Richard J Kaplon

I am coming up on my 14th anniversary of my bi-pass surgery and feel better than I did in 2007. I am forever thank full for Dr Kaplon's talent and abilities and concern.

Dr. Kaplon performed my triple by pass 16 years ago. I never had one problem from the time of the surgery. He is also a very kind, compassionate man.

Dr. Kaplon coordinated the surgery in a week. I went in late September 2017. The initial reason for the surgery was a thoracic aortic graft. During the 6 hour surgery, he also did a triple bypass, repaired 2 valves, and tidied up a few other things. I was in ICU for 2 days, and 3 days in a regular room. There is no pain with this procedure, but I was tired for a couple of weeks. There were no complications. I was happy with everyone involved in this surgery and recovery. Dr. Kaplon is great.

Dr. Kaplon recently performed a quintuple bypass for me. Once a competitive athlete, pre-surgery I could not walk to my front mailbox. I should be dead. Dr. Kaplon not only saved my life, at 59 I’m making incredible progress with my cardio. workouts. This doctor has skills that I shall forever be thankful for.

Dr. Kaplon replaced one of my valves and repaired a second one. Without the surgery I was warned that I only had up to one year to live. The surgery was performed 4 years ago and here I am, my heart getting stronger with every passing day. My heart rate went from 15 to 50. I thank the doctor from the bottom of my heart.

Dr Kaplon did my surgery about 7 years ago and I am writing this in great health. He instilled confidence with his first visit the night before the surgery. Going over the what was to be done and could be done. Well it went from a 3 way to a 5 way during surgery. I have finally found a way to recommended him and thank him again.

Dr. Kaplon is WONDERFUL!!! We are forever GRATEFUL!!

Absolutely the best both in competence and patient care. He is a gifted surgeon who cares. Not too many fit under those two categories simultaneously.

I had a very serious Widow Maker. I was incredibly week and unable to breath. Dr.Kaplon literally saved my life. I was told that I only had days to live..this Dr.was indeed brilliant , as well as very convincing as to what to do to maintain my life. That operation was preformed 8 years ago..and everyday I thank God for having a Dr. Who was enormously gifted, exacting and to the point. I'm still here Dr. Kaplon..and taking many supplements to assure a very healthy heart. God Bless You, my friend.
