 2013I am getting older so I don't know what is aging and what I need a doctor's care for?

UofU Patient November 05, 2012Dr. 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.

UofU Patient October 05, 2012It 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.
UofU Patient October 05, 2012This was an initial appointment so it will take a few more encounters to have enough information to make a firm impression.
UofU Patient October 04, 2012Never 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.
UofU Patient September 18, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient September 14, 2012Dr. 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.
UofU Patient September 11, 2012Dr. 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..
UofU Patient September 04, 2012I recommended him to a friend. He is knowledgeable and evidence based. He explains things well.

UofU Patient August 17, 2012Dr. 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.
UofU Patient August 06, 2012Dr. Kaplan is the sole reason why I came to Madsen Internal Medicine.
UofU Patient July 31, 2012listened to my concerns offered solution

UofU Patient July 18, 2012This 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.
UofU Patient July 17, 2012This was a work in appointment = and so much appreciated.

UofU Patient July 02, 2012Doc Kaplan seems like a good guy
UofU Patient July 02, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient June 30, 2012For a first visit it was fine
UofU Patient June 29, 2012Dr Kaplan is one of those 'gems' in the medical field.
UofU Patient June 29, 2012I feel very comfortable with my care provider
UofU Patient June 15, 2012Dr. 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.
UofU Patient June 13, 2012He 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.
UofU Patient May 09, 2012Great experience
UofU Patient May 07, 2012Dr Kaplan was very courtious with me, he answered all question's in reference to my ongoing care.
UofU Patient May 04, 2012I am very satisfied with the time Dr. Kaplan spent with me.
UofU Patient April 18, 2012Dr. 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.
UofU Patient April 06, 2012The doctor gave me detailed explanation about my follow up.
UofU Patient April 04, 2012Dr 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.
