Dr. Eddie Kaplan is my OBGYN, and I think he is great! He is very reassuring and understanding. And he is accessible. I e-mailed him a couple of times with questions that were not pressing and asked him tons of questions at each appointment.

I was very pleased with his episiotomy rate, willingness for us to bring in tools to make me comfortable during labor, and other questions I had about delivery, which I don't remember anymore. His back up, Dr. Shaw, actually delivered my daughter, and I was comfortable with him too.
Dr. Kaplan has a new partner, whom I have not yet met.

The only complaint I have is the very long waits in the waiting room, but I suppose you have to expect that from someone who delivers babies! Plus the practice was going through changes when I was pregnant with my daughter. They were understaffed because one of his partners left to work on the fertility end of things. Still, Dr. Kaplan was very kind and patient with me, despite having to deliver so many extra babies.

Delivered at Lenox Hill with Dr. Irving Buterman. He is fantastic! His advice and guidance contains no BS - he really is a straight shooter. We interviewed many OBGYN's before settling on him. What instantly caught our attention is that we could sense the years of experience that he had (of course, not just by way of his age, or seeing his gradutation certificates, but his general demeanor spoke of a doctor who is at the top of heap in his field) - it was very reassuring. Never did he rush through an appointment. His staff are also top notch - I always walked out of his office with the peace of mind that I have (and will continue to have) the best of care for my pregnancy and delivery.

His contact details are: 950 Park Avenue, New York, NY - ###-###-####.

Best wishes to you.

Eddie Kaplan is AMAZING!! He delivered my son Jack 3 years ago and I have nothing but great things to say about him. The office was great and he was just a wonderful docotor.
Good luck on your pregnancy!

I delivered at Lenox Hill; my OB was Dr. Jennifer Wu. She shares a practice with Dr. Abe Shahim at Manhattan Women's Health. I like them both very much as well as their staff. If you want their info or more details on them, feel free to email me.

Hi E., I highly recommend Dr. Edmund Kaplan (guess his nickname is Eddie?). He delivered my baby at Lenox Hill, and he is AWESOME! I don't have one negative comment about him. He is an incredible Dr. and has great bedside manner. I love him to pieces. Goodluck!

I know you said Lenox Hill, but if you are open to St. Luke's Roosevelt which is also rated in the top 10 hospitals to deliver a baby, then I recommend West Side Medical. 5 female doctors. Mine was always Dr. Hope Langer, who has six kids of her own. In my last trimester each appt I was examined by all the other dr's on the outside chance they were on call when I delivered. Luck was on my side and Dr. Langer delivered my son while she was 71/2 months pregnant. They are located btw 92-93rd st and CPW. ###-###-#### Best of luck to you.

Dr.s Romoff and Yale on East 82nd St. They delivered my daughter which was a high risk pregnancy. I've seen them both for over ten years and like them both. Their nurse Liz is also amazing and sometimes all you need.
