Barry Kaplan, MD, Hickory NC

I was referred to Dr. Kaplan from my Family Dr. He reviewed test results, histories, and years long trial procedures, concluded surgery was not the answer, my pain was nerve root damage. He referred for spinal cord stimulator. My life is now normal.

Had high hopes after hearing about Dr. Kaplan but sadly my "Brief" experience at my recent appt.was abysmal.
Seems he decided my fate before even attending to me and even though I was outwardly distraught as was my Wife he gave the impression he could not be bothered, and after a cursory hold up your hands type exam, I was told He could do nothing for me, my history is complex with 2 prior spine surgeries and years of therapy, I was only trying to convey my recent symptoms which have become quite worrisome and disruptive to my daily life, but never got the chance, I was then told I may have "Epilepsy" and with me and the Wife in tears he left.
I am seeking out more options about being treated so poorly and not given any "Details" as to why
Much more to this but typing is very difficult.

After upper neck surgery, left me with severe pain that can only be controlled with continuous pain management injections. Only saw him a total of 15 minutes through the process. Good luck getting to talk to him after. Don't let him touch you. Find another

Absolutely trustworthy and top notchsurgeon!
I've known others who also recommend him highly. (Dancers)
He perormed a spinal fusion in 2017- after years of PAIN PAIN PAIN.
I tried chiropractor, physical therapy, shots- you name it.
My 90 year-old Mother told me only surgery was going to work, and she was right.
Always listen to your Mother (LOL)
