I'm Dr. Bruce Kaplan, a former dentist and chiropractor who has lived with multiple sclerosis since 1981.
I've lost two careers to MS, questioned conventional assumptions, explored different approaches to living with this disease, and learned lessons I wish I'd known decades ago.
Now I'm sharing those experiences through my book, Still Standing.
Real experiences. Thought-provoking questions. No miracle cures or false promises.

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987, after experiencing my first symptoms in dental school six years earlier.
MS eventually forced me to leave two healthcare careers; first dentistry, then chiropractic. Along the way, I became both a healthcare professional and a lifelong patient, learning firsthand how complicated living with a chronic neurological condition can be.
After 45 years, I don't claim to have all the answers. But I have experiences, insights, and questions worth sharing.
Through Still Standing, I explore what I've learned about living with MS, the importance of asking informed questions, and the determination to keep moving forward; even when the path changes.
My goal is simple: to help others living with MS feel less alone and more empowered to participate in their own care.
Go beyond the videos and explore the experiences, questions, and lessons that shaped my 45-year MS journey.
