I've been a patient for many years! I started out seeing Dr. Dan Caplan (recommended by one of my doctors) and when Dr. Chad Caplan joined the practice I began to see him. Always a comfortable and informative visit! I'll definitely continue my annual eye exams here. The staff is also very friendly!
I have been a patient of Dr. Dan Caplan in Metairie for many years, and I cannot say enough good things about the care he provides. He is extremely professional, thorough, and truly takes the time to make sure every concern is addressed. The trust I have in Dr. Caplan says it all, my wife and son now see him as well. He has always provided our family with excellent care and a level of attention that is hard to find. I highly recommend Dr. Caplan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated doctor.
Dr. Sumich and his staff are great. He took spent time discussing options for my cataract surgery for both eyes. Always pleasant, not rushed and listening to my questions. Definitely recommend to others. Special shout out to Ivy, surgical assistant. Thank you Ivy!
I have been seeing eye doctors for forty years and Caplan Eye Clinic is the most friendly and competent eye treatment centers there is. Everybody takes their time with you and your never rushed or have to deal with any bad attitudes. The best ever!!!!
I was very pleased with my experience. The staff were all welcoming, helping, and kind. Dr. Caplan took his time to validate my concerns and explain that cause, which I felt previous eye doctors did not take the time to do so.
