DR. JEFFREY N. KAPLAN has been honored with a “Top Doctor” award for five consecutive years from the Consumers’ Research Council in the Guide to America’s Top Ophthalmologists. After completing his ophthalmology residency at Downstate Medical Center in New York City, he was recruited to join world-renowned ophthalmologist Dr. Seymour Dubroff in the Greater Washington, D.C. area to participate in a fellowship program to study and perform some of the most innovative ophthalmic surgical techniques, including phacoemulsification cataract surgery. He has been invited to teach fellow ophthalmologists these latest techniques of cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation.
To date, Dr. Kaplan has performed more than 11,000 cataract surgeries. His surgical expertise includes implanting specialty intraocular lenses such as the Toric lens to correct astigmatism and multifocal intraocular lenses to eliminate or reduce the need for reading glasses after cataract surgery. “Doctors and patients have different choices when it comes to the type of lens that is implanted during cataract surgery,” he notes. “There are definite differences in each. Some are better for reading, some for intermediate and distance.” They still yield good results, but must be tailored to each individual. “You have to know the risks and benefits,” he says. “People with astigmatism, glaucoma or macular degeneration may not be good candidates for multifocal lenses, which cut some light,” he explains. “You don’t want to magnify existing problems and take away the benefits of the specialty lens. I take the time to make sure that I can maximize the outcome and that the patient’s goals and mine coincide with each other.”
Dr. Kaplan is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and a diplomate of the American Board of Ophthalmology. He is honored to be partners with Dr. Jeffrey Sandler and Dr. Anthony Masi in the Eye Group of Connecticut. The doctors are aware of the precious nature of sight and are very proud that their staff strives to provide each patient with a warm and welcoming atmosphere whether the patient is there for a routine eye exam or a significant vision problem.

I'm glad to see no. 7 is Dr Cohen. In my opinion he's no 1 but I have no way of judging the top 6. He operated on me in 2001 because I was high risk of getting colon cancer it was felt. I'm still here 11 years later doc! I'm fine w/respect to the surgery but do have an issue with a lumbar bone out of place and am dealing w/that now. Things are much better since I had the two Epidural shots. I get the third tommorow. You go Dr. Cohen!

Dr. Gary Price has gone above and beyond his call of duty . I have had several procedures done by him and wouldn't think of going to anyone else. He has done a complete face lift on me. Several laser treatments and a couple of touch up mini lifts. I'm considering having liposuction by him. If anyone out there is considering cosmetic work done you should definitely have a consultation with Gary Price.
A grateful and satisfied patient

Dr Gerstenhaber is the BEST Pulmonary
Doctor in the New Haven area. He is extremely smart and knows more than his specialty.
He is kind and compassionate and has a wonderful way of appropriately infusing humor into what can be
a tense situation...
I commend him for his tremendous work ethic and feel so grateful that he cared for each of my parents and now myself.
I can only say thank you for always being so available to us.

Dr. Neil Floch and the staff of Fairfield County Bariatrics have afforded me a second chance for a more active and healthier life. In June of 2011 at 68 yrs old Dr. Neil performed RNY Gastric Bypass at Norwalk Hospital and as of 10 mos post op I have lost 102 lbs and gain a second chance to enjoy life more fully. I left the hospital completely offm of the three type 2 diabetes meds I had been on for 12+ years. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Floch and Fairfield County Bariatrics and fully endorse the excellent level of care that I experienced both pre and post op and would urge anyone considering wls to them.
