Definitely PATIENT. When l was told after my first MRI of my left shoulder (June of 2022) that a joint replacement was recommended. The LAST thing l wanted was to undergo surgery!! At 70 l had undergone surgery for a hiatal hernShow moreia the previous year & just couldn’t conceive of going through the PAIN again! So l opted for cortisone injections & oral medication. Unfortunately the one medication that did help l was unable to tolerate due to the effect on my blood pressure. So after a year of trying to avoid surgery l conceded to DEFEAT & am now opting for surgery due to the PAIN l can no longer tolerate. Dr. Plagens NEVER once said l told you so! I only wish l had not hesitated since the surgery would be over & done with NOW! Dr. Plagens was recommended by my own PC who had had rotator cuff surgery himself under Dr. Plagens. I do APPRECIATE Dr. Plagens kindness & patience during this last year.

From the minute I came into the office I noticed a certain calm peace. Everyone I encountered was kind. I was most impressed with Dr. Plagen he took so much time and care with me as a new patient . He is so forthright and honest yShow moreet with much care and concern, even saying that treasured line “if you were my mother “ here’s what I’d tell you. I am a woman of faith and this doctor I believe by his integrity has affirmed me and I thank God!!! Sincerely. Mrs. Lucy Bott ps thank you also Dr. Doug for being you

Always a great experience. I look forward to seeing Dr. Plagens & the staff. Kind & friendly always.

Donna S. • March 28, 2024

Dr. Plagens explains the procedure and what to expect where it’s easy to understand. He has a great “bed side” manner and is willing to listen to you. I had my hip replaced almost three years ago and he did an excellent job. Now, I’m back to eventually get my knee replaced.

Jill S. • March 28, 2024

A lot easier than a root canal.

Martin S. • March 14, 2024

Availability of appointment times was excellent and the staff was attentive and cordial. All explanations of the injury and procedure were very clear. The procedure went well and recovery process was exactly as described.

Timothy M. • February 27, 2024

I was very pleased with the time given to me & answers to all my questions. Dr. Plagens never rushed me or made me feel like a number. He explained my xrays in detail, as well as my upcoming surgery. His staff were exceptional as well. It was well over an hour until I saw the doctor, but it was worth it. I definately recommend Dr. Plagens.

Paulette D. • November 09, 2023

He was very friendly and professional and explained everything so that I could understand

Josephine T. • November 08, 2023

Dr. Plagens is a great doctor and I recommend him highly. My gripe is being put, alone, in an examining room and having to wait half an hour or more for the doctor to come in. No nurse or assistant does anything for or with the patient during the wait. Why not wait to bring the patient from the waiting room, which is much more comfortable, until the doctor is close to ready to seeing the patient?

Frank F. • November 07, 2023

Very good

Jeanette L. • October 27, 2023

I had a great experience with Dr. Plagens, he explained everything thoroughly, went over all the options and created a plan moving forward! Highly recommend!
