Formerly Director of the Division of Pain Management in the Department of Anesthesiology and Director of Fellowship Training in Pain Management at Montefiore Medical Center, Dr. Kaplan is listed as one of the Best Pain Management Physicians in New York ("The Best Doctors in New York", New York Magazine, page 62, June 7, 1999). His interests in pain problems are varied. He judiciously tempers interventional approaches with more conservative treatments.

Since 1981, Dr. Kaplan has lectured and participated in presentations and research. He reviews articles submitted for publication and has been called upon for expert testimony in legal cases. He has published numerous medical articles and co-authored book chapters and abstracts.

Patients are seen by appointment. Submission of prior treatment records with a referral letter is required in order to maximize therapeutic planning and intervention at the initial and subsequent visits.
