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.
Care Provider’s Explanation
Care Provider’s Concern
Likelihood to Recommend Care Provider
Dr. Kaplan was excellent in every way. I was entirely pleased with my visit.
Dr. Kaplan was the only provider who examined me and provided the BEST care. He's outstanding with wonderful bedside manners and professional too
Dr. Kaplan is a extremely caring doctor. He explains everything clearly and answers all my questions and concerns. He also responds when I message him in mychart in a timely fashion. Most doctors don't respond at all. He always let's me know the results of my lab results the next day and I do not have to wait for my next appointment to know what course of action he will take.
