My hip felt like it was dislocating and causing tremendous pain in my hip flexors. My Orthopedist told me surgery would put me on crutches for over a month!! Dr Kaplan gave me a chiropractic adjustment and a couple of exercises, which I do every day, and I now can go weeks without pain! This, and all his advice thru the years, makes him the best doctor I know. read more

Dr. Kaplan has a fantastic book. It is an easy read. I did not know that drinking Gatorade was bad for the brain. I drink a ton of it. And I found out that some of my eating habits are bad for me. It was eye opening. read more

Dr Kaplan and his staff truly care about their clients and they practice what they teach! Functional means treating each person individually. They look at ALL factors leading to the health issues I/we have. After years of frustration I believe I have found my goldmine of health care and wellness. I've been seeing Dr Kaplan and his highly trained staff for over a month now. My original complaint was vertigo. With their wholistic approach I not only experience almost complete absence of dizziness, vertigo, off balance but a feeling of better overall health. My brain feels sharper and less scattered. You will have homework to do but, in my opinion , homework ( simple and short), is healthier than taking pills. Dr. Kaplan gets to the root of the problem. He does not provide medication that just mask symptoms. At Kaplan Brain and Body you will receive the individual attention and care you deserve. I know I have. Believe it or not Dr. Kaplan loves when I ask questions about my health. I HIGHLY recommend Kaplan Brain and Body! read more

Before meeting Dr Kaplan I was an anxious wreck, suppressed motivation, panic like symptoms, unfocused, and was dealing with GERD and constant headaches. In my first meeting with Kaplan at the NJ office we were able to plan out how to better it and treatments were determined there after. The treatments were all non-invasive, non-surgical, and non-medicated. Over the past 5 visits I have undergone a few treatments. Allow me to explain, there was (1) peripheral nerve stimulation where light electrical impulses to peripheral nerves, via a small device which helps disrupt pain signals before they reach the brain (2) Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy where 100% oxygen is meant to enter the body to heal tissues in the body. (3) Memory Game exercises were done to help me with my coordination and in turn my focus. All therapies really helped elevate my mood and energy levels so much so that I feel as if his advises from changes to organic whole foods to when to fast really helped me connect my brain and my body to be as optimal as I could be. My advice should you go to Kaplan is to be patient because he has your back. ALso shout out to Paulina and Erika from the NJ Office me and my girlfriend really appreciate their hospitality. read more

I've seen real progress since starting treatment here, and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. highly recommend Dr Kaplan' for brain and body read more

The attention and quality of care is friendly and professional. However the reimbursement with Medicare is almost non existent.

