The reviews listed below were collected independently of Michigan Orthopaedic Surgeons through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
I am completely confused. I thought we had an appointment with Dr. Placzek. That was who I made the appointment with. However, we never met him. We spoke with James who I thought was Dr. Placzek and was totally confused the whole visit . James was fabulous and very knowledgeable don’t get me wrong. but I am completely confused about who James is and why I was not notified that I was not actually seeing Dr. Placzek. I feel like this should be told to the patient at the time the appointment is made and I am disappointed that I had no idea about any of this. This to me is not okay and needs to be fixed for future patients.

I work very hard to choose practitioners who are not only skilled but sync with my mindset. This doc doesn’t disappoint! I appreciate his frankness and not rushing to surgery. Highly recommend!
