Leah Ilyse Kaplan, MD
Endocrine, Diabetes and Bone Diseases (Endocrinology)
About Me
Dr. Leah Kaplan began practicing as an Endocrinologist in 2024 and joined Mount Sinai Queens in the same year. After completing her undergraduate studies at Northeastern University, Dr. Kaplan earned her medical degree from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. She then completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Tufts Medical Center before moving to The Mount Sinai Hospital for her fellowship in Endocrinology. Dr. Kaplan is double board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in Endocrinology and Internal Medicine. In her professional community, Dr. Kaplan is a member of The Endocrine Society.
Dr. Kaplan has a special clinical interest in diabetes quality improvement. During her endocrinology fellowship at Mount Sinai, Dr. Kaplan's research focused on utilizing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to help bridge gaps in diabetes care. This research included studying CGM in women with gestational diabetes to improve detection of postpartum dysglycemia and in post-hospitalized patients who had inpatient dysglycemia to decrease hospital readmission rates. Through this research, Dr. Kaplan developed a strong interest in hospital discharge/readmission of patients with diabetes and diabetes care quality improvement.
When discussing her role in healthcare, Dr. Kaplan explains, "Healthcare can be overwhelming to navigate and I work to create an environment of mutual respect and shared decision making with each patient. I believe in developing individualized treatment plans that recognize one’s unique circumstances in order to optimize quality of care." Outside of her time with patients, Dr. Kaplan enjoys cooking, exercising, and is an avid fan of the New York Knicks.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. KAPLAN has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
