Dr. James Kaplan, MD

Dr. Kaplan was extremely knowledgeable, professional, caring, a good listener, and analyst for my pulmonary and sleep disorders. He was also personable and did everything he could for me. He was so dedicated to his patients that he would make rounds late at night. In my opinion, he is the best pulmonologist in the metro area.

Dr. Kaplan treated my late husband before he died at Overland Park Regional Hospital. Unfortunately, Dr. Kaplan tried to profit off my husband's illness by insisting that I have him moved to my home, set up a hospital room for him so that a respiratory company he had ownership in could provide his respiratory needs there. He tried to convince me that our insurance would pay for the necessary equipment and his care. I confirmed that this was not the case with the insurance company. Dr. Kaplan was livid when he learned that I had consulted with them and learned that he was lying to me. I would be very careful if you are a patient or have a loved one in his care. He is only out for making more money at your expense.

My visit went very smoothly. My breathing test was on time and the therapist was delightful. Dr. Kaplan was very thorough and was receptive to my summary of my cough. We’re all puzzled. He did an excellent job.

My visit as others in the past was excellent. No wait, detailed update on my sleep program and consistent follow up. Great experience.

I visited with Dr. Kaplan via video chat on behalf of my father-in-law, Charles Williams. (He does not have a phone that will allow such a video visit, so I facilitated the chat.) Charles was very pleased with the attention he received from Dr. Kaplan. The visit was pretty brief, but Dr. Kaplan ordered an oxygen tank for Charles and he seems to be sleeping much better as a result. (Dr. Dan Knight)

Dr. Kaplan listens carefully, explains well, is thorough, and always prepared to explain test results. He is efficient, on time, and has empathy for his patients. He was one of my doctors in the hospital several years ago when I was sent there by ambulance from another doctor. During the course of 5 days, I was so impressed with his manner of care and desire to find a solution that I said that I wanted to be his patient. I continue to be pleased with the great care I received from Dr. Kaplan and his staff.

Dr. Kaplan and his staff are always knowledgeable, patient, understanding and caring. Dr. Kaplan has improved the quality of my life by diagnosing and treating a condition that other doctors over the years couldn't help. He listens extremely well and is always cheerful and positive. I have immense confidence in his care and I would recommend him highly to others. At the bottom on the ratings I intended to check 5 stars for all categories but it does not appear that way, and I was unable to correct my error.

I have been a patient of Dr. James Kaplan for almost 40 years & he is very knowledgeable, compassionate, friendly, wonderful listener & does not rush through your appointment. I am truly grateful in having Dr. Kaplan as my lung doctor & hope to continue with him for another 40+ years.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kaplan's for at least 20 years. He is very professional and takes time to get to know his patient. If one thing doesn't work he tries something else. I have the most confidence in him as a Doctor and would highly recommend him.

Dr. Kaplan has the gift of explanation. He is refreshingly easy to understand and spends the right amount of time with his patients, at least from my purview. Dr. Kaplan's reassuring manner is one you wish all your doctors possessed. Add to that his wealth of knowledge, and you have a prescription for a doctor you would highly recommend to all your friends and family.

Dr Kaplan is by far the best Doctor in the Greater Kansas City area. His knowledge does not stop at pulmonary he looks at all sides of your condition before making a plan to get you healthy again. He does not just refer you to someone else. He has been my Doctor for 30 years and I would recommend him to anyone. He always takes his time to listen and never makes you feel rushed.

I've been seeing Dr. Kaplan for at least five years now. I've found him to always be professional and friendly. He takes time to answer my questions and explains things to me in a way I can understand. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Dr. Kaplan has many years in this industry, and he came highly recommended. From my initial appointment, he took a lot of time to get to know me and my health history. He then was able to run additional tests needed to fully assess my situation. I would strongly recommend Dr. Kaplan and his team of Associates.

Everyone is helpful and professional. Appointments are always on time. Dr Kaplan spends an appropriate amount of time explaining test results and advising on ways to improve conditions.
