Improved quality of life.

Very satisfied and grateful for my friend who shared their experience with me. The practice truly offers an integrated and integral approach to health. I’ve had serious health concerns attended to (I wasn’t imagining things) that were ignored for at least a decade and would have led to severe health decline. I’ve learned better ways to contribute to my own good health and enjoy a very improved quality of life due to the people behind the professional services offered through the Kaplan Center. Bravo! – Heather

They understand… chronic pain.

Committed.

These people care. They are committed to exploring solutions to complex medical issues. – Joyce

Leaps and bounds of remedy and cure.

I have been asked to provide my assessment of the care that I’ve received from KAPLAN. Here’s my assessment. First, “conventional medicine” has not been able to provide me with a remedy or cure for what ails me; “contemporary medicine” has failed and in my best assessment they will continue to fall short. Second, KAPLAN has, indeed, provided something far better than “medical conventional theories”. KAPLAN has provided me with leaps and bounds of remedy and cure. Sure, there was a learning curve, yet, I prevailed. I promise you! I am deeply grateful and looking forward to living a long, comfortable, and healthy life with the help of the wonderful medical staff at KAPLAN. – MJ

Perfect.

Everything was perfect, from therapy to front desk friendliness. – Diane

They take time to listen and ask questions.

My husband and I have been patients at Kaplan Clinic for over 10 years. They take time to listen and ask questions to really get to the bottom of issues. They offer a wide range of expertise within the practice and do a fantastic job of taking a holistic approach to healthcare. We feel we get excellent, comprehensive medical care from a compassionate team! Thank you! – Kimberly

The best medical care in the area.

I have been going to this practice for 30 years. This practice offers the best medical care in the area. They stay abreast of the best medical research, and they really care for their patients.– Allyn

I’m now in the process of a slow and steady recovery.

Dr. Kaplan and the Kaplan Center are the reason I have finally been able to diagnose what has been ailing me for years. I had been to numerous other traditional and functional medicine doctors for a myriad of mental and physical symptoms, and none of them ever mentioned the possibility of mold toxicity. For the first time, I have been able to take appropriate supplements that immediately “turn the lights back on” in my head. I’m now in the process of a slow and steady recovery due to Dr. Kaplan and the team. The only downside I must mention is that paying for medical care out of pocket isn’t cheap. Much reform is yet needed for the medical system at large. – Michael

Incredibly refreshing.

I have never had a medical professional spend so much time with me to try to understand my health from a holistic perspective. Every little thing was acknowledged and helped me to see that it’s all connected. It was incredibly refreshing and made me hopeful! – Jennifer J.

Dr. Gary and all the staff are exceptional.

As always, a good experience for me. Dr. Gary and all the staff are exceptional. As if this weren’t enough, Kumba, the receptionist stayed with me when I was not able to summon an Uber. She tried several things, by phone and online, until she found a regular taxi and got me home safely. – Anne

Many thanks to the Kaplan Center team.

I am a new patient at the Kaplan Center and already some of my medical mysteries and pain sources are identified. Now, the hard work comes to reverse my dis-ease and move toward wellness. I will devote this new year 2022 to getting better. Many thanks to the Kaplan Center team of doctors, physical therapists and nutritionists for their wisdom and support. – Ann

I would rate Kaplan as high as can be rated.

I would rate Kaplan as high as can be rated. The office staff is very helpful and my doctor [Dr. Lilienfield] is awesome. – James

After months of searching for answers, I am so glad to have found the Kaplan Center.

I was met with compassionate care from the moment I stepped in the door. The administrative staff (Denita) is world-class and willing to go out of the way to help in any way for patients. Harpreet is one of the most caring providers I’ve ever met. Her humble confidence and the way she passionately wants to see her patients get healthy is so encouraging. She is extremely knowledgeable and she is also an amazing listener, understanding exactly what her patient is going through so she can give the best medical care. After months of searching for answers, I am so glad to have found the Kaplan Center. I honestly would travel across the country if I had to, in order to receive their medical care. – Caitlin

Excellent and caring medical practitioners.

Gary Kaplan and his associates are excellent and caring medical practitioners. They listen carefully to the “whole person” and they have all the skills of traditional medicine as well as expertise in acupuncture and other paradigms. I highly recommend them, including for hard to diagnose ailments. – Jill

Amazing experience!

