the good doctors biography
Biography of Dr. Michael Kaplan
After receiving my degree from the Pa. College of Optometry I opened my optometric practice in 1968 in Collins Park, New Castle Delaware. I knew no one but I introduced myself to every school nurse in New Castle, every physician, every pharmacist, the Motor Vehicle Registration and anyone else I could think of. The practice evolved and in 1981 we moved into a bigger location on Dupont Highway. Our intentions were to specialize in contact lenses so we ordered a stock of over 1000 lenses. We grew quickly and needed another optometrist. Dr. Matt Epstein applied, and as soon as I met him, I knew that he would be perfect. I never interviewed another optometrist. I retired in 2004 and Dr. Paek immediately joined Dr. Epstein. This year, Dr. Epstein retired and Dr. Paek became the new proud owner with Dr. Epstein practicing on a limited basis.the new name is GOODEYECARE. |
I am so proud of the careers of both of these two professionals knowing that the practice will continue to provide the highest quality optometric care to their patients.

Memo from Dr. epstein
I joined Dr. Kaplan in 1983. After practicing at Parkway Plaza Shopping Center for 18 tears, I decided to build a new building at 169 Christiana Road. The grand opening was May of 2001. Dr. Kaplan retired 3 years later and Dr. Kim (Dr. Paek) joined the practice. For the next 17 years, we practiced together until Dr. Kim bought the practice on June 1, 2021. It is nice to know that our patients will continue to get the highest quality of vision care.

Good eyecare
In June of 2021, Dr. Kim took over the practice from Dr. Epstein and formed Good Eyecare. At Good Eyecare we are proud and honored to take over a practice that has served the New Castle area over the past 20 years! Dr. Epstein has learned valuable/quality care from Dr. Kaplan, who in turn taught Dr. Kim the same valuable/quality care.
As Good Eyecare gets established, Dr. Epstein will continue to practice and help Dr. Kim in the transition process.
