Would recommend Dr kaplowitz highly—— super nice
Great doctor, clean office, decent to none wait time. Front desk could be better. First time I tried to switch my appointment time with my family member’s appointment time and they just gave away one of the appointments to someone else as I’m on the phone with representative. I was waiting for this spot over a month! Instead of fixing the situation, I was just rudely answered that «there is nothing they could» do and rescheduled for another MONTH.