Great service. Quick. Knowledgeable. I felt heard, validated and helped. Fantastic group! – Christin

I feel 20+ years younger with a lot more energy.

Can’t say enough good things about the Kaplan Center. With a history of migraines, Dr. Kaplan and his entire team have helped me to address the “root causes” of my health problems. I’m pleased to report I’ve dropped 25+ pounds, and am no longer on ANY medications. I also feel 20+-years younger with a lot more energy for my job and family. I highly recommend the entire team at the Kaplan Center! – Laura

My safe harbor in heavy storms.

The Kaplan Clinic has been my safe harbor in heavy storms. Every practitioner that I saw and all staff members I interacted with have gone above and beyond what I expected to treat me and my medical challenges with respect, intelligence and the greatest concern. I cannot thank them adequately for all the help and aid I received from them. – JoMarie

She is a true healer.

Another wonderful appointment with Pat. She is a true healer. Everyone at Kaplan is so kind and professional. I appreciate everyone I work with there who have helped maintain my road to health. I really don’t know where I would be without these caring and talented practitioners. – Karen

I am extremely grateful for Dr. Gary’s diagnosis.

Twenty-five years ago, I came to the Kaplan Center to find relief from a pinched, cervical nerve. I got the help I needed, and because of that first positive experience with Dr. Gary and the Kaplan Center, I have stayed with the practice since then. More recently, I was suffering from extreme pain in my side that wouldn’t go away. I didn’t know what could possibly be causing the pain, so I made an appointment to see Dr. Gary. When I met with him, he did a thorough check-up, evaluating my medical history and current symptoms, and diagnosed me as having toxin build-up, otherwise known as “biotoxicity.” I underwent a few tests to confirm the toxicity diagnosis. Once the diagnosis was confirmed, I went on medication to treat toxicity, and sure enough, it helped! Dr. Gary is very up-to-date with medical research and treatments, and he had a real understanding of what I was going through. He processes information in a way a lot of other doctors don’t: Listening wholeheartedly and thinking about every aspect of your symptoms before laying out a treatment plan. He treats patients holistically. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Gary’s diagnosis and treatment and have such gratitude for the Kaplan Center. – S.K.

Mind, body, and spirit medicine.

I appreciate the telemedicine visits with Dr. Lisa and Nour Amri. While out of Virginia, I can maintain mind, body, and spirit medicine that works well for me. – Patricia

The entire staff is terrific.

I’ve been a patient at this practice since 1992! What more do I need to say? This group offers a range of functional medicine treatments unlike any other practice in DMV that I’m aware of. The doctors are always learning, and the entire staff is terrific. – Allyn

True care.

I’ve been going to the Kaplan Center for more than 30 years. Wonderful medicine and physical therapy, gorgeous integrity, true care. – Rose

First-rate care.

I have used the Kaplan Center for years and have received first-rate care throughout. Dr. Lisa is wonderful and has wisely assisted me through several health challenges. – Michael

Great experience at the Kaplan Center.

Great experience at the Kaplan Center. I had acupuncture and craniosacral therapy. I came in in pain and with digestive issues. I came out pain-free and my digestion feels better. I feel more balanced. -Maria

Kaplan Center saved my life.

Kaplan Center saved my life. Could not get answers from multiple other physicians and traveled over 1000 miles to go to the Kaplan Center. Lyme disease was the diagnosis and had already started to cause me osteoarthritis. I am much better now and have follow-up telephone appts. with Dr. Lisa. She is awesome! However, Dr. Gary is awesome too and everyone on staff knows what they are doing and when to do it. If you are having pain issues of any kind, PLEASE do not waste precious time while your body wastes away. Contact the Kaplan Clinic immediately. You will be so thankful you did. – Janice

Professional, personable, exceptionally efficient.

Jessica is an outstanding PT. She’s truly one-of-a-kind and exceptional in every way. Kumba is wonderful. Professional, personable, exceptionally efficient. She’s the best front desk manager the Clinic has ever had. – Lucile

A superb practice.

