Reviewed on February 20, 2020 nice to see a doctor that was actually listening to me instead of typing on a computer....in my opinion computers should not be used while interviewing a patient as my experience in the past with other providers has been that they don't hear half of what your saying
Reviewed on February 13, 2020 Dr. Plaskon is an amazing doctor. She listens and works with the patient to resolve health issues. She also takes other medical conditions into account during treatment. Not all doctors do this but she does. I can't say enough about her. She is exceptional.
Reviewed on December 8, 2020 felt rushed..
Reviewed on November 20, 2020 Provider failed to mention all my options because provider's capability was limited to one type of surgery. After the visit, I did my own research using google to self-educate and found law suits regarding suggested procedures. I did not feel provider was totally honest with me about other options and complications in year 2 to 10.