Whether brief or lengthy, any review I compose for Kaplan Brain and Body cannot adequately convey how immensely helpful he and his practice have been to me. I had already been familiar with him from reading his columns in the local newspaper, listening to his AM radio show, and even meeting his dad (also a doctor) at the neighborhood track. Dr. Kaplan's embrace of natural and holistic health habits had always resonated with me; however, I never thought I would become a patient until a particularly bad year of migraines nudged me to make that first phone call. Currently a middle-aged elementary school teacher, I had experienced rare and moderate ocular migraines since childhood. A likely combination of aging, hormones, stress, and a head injury seven years prior culminated in one recent school year with at least ten migraines. The headache episodes were increasing in frequency, aura intensity, pain, nausea, and days-after light sensitivity. My primary care physician, family, and friends understandably told me simply to connect with a typical neurologist for prescriptions or injections. I had always leaned toward more conservative and less invasive medical treatment, so I decided to devote my summer months off from school to exploring what Dr. Kaplan might offer. (I answered loved ones' skepticism with an invitation to tease, "I told you so!", if Dr. Kaplan's treatment fell flat.) I was amazed when Dr. Kaplan's intake eye and brain scans revealed health details about me that he could only have known if I had told him myself. (Other than presenting with migraines, I had not divulged much about my past medical history or current health status and habits.) It was fascinating to learn how my dysregulated nervous system and unbalanced brain activity were manifesting as migraines in my particular situation. Already familiar with "physical therapy" (i.e., "rehab") -- and the resulting improvement -- during previous bouts with knee, hamstring, or hip inflammation, I was all-in with Dr. Kaplan's idea of "neurological physical therapy." That summer, I went weekly for what was effectively "brain rehab." I learned practices and habits to engage my nervous sytem, brain, eyes, and balance. I became familiar with terms like "vagus" and "vestibular" -- and how these terms play into my well-being. I also received cold-laser treatments and head / neck / back adjustments. Outside of appointments, I faithfully did the exercises at home on my own. I made it through that summer with only one migraine, facing the new school year with a mix of hope (but still some lingering worry). Remarkably, that new school year saw me suffer only two migraines. I realize -- and Dr. Kaplan had explained from the start -- that I will never be "cured" of migraines. However, I can have the upper hand in managing them. Since I now know the underlying causes of my migraines -- and I have acquired proven methods to prevent (or lessen them if they do happen) -- I now have a sense of agency with them (as opposed to being victim to them). After those initial eight weeks of summer "brain rehab," I went back to school and weened off my office visits to Dr. Kaplan. I went every two weeks, then three weeks, and now I continue to see him monthly. I continue faithfully to perform my exercises and habits at home. They take some time and discipline, but they are well worth it, because I feel so much better. It is worth noting that in addition to migraine relief, I feel a palpable increase in my overall sense of calm, emotional regulation, and mental clarity. Better brain health -- and feeling empowered by my role in that -- has undoubtedly made my professional and personal lives better, too. A fun and fringe benefit is that I can incorporate many of Dr. Kaplan's practices and mindsets into my daily teaching and interactions with my young students. I have sung Dr. Kaplan's praises to so many others, and I have recommended his practice to anyone suffering a health issue and not wanting to pursue the typical Big Medicine route -- and I will continue to speak highly of him and his philosophy. To Dr. Kaplan and your amazing ladies assisting you (I love them all!) -- I count you among the many blessings I have in my life right now. read more

I came upon Dr. Kaplan during a visit to a health fair. I took a free eye-type of test, which indicated some irregularities - so i set up a complimentary evaluation at his practice. After this evaluation (which included more comprehensive tests, etc.), he stated that I could start treatment after having some blood work done to pinpoint possible issues. After his office received my results, I had my first treatment with Dr. Kaplan. He went over my results with me including recommendations for dietary/lifestyle changes and exercises to do at home. He also performed some chiropractic adjustments (which felt amazing!), and the visit concluded with his assisted performing some exercises. Both Dr. Kaplan and his entire staff have so far been both accommodating & helpful in explaining my treatment plan and ensuring I had no other questions. I would recommend his practice if you're looking for a doctor that will actually identify and treat the root cause of your issue(s), instead of just prescribing a pill and sending you on your way like some others will. read more

Dr. Kaplan and the staff are very attentive to my needs, and the needs of the other patients. It is one of the few doctors offices I have been to where the patients are happy to be there, because they are getting results. Dr. Kaplan's treatment and simple exercizes have help me recover from injuries suffered from a concussion a few years ago, after diagnosing things that I couldn't do that I never noticed. As well as helping heal my back pain which is why I went to him in the first place. A previous review said they were all about the money, and I have found that couldn't be further from the truth. read more

I met Dr. Kaplan at the Open Center and became aware if Functional Neurology. He offered us a free consultation, which I took, and could not believe how the brain's energy could be measured and corrected. My motivation and multi tasking skills have really improved just by doing brain exercises. Check him out. read more

I was diagnosed with a recurrence of Lyme disease and I did not want to take antibiotics again. I have been reading Dr Kaplan's column in my local newspaper each week and when he wrote about Lyme and offered a free evaluation, I decided to make an appointment. After a blood test, he did not believe I had Lyme disease. He explained the importance of stimulating the vagus nerve to balance the body. I was given exercises to do at home and each session his assistants gave me special exercises to sharpen my brain function . After a few months I am much improved. I no longer have the extreme fatigue that made everyday activities difficult. I believe I improved because I incorporated his exercises into my daily routine and never missed a day. Dr Kaplan is an extremely caring doctor who is always willing to answer any questions. His office staff is vey friendly and the whole atmosphere is very positive. It is a pleasure to go to my appointments. I totally recommended this doctor. read more

I haven't been a patient for that long but I already see such an improvement. Dr. Kaplan is great and the staff is amazing here.