Amazing doctors, nurses, and staff. The Kaplan Center is a superb practice with incredible care given to all patients! – Clara

The patient care is so customized at The Kaplan Center

I recently had a ZOOM appointment with Dr. Lisa. The experience was seamless and excellent! The patient care is so customized at The Kaplan Center, from the office, nurses, and doctors. It’s a good feeling to be treated as an individual. Thank You, everyone, at The Kaplan Center – Jennifer

I am so happy I found this place!

The team at Kaplan is so friendly I felt I was at home. Robin and Nash were so attentive and Dr. Nayo took so much time trying to figure out what was wrong with me and how my pain was manifesting. I am so happy I found this place! – Haneen

A long-time patient.

Have been a long-time patient of Kaplan Clinic. When none of the traditional methods could fix my frozen shoulder, acupuncture at Kaplan worked! – Anita

Incomparable care.

I’m so grateful for the excellent and incomparable care and health guidance I have received from Dr. Lisa Lilienfield, Nour Amri, Rebecca Berkson. Professional, kind, caring, knowledgeable, creative solution finders! – Heather

The practice is amazing!

I think everything about the practice is amazing. I see Rebecca for acupuncture, she is phenomenal, and has helped me with a couple of very difficult problems. Everyone I have seen and interacted with is nice, professional, and caring. – Ann

A lifeline for my chronic pain.

Kaplan has been a lifeline for me with my chronic pain. I was at other facilities prior to Kaplan. The care, compassion, and knowledge of the medical staff have exceeded my expectations. They helped me put my life back together physically and emotionally from medical complications related to transvaginal mesh surgeries. I continue to have some pain, but my quality of life has tremendously improved because of the care I received at Kaplan. It definitely took a team effort and that has made all the difference in my recovery. I would highly recommend considering Kaplan’s team of professionals for your medical care. – Jodie

Happy patients for 20 years.

Sue and I have been happy patients of The Kaplan Center for our general, PT, nutrition, and meditation health needs for more than 20 years. As competitive athletes, we sought out the best and found it here. They also are very careful in these COVID times. – Noah

They treat me so well

Every team member at Kaplan makes me smile because they treat me so well — but also because they treat each other so well. The level of respect, professional decorum, and care shown at Kaplan cannot be beaten. – Bethanne

This is how medical care should be.

The team is working with me to really get to the root of my digestive issues. The holistic approach Dr. Lilienfield and the dietitian, Nour, have provided is unparalleled and the medical assistants and office staff are top-notch professionals. This is how medical care should be. – Ashley

They’ve made a significant difference in how I feel.

Having the comprehensive holistic approach to care and the innovations in preventative care and treatments keeps me healthier than standard care. How many really know what their magnesium levels are and why it’s important? IV drips have really made a significant difference in how I feel. No regular doctor looks at this as an indicator of health. – Linda

Very well run.

The Kaplan Center is very well run. Staff and doctors are caring, and they offer a variety of treatment modalities for your health and wellness. Doctors take the time to really talk to you and get to know you and the medical issue you’re coming in with. Since my physiology is very sensitive, I value having alternative treatment modalities in addition to traditional Western modalities. – Mary Jean

They have helped me and can help you.

They have helped me and can help you. If you aren’t sure what is wrong with you, go to The Kaplan Center. After more than a year of hurting and getting no diagnosis or wrong diagnosis, I finally went to The Kaplan Center and got diagnosed with Lyme disease. I’ve been on treatment going on 5 months and starting to feel like I have my life back. Do not give up, go to Kaplan and get your life back. I see Dr. Lisa, but also know Dr. Gary. They are all good. – Janice

The future of “good medicine”

I cannot say enough about this clinic and its staff. You do not have to wait to see what the future of what “good medicine” should be, it is happening right now in the present at this clinic and with this staff. I have actively worked in the medical world for over 40 years and this clinic outdoes any of the facilities I have worked at. They “get it”! Try The Kaplan Center before you give up hope. I traveled over a thousand miles to get there for my appointment and it was worth every mile. Thank you Dr. Gary for having the forward-thinking to create this clinic and assess and treat the whole body! And thank you Robin and all the other staff for keeping the flow going! – Jan

Discovered what other doctors had missed.

Dr. Kaplan and his team are very thorough and very nice. He was able to discover the cause of a long-term medical issue that other doctors had repeatedly missed. – Emily

Good, safe hands.

