I wish these ratings had existed in 2007 when Dr. Kaplan did my surgery. After completion, I could sit on a toilet or a chair as it was too painful. I went back almost immediately on a Sunday when he was the only one there, no nurse. He said he probably put in too many stitches and without any medication, reached inside me to make the cuts, very painful. Then afterwards asked me to give him a hug. I have waited a long time to say this. I also have painful bowel movements and major constipation that did not exist prior to the surgery. He assured me mesh was the way to go to solve my problems. Nothing but problems every since. There appears to be little oversite on doctors.

OMG. I just read a review that read exactly like me and my surgery with dr.butcher. I have not been able to have sex or any NON PAINFUL SEX FOR 10 YEARS!!! That isn't right!!! This is after 2 surgeries 6 "months " apart. It is impossible for me to have a bowel movement without manual using my hands to get the stool out. It does take around 30 minutes to have a bowel movement and must have at home. The yelling and screaming scares anyone at a public bathroom. People told me this guy had died so I didn't persuade a law suit. I have gone to many gyn doctors that know this man and have commented on how dangerous he is. I can't be fixed now either.... read full review

I saw Dr. Kaplan in August of 2013 for moderate to severe prolapses in the uterus, bowel and bladder. The initial consultation went OK, except it was rushed and I had to tell him that I had a bowel prolapse at which he sighed, put the gloves back on and checked. After 20 minutes he showed me an animation of what is wrong. He explained this would be a 6-hour surgery. He then told me he would have to submit for Authorization and it would take a month. After 3 weeks, I called for status and they had not even submitted for Authorization! After another 6 weeks I had not heard a word! I called him with no answer, then I called the Insurance company and was told this was authorized... read full review
