Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent physician.
Dr. Ben takes more than adequate time to answer questions. Very thorough.

My medical best friend
Amazing! I have been seeing him 3 years after my open heart surgery and I couldn’t ask for a better provider! He genuinely cares about my heart health and about me as a person. He always asks about my family and life just in general. He makes sure that I leave his office knowing what is currently going on and what the game plan is for the future. I’m really grateful because my surgery was really special and he has been a rockstar for my aftercare. He has a patient in me for as long as he is in practice!

Reassuring
I am not exactly sure if I’m having heart issues or not. He asked me to start from my first episode up until my 1st visit with him. He is my sister’s cardiologist and came highly recommended by her. I’m so grateful that I took her advice. He made me feel comfortable and as confident as possible until I have all of my tests completed. He has such a sincere bedside manner and he explained everything to me in detail so that I would understand. I would recommend him to anyone that may or may not have heart issues! I know that he is definitely going to get to the bottom of what exactly is happening with me.

Personable and knowledgeable!
Every time I go Dr Plaissance is personable and “sees” me. He reads notes and then evaluates those with his years of experience and learning. He can break it down to be understandable and he is so positive. I look forward to what he will see and how we can best handle my care. I honestly feel he cares. You won’t go wrong with him.