I appreciate how The Kaplan Center is keeping patients safe during this crisis. I felt very comfortable and in good safe hands. Everyone was wearing masks and they made sure they mitigated any risk to the patients. I feel so much better that I got my PT in with Jessica. – Linda

First-rate treatment.

First-rate. Everyone here always greets me by name, asks after my family and one never feels hurried. While I’m there it feels like I’m the center of attention and everyone is focused on my care. I know there are others there at the same time, but it is always the same treatment. – Randall

A whole-body approach.

All the employees at Kaplan are so knowledgeable, nice, and kind. This includes receptionists, technicians, nurses, and doctors! One of the things I like the best about The Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine is they treat your entire body; not just a stomach, liver, or head. They consider an overall approach to a problem. – Pamela

So grateful to Dr. Gary and his team.

I’m consistently amazed by the care and health that had been restored and supported after a long chronic illness. So grateful to Dr. Gary and his team of experts (doctors, nurses, front desk staff) at Kaplan Center. I recommend anyone who is struggling to find solutions to their own or loved one’s health issues. – Mary Ann

I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

The Kaplan Center has served as my primary care physician for many years. I can’t imagine going anywhere else. They sincerely care about you and your wellbeing. It is a ‘one-stop shop’ for me. I have no other doctors except a dentist, ophthalmologist, and dermatologist. I am 76 and in good health. I give them a lot of credit for this as they are multi-faceted there. Whatever ails you, someone there can fix it! – Mary

Thank you for investing in me and my future!

I wish that I could put into words how grateful I am for Dr. Gary Kaplan and the staff at The Kaplan Center. I wish that I had found Dr. Gary 19 years ago, my life would be so much different. In 2001, when I was just 13 years old, my health issues began with a sprained ankle. We have been to over 20 specialists, participated in patient trials, had hundreds of procedures, tried old and new medicine, and anything anyone else suggested to try to relieve the incredible amount of symptoms I was experiencing, the worst of which were pain, fatigue, gastrointestinal, and headaches. We went to a specialist for each of my symptoms. Doctors were able to put a bandaid on the situation enough for me to live as normal of a life as possible. So many times the doctors would say “this is my hail mary – if this doesn’t work – you will need to go to a different doctor”. I had given up on doctors and was trying to live my life the best that I could. That is when I found Dr. Gary. One of my friends persistently suggested that I visit The Kaplan Center. I have been a patient of Dr. Gary’s since January 2018 and I can honestly say I have HOPE for my future. Having hope and being able to make plans for what my future can hold instead of just trying to make it through each day is one of the amazing benefits I have received since I began treatments at The Kaplan Center. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Gary and the staff as they continue to work tirelessly to help me regain my life back. The standard of care at The Kaplan Center is so different than that of any office I have been to. Every time I call into the office I speak to a live human being (not a recording). If I have to leave a message I never go longer than 24 hrs without getting a callback – most of the time within just a few hours of calling. The staff is so supportive, helpful, and attentive to all of my needs. It is night and day compared to my pain management center that I was previously going to. I always feel confident that I will be listened to and heard by all of the staff at The Kaplan Center. I can not say enough good things about this office – they have seen what is wrong with the health care system and decided to make a change. I am incredibly grateful to all of you! Thank you for investing in me and my future! – Joan H.

Some of the best doctors in the region.

I am so grateful for the excellent care that everyone at The Kaplan Center provides. I always feel that my concerns are addressed by skilled and attentive medical professionals, and feel so fortunate to have found such an integrative level of care from some of the best doctors in the region, along with physical therapists, a dietitian, yoga practitioner, acupuncturist, and PRP injections and IV supplementation – all in one setting! Thank you, Kaplan Center! – Lois

The staff is always great, friendly, and helpful.

The therapist was able to adjust and align my jaw so that I could chew food more normally. Along with that, the congestion I’ve had for months is clearing! The staff is always great, friendly, and helpful. – Gail

Treatment and patient care are first-rate.

I have been a patient at the Kaplan Center for nearly 30 years and the treatment and patient care is first-rate. Treatment is not about just treating the symptoms but finding the root cause of the problem. Dr. Lisa is a great listener and has guided me through life’s ups and downs as well as some serious health issues. The Kaplan Center and its staff are the best! – Jennie
