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. Plaehn is a fabulous doctor who has been doing my colonoscopies every three years for many YEARS!! He is personable, highly intelligent, and very funny! If you really want to impress him, be sure to wear U of M clothing, U of M mask, and say “GO BLUE!”. I even had a U of M tattoo put on my lower, lower, lower back just for a surprise for him six years ago. He was impressed!

Does not take time to explain results of procedures. Brags about how fast he performs colonoscopies/endoscopies. When asked what you what could be done to improve Barrett’s just referred me to a surgeon.
