Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Placzek is great
Easy to talk to and tells me what I need to know!

fast and friendly
the care that the entire staff provided was excellent. I had x-rays, evaluated, then a cortisone injection all done on the same visit. Dr Placzek gave me a thorough explanation and I anticipate a good outcome from today's treatment.

Dismissed
I saw Dr Placzek approx 1 year ago, I’ve been experiencing hand pain numbness tingling, carpal tunnel syndrome. I had previous emg’s say it was mild. I was referred to him. He gave me another emg and said I did not have carpal tunnel. I also had snapped tendon in my rt finger. The dismissive way I was treated made me feel I was crazy. He blamed my pain on arthritis & coming from my lupus or fibromyalgia. It took a year but I saw another doctor who indeed found I had CPT( really horrible ) & arthritis in both thumbs. I had the left hand done. I lost the bone in my thumb replaced with tendon. He honestly made me feel like I was making it up. He never addressed my finger, which will be done when my other hand heals. It happens so much I wouldn’t have thought to leave a review, but after what I went thru I changed my mind. I wish doctors listen

Dr. Placzek was very knowledgeable and very attentive to my concerns. He wanted to repeat a previous test I had done, with a little more in-depth measures, before deciding on a course of action. I appreciated him confirming the previous testing outcomes before landing on a diagnosis.
