The Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine

What The Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine does

The Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine is a privately held, fee-for-service medical practice headquartered in McLean, Virginia, founded in 1984 by Dr. Gary Kaplan, DO. The practice treats chronic complex conditions, including Long COVID, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's, PANS/PANDAS, mold toxicity, and hormonal imbalances, serving patients in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area who have not responded adequately to conventional care. Service delivery spans in-person consultations at the McLean clinic and telemedicine visits, with patients paying at the time of service and seeking out-of-network insurance reimbursement on their own.

The clinical offering is anchored by the proprietary Kaplan Method®, a 40-year-developed integrative framework combining immunology, neurology, genetics, and functional medicine to address root causes of immune dysfunction. The service portfolio includes Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) — making the center the first outpatient clinic in greater DC to offer the FDA-approved therapy — alongside medical acupuncture, IV therapy (including Niagen+/NAD+), hormone replacement, detoxification protocols, physical therapy, psychotherapy/EMDR, nutritional counseling, functional medicine assessment, and intensive diagnostics routed through five exclusive specialty laboratory partners (Genova Diagnostics, Great Plains Laboratory, IGeneX, Moleculera Labs, Intracellular Diagnostics). Adjacent revenue includes a provider-vetted online supplement store and a Kaplan Longevity sub-brand offering anti-aging and longevity services.

The business is founder-controlled, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or parent company. Operating geography is regional (Washington metro), with nine named providers, a multidisciplinary support team, and HIPAA-compliant operations. Distribution is direct-to-patient via content marketing, social media, webinars, podcasts, and earned media; the practice does not participate with commercial insurance, and some practitioners have opted out of Medicare.

Direct competitor in the chronic complex illness and functional medicine space, but operates at greater geographic scale and tech-enabled model.

Comparable cash-pay integrative clinic with similar service mix to Kaplan Center, but operating in a different geographic market.

Comparable for combining advanced diagnostics, supplement-based protocols, and integrative care for complex chronic conditions on a cash-pay basis.

Comparable as a multi-specialty institution incorporating integrative approaches, though at vastly larger scale than the Kaplan Center.

Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a competitor, but represents the diagnostic infrastructure underpinning Kaplan Center's testing capability.
