Success Stories - Paul

On February 27, 2003, my father lost his battle against diabetes. His death had a profound impact on my life. Before he died my father would explain how he had had several opportunities to keep the diabetes under control. Unfortunately, he did not follow his doctor's instructions and eat the appropriate foods. He was overweight and he had only himself to blame.

In July of 2003, I found my own weight spiraling out of control. I suffered from morbid obesity. I could not find a scale strong enough to support my weight. One hospital suggested I go to their shipping and receiving department to use the scale they use to weigh laundry before it's sent out to be cleaned. I was mortified.

I had to take action immediately. I found Dr. Kaplan's ad in the newspaper and made an appointment. Little did I know that phone call would change my life.

Meeting Dr. Kaplan for the first time, you realize he's a man on a mission. His passion for his patients is very apparent. He wants to tackle the obesity epidemic one persona at a time. His examinations are very thorough. He makes his patients feel special because he focuses his expertise on each individual's unique situation. He has demonstrated to me that he will do whatever it takes to assist his patients in their weight loss endeavor.

Dr. Kaplan's support staff is equally outstanding. They are always friendly and extremely helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Kaplan and his staff. They will make a difficult task seem effortless.

Bt the way, did I mention I've lost 120 pounds in five months!!!
