I've had 2 total knee replacements with Dr Plagens. The surgery and recovery went on both surgeries was great! Not only is he an excellent Surgeon, he is a kind and thoughtful person. His staff is also fantastic!!!

Christine B. • December 05, 2024

Dr. Plagens informed be that my only choice was knee replacement surgery. He explained that it is not joint replacement but putting a cap on the bones with a lubricant in the joint. Sounded positive to me.

Margaret G. • June 27, 2024

Very caring. Passionate physician. Gives it to you straight and recmends best options at the time. I drove 30 plus miles to see Dr. Plegans. I wouldn't have gone to anyone else. I am very happy with his recommendation and went with it. I might add very gentle as well.

Martha B. • June 25, 2024

Couldn't open my finger for two months. Dr. Plagens gave me one injection and opened my finger. Problem solved! I would certainly recommend him to anyone with a "trigger" finger!

Sherlyn M. • June 18, 2024

The Office staff did a terrific job adjusting due to doctor’s last minute schedule change and accommodating my schedule. The best thing was the triage care I received from Dr. Platens. I saw another doctor before coming to this appointment and felt like the rushed through triaging my injury and pain. I left feeling like I found the best doctor and care.

Barbara C. • April 24, 2024

It was very nice..everyone was very pleasant.. it didn't take very long to see Dr Plegans after I filled out papers...I recommend anyone who has issues to schedule with their clinic..

Connie H. • April 16, 2024

Dr Plagens is awesome, personable and very easy to talk to. He takes time with you and doesn’t rush. I don’t particularly like sitting in the waiting room though where every time I have an appointment they have the VIEW on. It’s a sickening politically structured show. Most people I speak with there hate it.
