Dr. Michael Kaplan, a native of Long Island, graduated from Commack High School and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Miami where he majored in psychology. He returned to the New York area to attend the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine where he earned his D.O. degree.
Dr. Kaplan did his residency training in internal medicine at the North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, New York. He is Board Certified in Internal Medicine.
After practicing internal medicine for two years, Dr. Kaplan moved into the field of bariatric medicine, dealing specifically with the medical and emotional needs of the obese individual. It was his recognition that obesity is not a matter of self-control but a chronic medical disorder with a physiological basis, which led Dr. Kaplan into this specialty.
Dr. Kaplan founded the Long Island Weight Loss Institute in 2002 to best serve the needs of the overweight individual. And, Long Island Weight Loss Institute stresses an individualized approach to weight loss through a combined program of diet, exercise and personal counseling. Dr. Kaplan and his staff, all trained in obesity issues, work together with the patient to create a program based on the unique requirements of the patient.
Dr. Kaplan finds the practice of bariatric medicine allows him to change the health and well being of peoples' lives in a significant and meaningful way. Not only does he help enable his patients to lose weight and keep it off, but to deal successfully with the other problems associated with obesity, including diabetes, sleep apnea, and hypertension.
