Great and caring Dr.. and the staff at the surgical center are the best!!!
Excellent doctor
All the staff were attentive and supportive. Dr. Placzek was thorough and clearly delineated his treatment plan. Always a pleasure!
Very punctual and great at explaining my injury along with care.
Excellent care and explanation. Friendly, well organized. Great staff
I wish I had seen him, rather than James, or at least had it explained why I wasn't seeing Dr. Placzek.
Will definitely recommend Dr Placzek to others in need of a Orthopedic Surgeon
Excellent care and his team is professional and compassionate!
My wrist clearly needs the ganglion cyst removed. Pain directly at the site and it’s affecting my work by the end of the day. Have had it for years! dr placzek said he would remove it as soon as all of the testing was complete. 2 months later he won’t touch it and very rudely said to go to someone else. Absolutely no tact or bedside manner. Dismissed everything i said. Didn’t even listen or read any notes cause he kept asking me the results of my tests? I felt like he is afraid to remove it!!! I would never go back to him. I wasted months and alot of money. The hand dr i am seeing now did not require all of the expensive tests. Placzek cost me alot of money. I will be leaving an online review as well.
Listened, evaluated and discussed the options. Patient
